says more about the changing nature of Los Feliz than the price points at the
new Aero & Co. store. Whether
you’re a starving artist with $5 in your vintage Wrangler jeans pocket or a
slumming celeb with $6,000 burning a hole in your floral Guccis, Aero & Co.
has something fabulous you can snag.
Women’s and men’s clothing, candles and body products, jewelry and lamps
and lingerie and perfume fill this carefully curated lifestyle emporium. Fashion cheerleader Alisa Loftin
enlisted designer Cynthia Vincent as the store’s creative consultant. “It’s a place where we can sell things
we have known about that aren’t very accessible – things that will be unique to
the store,” says Vincent. Indeed,
one-of-a-kind finds have long been the best thing about shopping the city’s
East Side, whether it’s at Plastica (where everything is plastic) or the
geniously named Buena, Bonita y Cheep.

Participating stores, identified by something cheesy like a flag or
