Venice - Los Angeles Hotels .com

Abbot Kinney Boulevard is the place to head in Venice for stores that accommodate shoppers along the entire range of the price continuum, from high-brow fashionistas scouting new styles and designers, to spoon art and bongs made out of beer cans.

Shoppers in the former category might want to head to Principessa (1323 Abbot Kinney Blvd.) or to Heist (1316-1/2 Abbot Kinney Blvd)., where they'll find high-quality (though expensive) basics and a well-curated collection of casual and evening attire by hip designers such as Isabel Marant, Malene Birger, and Nicholas K.

For those looking for the unique, offbeat, and humble -- cheap sunglasses, for instance -- head to the Venice boardwalk, where you'll find an abundance of beachwear, T-shirts, and inexpensive and interesting import items -- Thai silk pants/skirt combinations, cloth handbags from Pakistan -- that, along with the abundance of people-watching, can easily consume an entire day.
