Diavolina
Shoe lovers across the city are rejoicing over Diavolina's digs on Robertson Boulevard. Though the gleaming footwear boutique looks nothing like its former location on La Brea Avenue, you'll still be able to find its justly famous selection of shoes by Costume National, Marc Jacobs, Chloé, and Proenza Schouler. Also find cutting-edge clothing from Kelly Bergin, Mayle, and Mara Hoffman.

Dolce Vita
The well-priced, runway-inspired footwear is the main draw here, with everything from ankle boots to sky-high platform shoes. Just as impressive is the tightly edited selection of downtown-edgy looks by hard-to-find lines such as United Bamboo, Réyes, Alex Gaines, and McGuinn.

Fred Segal
We could easily buy our entire wardrobes here. Everything from limited edition Nike Dunks to Matthew Williamson sequin-lace tops to Ligne St. Barth After-Sun lotions is all arranged in individual fun-to-shop mini boutiques. Each store location has its own vibe: The store on Melrose is more compact and high-energy, while the Santa Monica spot is sprawling, easygoing, and by-the-beach cool.
