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.
LA style guru and blogger extraordinaire Chriselle Lim is known for her super-popular blog The Chriselle Factor and fashion-focused YouTube channel. The social media pro and NYFW regular has made her mark in the fashion world working with a slew of big name brands like Tiffany & Co., Tadashi Shoji and Victoria's Secret, to name a few. When she's not out trotting the globe, Lim shops her fav labels at this luxe boutique, which she crowns as the best in LA.
I've been a loyal customer of Satine Boutique for the past five years. Not only do they have the hottest pieces from IT brands—think Isabel Marant, Thakoon, Vanessa Bruno and Stella McCartney—but they also break in local emerging designers. What I love most about Satine is that they keep it fresh and keep you on your toes with their incredible selection. I also love the quirky and playful spin they bring with modern luxury. Satine is easily the best boutique in LA.
