HIGHLAND PARK—Vintage-loving bohemians make pilgrimages to Northeast LA spot Honeywood Vintage (5117 York Boulevard) for the well-stocked space's plethora of perfectly worn tees, hats, colorful blankets, and yes, flower child faved dresses. Since the boutique has a penchant for the latter, it makes a perfect location to host the very first sample sale by modern boho brand Gypsan (blogger/best-selling author Justina Blakeney is a fan). During the sale this Saturday from 11am-4pm, garments will go for as low as $5, up to 80% retail prices. The event will also be offering guests mimosas and tarot card readings courtesy of Vardo.
