Best Shopping Deals in LA. Best Los Angeles Flea Markets and Thrift Shops. Where to Shop ... and Window Shop... Just for the Sheer Entertainment Value There are SO many wonderful places to shop in Los Angeles... many of them beyond the means of ordinary people... but it's fun to dream.... and window shop anyway. We've chosen just a small of the types of stores and shopping areas that are memorable... and are a real treat whether you have a few bucks to spend or not.
Decades"...the international hotspot for vintage couture and accoutrements from the 1960s and ‘70s. Since 1997, Decades has been a popular boutique in Los Angeles, CA for such quintessentially chic names of fashion, as Rudi Gernreich, Emilio Pucci, Ossie Clark, and Giorgio di S’ant Angelo... Whether your ideal fashion idol is Audrey Hepburn or Peggy Moffitt; James Bond or Jim Morrisson, Decades is home to the designers and styles that dressed these sartorial icons.... A variable who’s who of stylish celebrities have been spotted at Decades. The press continues to acknowledge the success of Decades throughout the global media.... " 8214-1/2 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles
Plastica ".... A boutique filled with unique items from around the world as well as products by local designers. Although most of the merchandise is literally plastic, we feature items made out of any number of different materials.... Plastica offers a mix of special one of a kind items and practical functional everyday items. Accessories, housewares, gifts, kids toys, office accessories are all carefully curated and displayed in this small boutique now located in West Hollywood...." Rodeo Drive "...The stretch of shops and boutiques on Rodeo Drive is only three blocks long. It begins at Wilshire Boulevard on the south, and runs north to Santa Monica Boulevard... But those three short blocks constitute the most famous shopping district in America, and probably the most expensive three blocks of shops in the world. It is here that the rich & famous do their shopping, and where tourists window-shop while trying to spot movie stars on the fabled street.... The most celebrated clothing designers in the world have boutiques here: Armani, Gucci, Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Valentino... The jewelry stores boast names like Cartier and Tiffany. Other nearby stores include I. Magnin, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Yves Saint Laurent, & Pierre Deux. In fact, Rodeo Drive is home to the single most expensive store in the world: Bijan (at 420 Rodeo Drive).... On a typical visit, Bijan's average customer spends in the neighborhood of $100,000 on men's fashions, which range from a $50 pair of socks to $15,000 suits... Essentially a small outdoor mall, "Two Rodeo" manages to create the illusion of freestanding storefronts.... There is a sidewalk café, two pricey restaurants, and tenants such as Tiffany, Cartier, Charles Jourdan, Valentino, Christian Dior, and Jose Eber.... Hollywood.com reports spotting a happy Leonardo DiCaprio shopping there last Christmas, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, goatee, longer hair and carrying a large Tiffany & Co. shopping bag. Other stars they spotted in the same season included Britney Spears, Calista Flockhart, Warren Beatty, Val Kilmer, Danny DeVito, Don Johnson, Rod Stewart and Gregory Peck....." For more fascinating Rodeo Drive lore, see the rest of the "Seeing Stars" article. According to an article in the LA Times "...For years, Rodeo Drive, the famously intimidating Beverly Hills shopping area, has been steadily and deliberately changing its vibe, welcoming a growing contingent of ordinary shops and even requiring "sensitivity training" for sales clerks at luxury emporiums. Last year's $18-million makeover changed the look of the place to become less billionaire's boulevard, more suburban shopping mall..." Where the Stars Shop "A guide to those special places where Hollywood stars go to shop. And you can too!"
