House of Love and Luck Los Angeles

At this oasis of handpicked on-trend and eternally chic costume jewelry ranging from the early 1900s to the wacky 1980s, most customers walk out happily and snazzily accessorized for under $100. Fetching designer pieces top off around $400. (Sure, you’ll fall for one of those. That would be just your luck.)

Douglas Fir Los Angeles

Simple, elegant, austere, cool — just like a Douglas Fir. The men’s shop is a breath of fresh air amid the smog of garish tees and frosted tips.

Madison Los Angeles

All dressed up and nowhere to go? You must be in the dressing room at Madison. Though there are several outposts throughout L.A. (including a designer boutique in Malibu), the West Hollywood location stocks the freshest finds from young, local talent and more established arbiters of style, too.
