Ask the Stylist: Haute Seconds

Expert Opinions are tips from L.A.’s ultimate insiders.  Today’s contributor is fashion stylist Alexandra Haines. 

My biggest, newest secret as a stylist is Haute Seconds on Wilshire in Santa Monica.  These gently used clothes are right off the runway with going-out-of-style prices.  The shop is small enough not to be overwhelming, friendly enough that it is not intimidating, and fresh enough to make you feel fabulous as you try on discarded Prada, Armani, Chloe and all their compatriots.  

I’ve picked up a beautiful hand painted silk Akris top, a classic black Anna Sui dress, and a Jean Paul Gaultier top for under $100 each.  This is the best place to rock some serious names without breaking out the Benjamins. 

Where: 2721 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, Ca 90403

Call:  310-828-6500

About Alexandra: 

I am a stylist that has been in and around the fashion world by styling photo shoots and designing clothes and accessories.  I’ve worked in major design studios tracking trends and creating products for consumers.  None of which would mean anything if I wasn’t intrinsically interested in people and how each individual can express themselves uniquely in their dress.  No cookie cutter advice here.
