By Cecily Hastings   When you think of contemporary boutiques like Fred Segal on Melrose, Scoop NYC or Planet Blue in Malibu, they’re all world class, unique, fashionable—and distant from Sacramento. But now there’s Serendipity Boutique in the heart of East Sacramento. When you’re ready to update and "contemporize" your wardrobe or just need to find a special gift, step into Serendipity for fashion finds and unique gift discoveries. Owner Barbara Lym Wong has a collection of newsstand worthy jewelry, clothing and accessories, regularly featured in Lucky and In Style magazines. It’s only here that you'll find Los Angeles jewelry designer Chan Luu, the ever popular Ugg Australia Boots and handbags, and such designer staples as BCBG, Trina Turk, Sweet Pea, Theory suiting and sportswear, and Anthropologie's Free People sweaters and tops.

Cameron Diaz's most recent fav is Allison Burns' gold metallic hobostyle shoulder bag, and Serendipity has it, as well as Not Rational's sub cargo utility bag with pockets everywhere and the very sensible but chic metallic leather diaper bag. All the hot labels for designer jeans can be found in this one great location from mid- to low-rise, in a variety of washes from Notify, James, Citizens of Humanity, Paper Denim & Cloth, Lucky Brand and Red Engine. Introducing exclusively in January —Paige Premium Denim—Paige, incidentally, was the fit model for: Seven, Citizens of Humanity, and many others, so the 'fit' will be fabulous, and the Serendipity Girls will help you put it all together. You'll want it all, but remember: "It’s better to give …"so, give Serendipity gift certi• cates, and you'll receive many thanks. Stop by Serendipity at 5362 H Street in East Sacramento.
