Mimi & Maggie

It takes a deft hand to combine rich bright tones with crocheted trim, floral appliqués, embroidery and even splashes of neon without the pieces looking like a traveling circus. Joanne Yamamoto at Mimi & Maggie manages the balancing act with garments such as the Bubbles in the Water one-piece and the Retro Hawaiian Band Crew T-shirt and Rainbow Trunks, from Thunder Monroe, her smaller and more subdued group for boys. (Mimi & Maggie: 7-14 years, $14-$41 wholesale. Thunder Monroe: 12 months to 4T). For more information, call 323-264-0200, or visit www.mimiandmaggie.com.
