Have you ever had a best friend with a closet so fabulous that you just wanted to move in? Pretty and pink, and stuffed to the ceiling with the yummiest dresses, shirts, jackets, shoes and accessories, this lovely room pulsed with the heartbeat of shared secrets, laughter, tears, dreams, and of course, the clothes.

Your fondest girlhood memories will be rekindled when you visit Sugar, a scrumptious new boutique on La Brea created by self-proclaimed GRITS (Girls Raised in Texas) Jeanette Chivvis and Kelley West. According to Jeanette and Kelley, “The concept of Sugar is to convey the graciousness of Southern women -- we’re chic but sweet.” Indeed, Sugar glistens with the warmth and elegance of an Old South stately home. The bright and sunny store is flooded with soft pink and lavender hues and filled with antique furniture, vintage copper and iron racks, shimmering chandeliers, and fine old Oriental rugs.

But Sugar’s star attraction is the merchandise -- amazing clothes from top designers, jewelry, shoes and every conceivable accessory. Current collections include Trina Turk, Pegah, BelleKat, Samantha Treacy, Story of Love, Loomstate, Jak&Rae, People of the World jeans and Nay-Nay, Jeanette’s own collection of vintage couture scarf shrugs. Sugar also boasts one of Los Angeles’ most impressive selection of one of a kind vintage couture jewelry, including Chanel and Hermes.

Shopping for your baby or pet? The Sugar Babies section is filled with adorable accessories for the Sugar Baby in your life. And no Southern Belle worth her sugar would allow guests to enter her home without offering them a sweet treat. Sugar serves complimentary Sugar Cakes, petite cupcakes in an array of flavors artfully arranged on a silver platter. Sugar Cakes are sold by the cup crate (dozen) exclusively at Sugar.
