Sugar on
La Brea is a scrumptious fashion boutique on La Brea created by self-proclaimed
GRITS (Girls Raised in Texas) Jeanette Chivvis and Kelley West. According
to Jeanette and Kelley, "The concept of Sugar is to convey the
graciousness of Southern women -- we’re chic but sweet." Indeed,
Sugar glistens with the warmth and elegance of an Old South stately
home. The bright and sunny store is flooded with soft pink and lavender
hues and filled with antique furniture, vintage copper and iron racks,
shimmering chandeliers, and fine old Oriental rugs.
