GREY GARDENS

posted by on Jul 30 2014, under Fashion

Today we're summering in Europe.  In L.A...

Amidst the heavy traffic and yoga-gear-clad moms of Beverly Hills lay a few pockets of Hollywood that are more reminiscent of an inland escape in the Mediterranean than a fog-infused movie town.

A three minute bike ride from my home finds me regularly at the Melrose Place garden of Eden; a perfectly manicured landscape invites you into brick alley back streets home to Marni, Isabel Marant, Alexander McQueen, and the rest of the European Union. Their retail stores, that is.

It's as if a secret garden erupted inside of the world's largest walk-in closet.

On Sundays, Melrose Place shuts down to traffic and becomes a walk and bike-friendly street to welcome its weekly Farmer's Market. Here, locals stock up on fresh organic vegetables, handmade friendship bracelets, and freshly bottled dips and sauces. 

On any given day in Hollywood, you can wake up in Europe...

if you close your eyes hard enough.
