Store of the Day: Beatrice Valenzuela

I have long been a fan of Beatrice Valenzuela and her amazing shoes for both adults and little ones alike – Ripley and I practically live in our many pairs, rotating favorites depending upon the season. So when I found out that she was opening her flagship store in Echo Park, I was thrilled.

Located right next door to Cookbook and open for barely a month, her store feels just as I would have suspected – filled with beautiful color, energy, and authenticity, and a wonderful assortment of her cult-worthy shoes. Apart from her selection of footwear for men, women, and children, she also features a carefully curated and ever-changing offering of treasures, both from local artisans and those discovered in her travels. I encourage you to drop in – you won’t leave disappointed, and probably not without a pair or two. Also, stay tuned this Friday for my profile on Beatrice and her equally charming home! XXJKE
