Sometimes you find a store that fits the way you like to dress SO well that you want to take everything home with you.

You can't - because the price point is high, but you can save and save and save, and go back again and again.

It happened to me. I found The STORE - actually more than one!

I hope you enjoy today's blog and upcoming blogs about several boutiques in Weston, Missouri.

Explore the World of Johnny Was...

After 25 successful years as a Los Angeles-based wholesale manufacturer, founder Eli Levite wanted to share the JOHNNY WAS lifestyle with his customers first-hand by expanding into retail. The first JOHNNY WAS store opened at Los Angeles’s Santa Monica Place in 2010, and eight more locations quickly followed. Incorporating an eclectic mix of antique textiles, collectibles, and hand-crafted furniture within a bright, contemporary space, the JOHNNY WAS retail experience embodies the brand’s eclectic vintage-inspired yet timeless aesthetic brought to life. Today, the brand’s six lines can be found in nine JOHNNY WAS retail stores, as well as over 1000 luxury boutiques worldwide, and online at johnnywas

.com.

Music and family have always been integral to the JOHNNY WAS culture. With his children by his side, Eli Levite started to conceptualize his fashion business in the late 1980s. The soundtrack to this period

was Bob Marley’s infectious “Johnny Was a Good Man,” the inspiration behind the brand’s name.

Since its inception in 1987, JOHNNY WAS has been embraced by free-spirited and confident women who are drawn to the brand’s unique signature aesthetic: a visual juxtaposition between vintage and modern, reserved and unrestrained, traditional and innovative. Inspired by world cultures, the arts, and historical

dressmaker techniques, the JOHNNY WAS brand transcends fashion trends with its beautifully crafted clothing and one-of-a-kind accessories. Embracing the quintessential California bohemian lifestyle, JOHNNY WAS appeals to the modern gypsy.

The company’s six divisions are embraced by women for every facet of their lives. The brand’s hallmark JOHNNY WAS Collection offers a broad range of boho-chic clothing fit for one’s daily wardrobe. The BIYA line offers bold silhouettes in opulent fabrications, while Pete & Greta brings lifestyle basics with an edge. JWLA represents casual-yet-unique cool, while sister line 3J Workshop re-imagines the traditional menswear shirt with unique feminine details. 4 Love and Liberty’s ethereal creations cater to the fashion-forward sophisticate.
