Loved strolling through Melrose on a sunny afternoon. The shops had some very creative, unique and custom clothing. If I were a budding rock star, I know where I would shop. Vintage shops were fun to explore. And all the merchants were very friendly, even though I didn't look like I was buying that $1800 studded jacket.…

Lots of cool vintage shops, reasonably priced too! Lots of other shops to explore selling jewellery, clothes, gifts etc. Very artistic and upbeat vibe with awesome graffiti to check out along the way.

One man had an installation of objects that were not for sale, just to walk-through. I chatted with one lady who was a costume designer in the 1960s, selling prints and stationery of her illustrations. I also got some nice handmade soaps.…

Melrose an an exciting place to walk, shop, and dine/drink. You can always find something to do. As a LA resident, Melrose is one of my favorite shopping destinations, especially for men’s shoes. My favorite is Tony K. Tony is enthusiastic and lovable. I come at least twice a year to purchase shoes with him. He always has the finest Italian trendy shoes. He also carries women styles. The other shops also have unique and eclectic items, something for everyone. People watching is among my favorite this to do on Melrose. If you pay close enough you may even spot a celebrity or two. …
