They just redid the area to include some cool higher end stores like AllSaints, Burberry, etc to their usual gamut of stores like Miss Sixty, Diesel, and Zara. It's also a fun place because of all the street performers, and there are plenty of parking garages.<br /> <a href="http://www.santamonica.com/visitors/what-to-do/shopping/downtown/" rel="nofollow">http://www.santamonica.com/vis...../downtown/</a></p> <p>The Beverly Center is also close to you, and they have stores like Fendi, Prada, D&amp;G as well as less expensive fun ones that you don't find everywhere in the US like Superdry UK. They also have a supergigantic Forever XXI, and there is a pretty impressive Loehmann's adjacent.<br /> <a href="http://www.beverlycenter.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.beverlycenter.com/</a></p> <p>I personally don't love South Coast... haven't been there in a couple of years, but it seemed like miles and miles of stuff I could never afford... not enough variety for me, though I don't know what your budget is. </p> <p>For funkier/quirkier stuff, you might try the Melrose strip, which has upscale vintage, a pretty darn good Crossroads (new and used merch), and boutiques.<br /> <a href="http://www.latourist.com/index.php?page=melrose-avenue" rel="nofollow">http://www.latourist.com/index.....ose-avenue</a></p> <p>Don't waste your time with the Westside Pavillion, Century City mall, Fox Hills mall. They are the closest to you, but there's nothing special in there. If you need to stay close to Culver City for whatever reason, you'd be better off at the Culver City TJ Maxx, which is not any kind of "vacation" experience, but usually has a good selection. I don't recommend Beverly Hills, either, as the parking and traffic is a nightmare, and the stores don't seem all that stand-out for the prices they charge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-shopping-recommendations#post-373009 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:20:47 +0000 MsMary 373009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're going to Orange County you should hit South Coast Plaza -- HUGE mall with tons of super-high-end retailers as well as all (and I do mean ALL) the usual suspects. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-shopping-recommendations#post-373005 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:16:46 +0000 Angie 373005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I' not sure but perhaps Tara, Rae, MaryK and Desmo April can chime in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-shopping-recommendations#post-372835 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 21:25:28 +0000 Jyoti 372835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am finally done with my renal course and can now move on to more interesting things-- like shopping in LA! My flight leaves tomorrow, and I'm itching to explore the shops. Anyone have any recommendations for stores, mall, boutiques, shopping areas, etc. to hit up?</p> <p>I will have access to a car. I'll be staying mostly in Culver City or Burbank and will be hanging around the Brentwood, Woodland Hills and Redondo Beach areas as well. I'll probably be going down to the OC at some point well. Although I am willing to drive a bit as well!</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
