How I started and Why am I here.

Hello, My name is Liz I am the owner of Valerie's Boulevard located in Whittier, CA.
I have a beautiful little girl name Valerie Darla. She is a cutie ( LOOK BELOW)
She is my inspiration on why I opened this business. Starting a business isn't easy, I started my business selling at flea markets like Pasadena Rose Bowl and Long Beach Antique Swap meet.  My booth was the booth that mostly stand out. I had a mannequin that wore a beautiful 50's prom dress.
People stopped and took many pictures and admire this dress. I never sold this dress because I literally asked too much and the reason was because I didn't and don't want to sell it. This is the dress that started it all. It has a meaning : )
Before opening my little shop in 11218 WHITTIER BLVD, WHITTIER CA 90606
I vended at many car shows and got the word around about our opening of our shop, people loved the clothes and our customers are extremely happy to find a local shop that sells nothing but authentic clothing. Nothing like a regular vintage store that varies from some 50's to 80's. I've seen so many beautiful pieces go to wonderful customers and my enjoyment isn't just having that special kind of inventory but how excited and happy my customers get when they find their dream dress and it fits them perfect. I love to see how girls buy dresses that need some repair and don't put a side just because of the tear but buys it as a vintage challenge. Here are a group of photos of beautiful dresses I've had or have at our shop.
