California Dreamin’

Addict Boutique Opens

To honor the beatniks, you slept in a Venice Beach commune and built a shrine on San Fran’s Kerouac Alley.

When it comes to California, you’re, ahem, a Junkie.

Now that you’re home, get your fix at Addict, a new North Beach boutique where wares all come from Cali.

Find clothing and accessories from indie labels like Moon Collection, Rubber Ducky, and Do & Be. Quell your inner hippie chick with a lax-fitting blue frock by Mai Tai.

If your emerging artist grant doesn’t quite cover shopping, don’t worry. Addict caters to a creative’s budget (owner Danny Sanchez brought you the in-but-inexpensive stock at Mia on Bird Road and Kore on Biscayne). Everything rings in at under $110.

A spot where clothes and consumerism don’t clash?

It’s enough to make you Howl.

Addict, 15544 Biscayne Boulevard (305-945-5323).
