Description

Once upon a time, a little over a year ago you left your house to go shopping. Maybe it was to buy a new pair of jeans, or sensible work shoes or even just to buy a coffee and wander past stores simply because you could. Rewind 16 years or more and you could have gone shopping at the mecca for millennial movie stars, ground zero for graphic tees and a paragon of questionable taste, Kitson boutique on Robertson in Los Angeles. This episode uses astrology, some conspiracy theories and a Scott Disick metaphor to explain the ups and downs of the store. It’s time to break out your trucker hat and an oversized hip slung belt and remember the good, the bad and the bedazzled that this boutique shared with us.
