New boutique on Ballard Ave.

What used to be Collective on Ballard Avenue, is now an upscale women’s boutique called Dolce Vita. The place has been repainted, they’ve added a chandelier or two and put up a wall between the front half of the space and the back half of the space so it seems smaller. The shop just opened last Saturday and it still has that new paint smell. Dolce Vita has three other locations around the country – New York City, Los Angeles and Santa Monica. According to their website, they’re targeting “the young, the restless and the glamorous.”
