B.W. COOK -- The Look

SARA boutique celebrated a grand opening at Fashion Island last week,

benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research and

treatment.

The store represents the third outlet for the SARA label, the other

two being in Malibu and Santa Monica. Co-owner Nicole Wachs reports that

SARA “is an ultra chic and sassy boutique with an impressive roster of

celeb clients.”

Nicole owns and runs her 15-year-old business with husband Bob. The

couple of fashion mavens are quite fond of designers Rebecca Taylor,

Carrie Forbes and Nanette Lepore. You will also find items by Gucci,

Prada and Fendi in the store, along with the work of TSE, Earl Jones and

Michael Stars.

To complete the outfit, shoes designed by Anna Sui, Isaac Mizrahi,

Rene Caovilla and Emma Hope are at your call.

Our model is Jennifer Gowan, a former professional dancer who now

works in the fashion industry.
