October 2008 Archives

Mush is an eclectic boutique with an emphasis on home decor, located in a Historical Landmark building, built by famed director Cecil B. Demille (Actually, this particular building was originally his production house with Paramount Studios), in Hollywood California.   I Love Cecil B. Demille!!...And I love Mush!  Every month or two they have fantastic little, martini shopping parties in the store...that I find quite nice to attend.  Def one of my fave secret spots to shop and pick up specialty gifts too.

The high light of the 80's for me, aside from collecting hundreds of rubber bracelets and watching MTV every night, till the break of dawn...Was collecting these plastic sushi rolls and other plastic chotchkies that looked real...I could have sworn they were called Minkmans, but for some strange reason...that word IS NOT coming up in Google...Anyhow...I thought it was very cool to see these fantastic frosted, faux cocktail, martini Minkman type...ummm....I dunno what the word is for these....But I love em!!!

Owner Michelle van der Heijden hand selects each and every item for her boutique with great care and love.  Drawing from 20 years of interior design and retail experience from the East Coast to the West.

I also love the collection of jewelry pieces Michelle has put together.  I highly recommend dropping by for a look.  Mush offers a broad range of pieces from, clean and modern, to vintage, as well as items that are quite delicate and feminine.  Gotta love that...

I happen to personally love anything with a bohemian flare.  I don't think it ever really goes out of style especially, if you wear it and it does not wear you...
