Shopping Centers & Malls in West Hollywood, CA

“Y'know, Elton throws his annual post-Oscars party here. Not sure how my invitations get lost every year, but Jamie W. and I found ourselves strolling Melrose Avenue and facing this monolithic structure. Actually 'monolithic' is not the right word because the complex consists of three asymmetrical buildings in three colors - Blue (1975), Green (1988), and Red (2013).No surprise how cavernous it was. Designed by renowned architect Cesar Pelli (...he later designed the Salesforce Tower), it has a similarly austere feeling which amplifies the emptiness inside. It's not a retail shopping center, it's primarily a series of designer showrooms so you have to have a lot of ka-ching to be considered a serious consumer. We were just looking for the toilet.RELATED - Exploring LA? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: bit.ly/2TWT63v”

“Fold the disclosure. I only went here to see a movie. The stores were all closed. The windows are full of beautiful and interesting household items and appliances. I'm sure it's heaven for designers”

“Have you ever walked around LA and found yourself thinking “where do you even get an outfit like that??” It is very possible the answer is the Melrose Arts District (motion to shorten this to MAD “want to meet for coffee in the MAD”).Any aesthetic outside of the mainstream can be found here and often is still expensive AF. Secondhand Gucci strawberry jeans for $800? They got ‘em. Or if a blazer that was featured in a technicolor dream coat competition and didn’t win is more your style, it is also findable in one of many vintage clothing stores.There are TONS of cute finds and many quality coffee shops, dessert spots, pizza places, tattoo parlors, and barber shops. Even if you are not shopping, grab a coffee and walk the strip. There is a lot to see.Oh and there is a place for insta girlies to stand in front of graffiti wings to look hip.Parking is a super ok situation. Aka good luck.”
