The West Is Dead

I've been meaning to visit the new What Goes Around for a while now. I've read countless reviews about the new location and yesterday, I finally got a chance to check it out.

The moment I walked in, I thought to myself how beautiful, open, and bright the space was in comparison to the old one. Not that I didn't like the old space, but this one definitely served as a better home. The clothes were beautifully displayed and everything was well organized from the denim and tees all down to the preserved cigarette boxes and vintage Chanel. The layout is so perfect, one would think it was custom made to specially house each piece inside the store. I even got to look around "the back room" where certain items were set aside for celebrity stylists a la Rachel Zoe. I touched each garment and couldn't help but think to myself what she would have said if she was there:
"I die."
"Ba-na-nas."
"In-sane."
I laughed at how stupid the thought was but quite frankly, I couldn't have said it better myself.

My guy walked out with a beautiful pair of Levi's Made & Crafted and a new tee from The West Is Dead, a brand that I previously never heard of before. After a bit of research, I learned that their pieces are made right here in L.A. and that a portion of the proceeds go to Native American tribes to "repopulate the native lands with bison". Awesome!

I look forward to many more L.A. trips knowing that What Goes Around is right across the street from AmRag. Saweet!
