Wow, time certainly does fly.  It feels like just yesterday we were opening our first store in Southern California on Melrose Avenue in 1999, and now here we are, celebrating our 20th anniversary at the location where it all began!  To celebrate, we had a DJ spinning 90’s tunes, celebration bubbly, staff dressed in 90’s-inspired attire, and tons of curated pieces for our customers to shop.  Check out our recap photos below to see how we celebrated turning 20 in LA.

Tell us about the fashion piece that “got away.”

There was an obi belt that was in perfect condition. The seller told me that it was expensive but she didn’t want to keep it any longer. I had intentions of putting the belt aside to purchase, but the day got busy. Later that day, a gentleman came to the register with several items including the obi belt! I was in shock and totally thrown off guard. I really wanted that belt and it definitely got away.

What is your summer uniform?

My summer uniform is a really nice pair of high-rise denim skinny jeans, a loose fitting tank with a bright colored bralette underneath, cute strappy sandals, a cross-body bag and hoop earrings.

What is your fall uniform?

Skinny jeans, black turtleneck, a great oversized loose sweater/cardigan and ankle boots in black or brown with a matching leather backpack.

What are you dying to see come into your store?

Valentino Rock Stud heels in any color, size 7.5 or 8.

Top tips for selling with us?

Comb through the items you are bringing to sell first. Be sure they are in great condition (no stains, tears, buttons missing, unwanted holes).

Favorite thing about working at Crossroads?

Finding one-of-a-kind pieces that I wouldn’t find at a retail department store. The employee discount is also my favorite.
