Wendy Smith has owned a thriving business (BlingityBling sells blinged-out boots, Converse and custom team apparel.) with a storefront on Avenue Stanford for 8 years - but it wasn't until she decided to buy an 18-by-20-foot truck and load it with easy-breezy beach styles that she was able to take it on the road.

Let's Hang Owner Wendy Smith's portable boutique is gorgeously appointed with reclaimed wood and a full-size dressing room inside. Let's Hang's selection is flirty and fun, featuring brands like Love Stitch, Victoria Emerson bracelets and Angie. In addition to beautiful, breezy beach-loving clothing, Let's Hang's So Cal style can be found in the company's collections of home decor, jewelry, handbags, totes, clutches, scarves and more.
"I saw someone with a truck filled with clothing and I fell in love. I realized that I could make it an instant party if I designed it in a way that made it fun and easy to shop," says Smith. "I feel like there's a demand for it here. Before I started my mobile Let's Hang Boutique, I always shopped in Ventura. I could get three or four things for a hundred bucks that was more my style than what I could find in Santa Clarita."

Let's Hang's on-trend selections reflect Smith's aesthetic. "Everything's casual, comfortable and cute! Ruffled skirts, BoHo styles, denim with lace, beachy tanks, linen pants, feminine blouses... women love how they look - we have a dressing room on the truck - and they also love how far their dollar stretches. Because I don't have a traditional pricey storefront, I don't have to mark up so much; our prices run from about $20 to $50."

Or, your clothes could be totally free. "Hostesses can bring Let's Hang to their driveways, totally for free. They invite their friends over, put out some yummy drinks and appetizers, ladies who want to can shop - and the hostess gets 10 percent of the sales back in free clothes," says Smith. "It's a win/win/win for everyone involved. Plus, it's a great excuse to get together! Women need to do more of that!"
