Visitors from the west reminded me how much I miss the shopping of Los Angeles. Rodeo, Melrose, La brea, and Robertson are only a start to all the goodies you will find in this massive town. Providing a mixture of well known designers and the next in up and coming labels and brands, there is something for everyone. With all the clothes in this city, it’s no wonder celebrities always look so good.
