The Costa Mesa Pod welcomes Style Society Boutique  to the podcast. Shelli, the owner, describes the clothing as LA meets OC, edgy with a bohemian ease. The clothing and accessories are fun, trendy, and cute. They have pieces for professional, social and laidback/workout/beach-y vibes. The boutique even hosts special events, collaborating with other local businesses for a unique experience. I absolutely adore the outfit I bought there and bet you love what Style Society has to offer as well! Give this a listen and find out more of the behind the scenes from Shelli.
