California

West Hollywood is one of those places where everything is more friendly, fashionable and bright. There’s a hustle and bustle on the streets. Yet, because of the relaxed nature of the people here, this doesn’t leave you feeling overwhelmed, but makes you excited for the possibilities that lay ahead.

Shopping in West Hollywood

West Hollywood offers a wide range of shops to suit any person on any kind of budget, from trendy vintage shops to high-end boutiques. There’s nothing you could want that you can’t find here, and it’s all located within a walk-able distance. Within minutes, you can shop the vintage and second-hand stores on Melrose Avenue and peruse designer clothing along Robertson Boulevard.

I find myself smiling at the colour and cleanliness of the buildings and roads, something the stylish residents obviously take pride in and which very few cities manage with the same amount of attention to detail and flair.
