Wicker Park’s newest women’s boutique Moon Voyage (2010 W. Pierce Ave., 773-423-8853, shopmoonvoyage.com) debuts tomorrow, in a prime Six Corners location a stone’s throw from both The Violet Hour and Big Star.

Owner Susie Lee says she aims for a mix of carefree Los Angeles attitude and New York City edginess in the shop’s collection of clothing, accessories, specialty lingerie, apothecary, and home goods. Moon Voyage carries more than 40 brands, including French label American Retro (americanretro.fr), U.K. brand Lazy Oaf (lazyoaf.co.uk), NYC-based Courtshop (courtshop.com), and Otis & Maclain (otisandmaclain.com) out of Los Angeles. Fans of Free People will dig the vibe.
