shop trot: los angeles

Third Street in Los Angeles, nestled between Hollywood and Beverly Hills, is a super-cool enclave of hot indie fashion boutiques. Fashion stylists deem it the best four-block shopping strip in L.A.. Here, take our tour:

Filly, 8032 W. Third St., 323-653-7200, www.fillyfilly.com

At this new shop, find lovely hand-knit sweater vests, ironic tacky-tourist sweatshirts with brush-painted wolves, and a back room awash in German orthopedic-chic sandals.

Satine, 8117 W. Third St., 323-655-2142, www.satineboutique.com

The faded sign is no indication of the luxe Lanvin belts and Zac Posen dresses inside. Ca$hmere skull sweaters, girly pieces from See by Chloe and Vanessa Bruno, and the season’s must-have grey Acne jeans round out the mix.

Hillary Rush, 8222 W. Third St., 323-852-0088, www.hillaryrush.com

People from all over the country mail order from this shop that always has the most-coveted items, such as the elephant bracelet and designer Tara Subkoff’s impossible-to-get patent wedges for Easy Spirit.

Milk, 8209 W. Third St., 323-951-0330.  Themed tables (equestrian, the new British dandy) mix vintage books (like the history of Courrèges) and new shoes and clothes from Derek Lam, Development, Daryl K, and that’s just the ds.

Pip-squeak, 8213 W. Third St., 323-653-3250, www.pipsqueakinla.com

Ever wonder what socialite Lucy Sykes’ silk baby blouses look like? Find them here (gorgeous) amongst baby Cacharel, Egg Press cards and the lovely French Petit Bâteau.

Toast, 8221 W. Third St., 323-655-5018.

Finally, a place to sit over a salade composé, decompress, and watch the beautiful people trot by.
