American Rag
Most of this cavernous former car showroom hosts the mix of clothing for which American Rag became famous more than two decades ago (plum vintage alongside established labels like Helmut Lang). Its housewares wing, Maison Midi, brims with Provençal-inspired glasses and pillows, while a 2006 addition, the World Denim Bar, offers a hugely expansive array of jean lines.

Barneys Co-op
The slightly younger and more affordable companion to Barneys is also more boutique-like: Expect a supremely well-curated array of picks from labels like Daryl K and Alexander Wang. The Grove location is the largest and edgiest of the three area Co-ops.

Benefit
Despite the fact that it's a chain, this extremely well-conceived beauty resource fits right in on independent-boutique-laden Third Street, which makes this location our favorite, even though the Santa Monica spot is bigger.

Calleen Cordero
Calleen Cordero's line is handmade in North Hollywood, which explains the bohemian feel of her accessories, all fittingly displayed in this simple and earthy shop. The soles of her shoes are made from elder wood, and the tops are crafted from vegetable-tanned leather, though there are touches of high-wattage glamour, like wedges in glimmery metallics.

Des Kohan
As a former trend caster for companies including Louis Vuitton and Prada, Desiree Kohan has an impeccable eye for exquisitely tailored but interesting pieces—in sizes up to 16—from names like Hussein Chalayan and Juan Carlos Obando. It's all deftly mixed with evening bags, vintage Chanel jewelry, and paper-thin Splendid tees in custom-dyed shades.

Flight 001
Flight 001 was one of the first companies to take on travel accessories in a uniquely modern and stylish way, as evidenced by its stores, which are usually set up to resemble the interiors of planes. There are a slew of innovative and fun products: travel Scrabble games and preassembled toiletry kits in TSA-approved sizes, plus tons of luggage, like Orla Kiely suitcases and expandable totes.

H&M
It's a bit of a toss-up when it comes to picking our favorite Los Angeles H&M (there are now three). The Beverly Center store is the largest, at 20,000 square feet, but the one in Pasadena is quieter, and the racks are accordingly less picked-over—all the better for snatching up pieces from this constantly on-trend retailer.
