Style Cabana

If your plans include a day or two of shopping in Los Angeles, a must-see destination is The Grove LA. The Grove is a quintessential Southern California shopping and lifestyle destination exuding hip style, delightful ambiance and alluring character. Located directly across the street from the famous longstanding Los Angeles Farmers Market, The Grove LA is outdoor boutique style shopping at its best. Upon first impression, The Grove LA resembles a chic European capital-with cobbled lanes, sidewalk cafes, and even a towering sculpture of two angels reaching heavenward. Further adding to its unique euro-charm is the presence of a fully operable 1950s era double decker streetcar that ambles back and forth along the quarter mile track between The Grove LA and the Farmers Market. The pleasant-yet-short ride is free and is a smart way to plot your shopping game plan.

Though The Grove is not the largest mall in L.A. (it is just shy of 50 boutiques), what it lacks in quantity is made up tenfold in quality. Though there are no designer labels in the lineup, everyone’s favorite national chains make an appearance and every store boasts ample square footage and wide selection. Looking for men’s and women’s apparel? J. Crew (First Street) offers clothing, shoes and accessories in spades, Arden B (First Street) proffers Parisian-chic women’s clothing, Barney’s New York CO-OP (Bow Street) sells the most sought after brand names, and a sizeable Nordstrom (First Street) will provide anything that could not be acquired at the smaller clothiers. Kiehl’s (Valet Circle), and Fresh (Adjacent to Nordstrom) will satisfy your indulgence for luxurious beauty and personal care products. Anthropologie (First Street), Crate and Barrel (Next to Nordstrom), and Pottery Barn Kids (First Street) will take care of the home items on your Los Angeles shopping list.

After your retail therapy is complete, causing your credit card to have gone all warm and melty, stop by the dancing fountain on your way back to the parking garage. Every 30 minutes, the fountain springs to life sending streams of water up to 60 feet high to the crooning tunes of Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., and other musical greats.

The Grove Los Angeles. One of the best places to go shopping in LA!
