In ShortThis boutique is one of beach-chic Main Street's crown jewels. Party frocks by Rebecca Taylor, stacks of designer denim (Sass and Bide, J Brand, Earnest Sewn) and sexy camis from Tibi and Catherine Malandrino coexist nicely in this airy, light-filled space. Cheeky Puella lingerie and Nicole Miller bikinis share floor space with vintage bicycles, an old-fashioned gumball machine and banana yellow middle school-style lockers. Seriously cool clothes plus old-fashioned whimsy equals can't-miss shopping.
Key Points
- Designer Boutique
- Convenient parking

Insider Pages Reviews for Blonde and its website, blondeLA.com
Worth a look once in awhile to get fashion ideas and that fun sale item find! I used to be an avid shopper of Vamp down the street before they went out of business, and luckily Blonde has stayed around to fill that void of cute-ness needed to inspire the frocks in my closet.

Trendy boutique with the latest fashion. I love this store they have great clothes but be prepared to spend some money because they are not cheap and you are going to want to buy everything.

Though located a little bit farther away from all of the shops and bars on Main, Blonde is worth hitting up for trendy LA type clothing. It's smallish but has lots of jeans and tops along with more expensive pieces.
PROS: Has all of the trendy LA designers, lots of jeans
CONS: Small, not huge selection

Horrible experience
by jewelryamerica
Absolutely incompetent website. Do NOT order from here! They practically stole from me. They will not communicate when they are not able to ship, but they will charge your credit card. Horrible, terrible!
Cons: liars

Blonde LA -Best Boutique in LA

By far the best boutique in all of Los Angeles. Couldn't have said it any better -really feels like you're shopping in your girlfriend's closet. Sad I have to share but it i'll be our own little secret......

Blonde is more fun...
by buffsters
If shops were people, Blonde would live up to the rep for being more fun.
My favorite shops are the ones where it's obvious the people behind it really love what they are doing and are able to really share that fully through the look and feel of the shop. This is one of those rare boutiques. The staff is incredibly savvy, informed, hilarious, resourceful, laid-back and sophisticated--and if you want the best stuff from the best designers going right now (and great advice about how to wear it), this is the place to find it all.
Be sure to check out their website--full of great vids, music, extras--and of course all the fine clothes to look at and purchase. One of the better shopping sites I've seen.
Go have some fun!

the one stop shopping experience
by libertas
this is the place to go for whatever event you are getting dressed for, from a stylish pair of jeans and a fantastic top to party frocks, and not to mention all the accessories available to complete the whole outfit! If it wasn't for blonde, I would probably wake up every morning freaking out that I had a closet full of nothing to wear-thanks to blonde I have a closet full of fabulous clothes!
Pros: great relaxed environment
