With fashion-forward shops sprouting up on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, it's no wonder the attitude on the street has gone from lame to trendy. Almarie Duthie, who owns Elahn, isn't letting the attention go to her head, however--it's the Valley, after all.

Duthie gives a lot of personal attention to shoppers in her store. Among the stock she plucks from are bold, colorful pieces from bright yellow, soft leather bags that could be seen dangling from Karen O's arm to frilly pink dresses. She's also got metallic-colored leather rings and necklaces, multicolored tweed jackets, hot pink Anzevino & Florence shirts adorned with clever sayings in contrasting hues, and camis by Catherine Malandrino. Her boutique is totally cute and we, like, love shopping there, for sure!
