Such a gem on a great block. Everything is unique and handmade. These are investment pieces that never go out of style. I always get compliments when I wear a piece of clothing art from Hoity Toity. Ann, the designer, is a lot of fun and no pressure.

Best shop in town to find vintage inspired clothes that are custom hand made by the owner Ann. Ann always greets you a warm welcome and beautiful smile. I love her clothes, handmade lamps and purses. Hard to leave empty handed. ?

I love this store. She has such beautiful clothing that she designs herself. She also does custom work. I've bought a few pieces from her over the years. She's also such a lovely person. I love the feel of the local business when you walk in and they recognize you. And she is real. No sense of phoniness. I don't feel like a dollar symbol. She is passionate about her clothes. The entire area her store is in is amazing.

I'm an attorney and I found this amazing boutique shop with an owner Ann who designs and has made all these pieces custom here in Los Angeles. It's not only Buy Local, it's Buy Awesome. It can work for hip chicks in 20s to lawyer moms in their 50s who want a fun dress. Ann gets womens' bodies, has amazing fabric (imported from Italy, etc.) & her designs use all the tricks that clothes designers did for dresses and jackets in 30s, 40s and 50s in designing womens' clothes. Prices are 1/4 what they'd cost at a Barney's ...Just went there & I'll be back. Plus she makes you feel and look like a millin bucks! Ann is a woman of a "certain age" and doesn't design for teenagers. But my son's 20 year girlfriend LOVED my clothes and wants me to take her and her mom! Keep it up Ann! Thanks.

This boutique is a gem. The gorgeous clothes are designed in way that seeing them on rack does not begin to convey they way they fit and flatter my middle aged lawyer body. Ann is a seamstress, designer, promoter of women of all shapes and sizes, personal stylist and the coolest chick � you want to hang with. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. And it's not only buy local but the gorgeous fabrics from Italy and elsewhere are made here in LA.

Where do I start? Visited there on Friday totally by accident. Walked by and a friend said "her clothes are amazing!" I looked at gorgeous fabric & clothes and I thought - very cool but won't work for my lawyer job & age. Well 4 hours later - I felt like I had my own professional stylist who understands women's bodies like no one but a seamstress would (who's been sewing her own clothes since age 8). The jackets are the bomb. Wow! I will post pic. This is not some celebrity place where you walk out feeling less than (I've never seen someone more empowering for women). I'm 5'10" & average/slim weight. She makes stuff for XL, XXL. I walked in wearing an Italian Piazza Sempione pantsuit looking like a "suit" ... & she found great stuff that made me look & feel like "Sexy Suzie" while classy & awesome fabrics from Italy. All made here in L.A.! Owner Ann was a Teamster and she's a good egg. Also I went with a new friend who I'm working on some political things with so we were on fire, talking nonstop & I'm surprised Ann's ears didn't bleed. But Ann was so cool & nice. Prices amazing. My husband LOVED the clothes. My teen boys loved them & they'd tell me the truth. So thanks Ann. 1st time shopper -- but I'll be longtime customer. What a gem!!

I was in town from New York and needed a special gown for an award ceremony starting within hours - Hoity Toity to the rescue! Ann was fabulous and offered the perfect gown and earrings for the night! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ann!! I am a forever fan!

I love this little place. I don't think I've ever seen new clothes like these - the jackets are beautifully done with ornate stitching and high-quality fabric - some of them tapestry-ish with raw edges and striped accents.... It's like, if you found a beautiful outfit from a 1940s movie and then re-styled it slightly to be a little more modern, then tailored it to fit you, and then the moment you put it on you look 10 pounds lighter, only better. =] There's a very feminine elegance with her pieces that's not too fancy to wear all the time, but also fancy enough to dress up with a couple of accessories for some special occasion. Ann helped me pick out a handmade vest that I can wear dressed professionally or throw on with a pair of jeans and it's a wardrobe accent that is sooo worth the money. I think unlike trendy fads that come and go, Hoity Toity produces fashions that will stay stylilsh for decades, and they are so well made they will last for decades. Cool place.

Hoity Toity is a beautiful shop and fun shopping experience! Designer/Owner Ann has her baby chock full of marvelous creations in fabulous colors and fabrics. Her designs are in styles I would generally describe as a funky-formal that anyone could work. Everything I tried on looked great! The location is fun, too - boutiques and eats abound! The dress I bought is an amazing summer pastel in a linen knit that drapes like it was made just for me. And it could have been! Ann will design and build to order! If you are shopping for something uniquely beautiful and expertly crafted, or you just want some fun shopping, Hoity Toity is perfect!

I am not a clothes shopper, so when I went to store after store trying to find a great outfit for my birthday I was very disappointed. I was about to give up when I walked into Hoity-Toity. The owner Ann Booth immediately picked up on my bad mood as asked me what was wrong. I told her my birthday party is tomorrow and I can't find anything I like. She smiled and said, "You have come to the right place". She was right. Ann picked out clothes for me that I would have never picked for myself. After I tried them on I couldn't believe how perfect they were for me and they all fit like a dream. I had the best time shopping with Ann. At my birthday party EVERYONE complimented my dress. I feel like a million bucks in Ann's designs. Everything I tried on was very comfortable and complimentary for my body type. I can't recommend this place enough.

Hoity Toity has several things going for it... it's located in a quint neighborhood in North Hollywood/Studio City (Moorpark & Tujunga) filled with boutiques, cafes, and small businesses which exactly resembles the small home-town artsy squares on the East Coast; it has a whimsical name, a cute cottage look, and a neat, charming store layout. Not to mention the store owner is VERY polite, all smiles, and immediately explains what she has to offer and her credentials when you walk in. HOWEVER, I was not at all impressed by the merchandise. First of all, I've heard this was a vintage store but it is not at all that. This is a DIY boutique targeting the working women within the 35-50 bracket. Perhaps that is why I wasn't "feeling it". Either way, even if I was older I wouldn't want to wear these pieces. Don't misunderstand, they appear to be of quality and soft fabrics; but they are boring and lack any eye-catching appeal. Not to mention there are much too over-priced due to being hand-made. (Note: Hoity Toity is currently running a 50% off sale at time of review). The store pulls you in with its name and aesthetic appeal but then just leaves you hanging and bummed out. I would suggest it for soaps, lotions, and cremes, as Hoity Toity offers a varied selection and with cute finds (ie. cupcake lip "frost" in cupcake containers). Perfect place for a little bath goodie to add to a gift bag. But if you are looking for special DIY or vintage clothing; Hoity Toity lacks. But again, maybe I just fall out of the target market. If that is true though, this boutique should perhaps re-think it's decor and presentation strategy because it is not attracting the correct age group.

Another great boutique with an owner (Ann) who is genuinely friendly and so creative! Ann designs her gorgeous clothing and presents her product in a well thought out, detailed atmosphere. She also sells fragrance, lotions, jewelry, home accents/furniture. Pretty much everything a gal needs. You always leave there feeling great. Check it! Located right beside the beautiful "Vintage-at-Heart" French style boutique.
