Quoth the intrepid GA: "I got cold feet about pursuing fashion, but as soon as I started law school, I thought, What have I done?" A sentiment that should stir the heart-strings of a fair number of us.
Her name is Jeannie Lee, and her shop is Satine (on Third Street - I have no idea where that is). She hasn't quit her GA day job yet, but may do pretty well with this boutique and fight her way free - she set up a Nintendo area in the store where boyfriends/husbands may be deposited while one shops, which seems pretty savvy to me. If we were in L.A., I'd probably be dragging the Mr. there on a regular basis.

The store is pretty cool - high end shoes and clothes and you can get a pedicure there, too. It is actually the result of a partnership between the self-described "actress-lawyer" Jeannie Lee and Ilaria Urbinati (who was a buyer for her aunt's store, Laura Urbinati).
