Los Angeles has more stores than anyone could physically tackle, but somehow we always keep returning to the usual suspects. To break out of the rut, we've asked some local shopping and fashion gurus to provide their hidden retail gems—those unique stores around LA that we might not all know about. Cue the Beatles: We're about to get a little help from our friends.

Celebrity trainer Grace Lazenby has helped ladies like Amy Adams, Nikki Reed, Amanda Pete, Robin Wright and Carrie Underwood transform their bodies thanks to her Rockin Model workout DVD and sessions while her pumped up classes at Equinox West Hollywood and Santa Monica were featured in VOGUE as 2012's "Best Cult Fitness Workout in LA." Here, she tells us about her favorite place to shop on Robertson Boulevard.
My secret beauty hideaway is Evolue on Robertson. Having the right beauty products in my gym bag are key—this Rockin Model wants to look her best at all times. They carry my all-time favorite fragrance Taken by Jane Brooke. This sultry vanilla scent travels with me everywhere. The roll on is perfect to have in your purse to quickly freshen up after a workout. I have never been able to find it any where except Evolue. I also love trying out their new makeup and skincare products, especially since everything is eco-friendly. I am addicted to Arcona products and they can only be found at a couple of spots here in LA. The last but certainly not least product (that I cant believe I am giving away) is the Evolue Must Have Serum for Anti-Aging—it literally sells out within a week of hitting the shelves and it is only available at Evolue!
