All has gone quiet since rumors of a Chloe boutique on Melrose surfaced earlier this week, so we decided to take a cruise down the street and check out the situation for ourselves. Unfortunately, we saw nothing even remotely resembling a major luxury boutique that will be ready to open in the next few days. Maybe Chloe is just conducting an ultra-stealth renovation effort, maybe the original tipster got his location wrong, or maybe the rumor is, well, just that. Either way, don't be surprised if Melrose remains Chloe-free, at least for this week. [Previously]
