Topshop and Cheap Manis: The Top 11 Racked LA Posts of 2012

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Takeaway from the list of Racked LA's most popular posts of the year: Angelenos really care about reality TV stars (even if we don't like to admit it), cute kids are always a hit—as is the American Apparel warehouse sale—and local shoppers are really, really primed for Topshop. Excluding our very popular hottest trainers contest, and without further ado, here are the most-trafficked posts of the past year.
