In LA, shopping’s somewhere between a sport and a religion.  With its mega malls and chic boutiques, these sweet spots beckon you to join in on the fun.

Beverly Hills / West Hollywood
What better place to begin than the Rodeo Drive?  You’ll find all that’s elegant and sophisticated.  Cartier.  Christian Dior.  Gucci.  Prada.  Luxury brands, equally luxurious prices.  A mile down the road on La Cienega Boulevard is Beverly Center, a six-story shopping mall extravaganza boasting 150 stores. From Karen Miller and Dior to Diesel and Hugo Boss. This is it. And since you’re in the neighborhood, drop by Robertson Boulevard. Trendy Angelenos frequent this strip for boutiques like Ghost, Paige Premium Denim and Lisa Kline.

Hollywood
Shops along colorful Melrose Avenue have a little something for everyone.  Pricier establishments sit near La Cienega – you might even catch Hillary Duff at Fred Segal.  Head further east and you’ll find the funkier boutiques, like the too-good-to-miss vintage store Wasteland.  And there’s always the mall on Hollywood and Highland.  This favorite tourist attraction has floors filled with the best choices in shopping, dining and entertainment. 

Santa Monica / The West Side
Abbot Kinney Boulevard sees mostly locals and a few super savvy tourists.  Stores here range from the Far Eastern-inspired Ananda to hip antiques at Bazar and the delightful Jin Patisserie.  Then there’s Third Street Promenade.  200 shops.  A fabulous Farmer’s Market.  And a breezy outdoor setting just blocks from the beach.  Plus you’ll get serious deals on furniture, flowers and more at HD Buttercup on Helms Avenue. And for designer clothes 40 – 80% below retail, don’t miss Find Outlet.

Downtown
For the best prices and most eclectic collection of apparel, accessories, textiles and flowers, check out the LA Fashion District.  Conveniently located between Main Street and San Pedro Street on Olympic Boulevard, the LA Fashion District is a bargain hunter’s paradise. You’ll find 1,000 stores that sell to the general public at amazingly discounted prices.

The Valley / The East Side
Cruising the Valley?  The action’s along winding Ventura Boulevard. For women’s sizes 12+, check out Abundance just east of Woodman Avenue.  Comfortable business.  Funky casual.  Special occasion.  Abundance has it all.  For the famous Valley mall scene, head on over to the Glendale Galleria. From the Gap to Mac to Bailey, Banks & Biddle – you’ll discover what your heart desires within the Galleria’s 250 shops and eateries.
And for small-town charm in the midst of the fast-paced LA lifestyle, spend an afternoon strolling the streets of Old Town Pasadena.  This tree-lined neighborhood holds a treasure trove of galleries, chocolate shops, sidewalk vendors and restaurants.  Not to mention a weekly car show.  

Whatever your style, LA fits it.  We know how to shop.  And we love it.  Isn’t it time you create your very own LA shopping ritual?
