Shopping at the best stores in Paris, Milan, and New York is pretty glamorous, but nowhere will you find glitziest and more alluring shopping meccas than in L.A.

Shopping in Los Angeles Start in Beverly Hills and stroll down famous Rodeo Drive where you can browse or window-shop even if what you're looking at is out of your price range.

From there you can move on to Robertson Boulevard or Third Street for the trendiest boutiques in town, and end at The Grove, finally housing the brands most of us can afford.

In between it all, look for and perhaps fall into temptation and get a special designer item to take back home at one of the city's major design destinations.

Rodeo Drive, Shopping in Los Angeles RODEO DRIVE
This world-famous shopping street is the glitziest in L.A., housing the shops of the world's top designers.

It's located next to the Farmer's Market and is home to many of the names you'll find at shopping malls, including Abercrombie & Fitch and Banana Republic. A free trolley runs through the area, adding to the look and feel from earlier times.
