Gimme an ‘A’

Addiction Boutique

You recently commandeered (read: stole) your brother’s car for an impromptu (read: premeditated) cross-country drive in search of Karen Zambos Vintage.

That doesn’t make you a delinquent — just an Atlantan with a jones for high fashion.

While you’re at it, a pit stop at new Addiction boutique is worth adding to the rap sheet.

Owner Nikki Salk (Chicago’s Denim Lounge) slings super scarce-in-Atlanta lines like Found denim, London’s Basso & Brooke and Phi, and Badgley Mischka eyewear. Also in the lineup: Gryson bags, Sylvie Cachay beach blankets, and razor-sharp art and style books by Taschen and Assouline — all displayed atop vintage pharmacy tables, cocktail benches, and chairs Salk refinishes in her spare time.

And, yes, they’re for sale, too.

Giving you one more reason to case the joint.

Addiction, 414 East Paces Ferry Road (678-927-9383 or shop-addiction.com).
