Kat Hernandez (right in photo), 27, assistant manager at Current boutique Cher Miller, 30, manager at Current What they’re wearing: Kat: Dress from Forever 21, vintage booties and sunglasses, and an Italian bag from her mom. Cher: Silence & Noise dress, Gap bag, Ray Bans, and shoes from Current. Tell me about your style. Kat: “I like to wear black but punch it up with a really bright color that’s unexpected. And always heavy, tough accessories.” Cher: “I run the gamut from goth to semi-hipster. I like prints, textures, colors. I have these goat-head stud earrings that I wear all of the time. This dress is one of my favorite things in my closet right now—I gotta wear it a couple of more times before it gets cold.” Working together, do you find that you have similar tastes in terms of style? Kat: “I think we’re very similar in that we’re a little rock ’n’ roll. It’s about the balance between masculine and feminine.”
Any wardrobe signatures? Kat: “My motorcycle boots, hands down. I’ll wear them in 90-degree weather!” Cher: “She has a pair of shoes for every day of the week—every day of the month!”
Who does your hair, Cher? “I do my own hair. I like to air-dry it and use a little hairspray for texture. Like I had a good night in bed.” Kat: “It’s not only an outfit, but it’s a head-to-toe look—you have to think about your hair, your makeup, accessories, bag, everything.”
Rachel says: I’ll always like the flowered-dress-with-boots combo. These outfits will continue to work into fall with tights and snug cardigans. Some great news for Current boutique fans: The second location opens November in Old Town!

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.
