"The West Hollywood stretch of Melrose Avenue is my favorite place to shop because of its contemporary offerings: Toteme, Redone, Vivienne Westwood,and Ulla Johnson are just some of the stores you'll find on the street. (If we’re making New York comparisons, think about it as the Soho of Los Angeles whereas Rodeo Drive is the Fifth Avenue.) There are also a lot of great interior design stores, from a Soho Home to Ken Fulk’s first brick-and-mortar shop." —Elise Taylor"
