If you know me, it is
no secret that I am absolutely in love with this city. In fact, on a worldwide scale of cities I
have been fortunate enough to visit, LA takes a backseat only to my no. 1-
Paris, but is still ahead of San Francisco, Beijing, and London. LA is wonderful in part for the same
reason as any of these cities: endless resources and culture right at your
fingertips. It falls in line that the shopping is amazing here!
One of my fave
shopping spots here is Westfield
Topanga. This is up in the Valley,
Woodland Hills. Although I love
Hollywood too, the Valley is not exactly the 7th ring of hell as Ari
Gold would often describe it to be. It’s
actually got some amazing restaurants and shopping. And you don’t have to worry about parking!

It's a massive space filled with high to low end and everywhere in between. My personal faves- H&M, Zara, Burberry,
BCBG, Marciano, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus. There is also a macaroon kiosk
that serves up my most sought-after French dessert in the world!
The boutiques on
Melrose- Lots and lots of cute, reasonably priced boutiques that usually
contain unique items. There’s the high
end shops in between too. I love popping
into Alexander McQueen and looking at the amazing clothing artwork, or going
across the street and perusing Marc Jacobs, and also the more affordable but
still cute off brand, MARC by Marc Jacobs. Fun bonus: a great little bar is just around
the corner, on La Cienaga called the Roger Room.
Beverly Center- WAY more built for actual shopping than the nearby Grove. Even the
Wet Seal looks upscale inside the Bev Center.
Lots of variety just like the Westfield Topanga.
Third Street
Promenade- Santa Monica. This recently
renovated space has two of my faves: AllSaints and Ever. Really pretty, open air space a stone's throw from the beach:
