Fall Prints and Boyfriend Jeans at Meikayla - New Women's Fashion Store in Santee Alley

Meikayla, a women's fashion wholesale and retail clothing store, opened in Santee Alley earlier this month. It is actually the sister store of T&J Fashion Mart, a family-owned casual clothing business that's been operating out of Downtown LA for many years. Meikayla offers more trendy, boutique-style clothing than T&J, but we were happy to find the same friendly customer service that's made T&J so popular. Currently Meikayla is stocked with a mix of end-of-summer and early fall fashions ranging from matching 2-piece skirt sets to jackets and boyfriend jeans. In fact they have the cutest boyfriend jeans we've seen in the alley recently, perfectly distresses and cuffed! Scroll below for a photo tour of the store and current inventory.

How cute are the prints on these dresses/tunics? They're the perfect transitional piece for this in-between-summer-and-fall weather.

See^^ We weren't kidding about those boyfriend jeans. Super cute! They also have the ever popular terry joggers.

Fall sweaters and jackets are starting to make an appearance in the alley. Meikayla, along with most Santee Alley, stores will be fully stocked with fall fashions in the next couple weeks.

Casual Cool at T & J Fashion Mart

Maxi skirts. Maxi dresses. Tank tops. Summer dresses. Leggings. Jean jackets. Skinny jeans. Flirty tops.

Located right by the 12th Street entrance of the alley, T & J is our go-to place for laid back style and closet staples, like the perfect maxi. This little corner store has great variety and a super friendly staff. John, the owner, usually rings up shoppers himself. He keeps inventory fresh and simple. Very "Cali-Cool" if you ask us.
