Abbott Kinney, Venice CA

One of my favorite neighborhoods of LA is Venice;  it’s eclectic, beachy, has diverse restaurants, street performers, eccentric people and an unpretentious vibe.   I would describe it as Jackson Square, New Orleans meets South Beach, Miami.  The style of vintage shopping here runs the gamut of thrift-hippie to rock ‘n roll or if you choose to stroll up the fashion-forward Abbott Kinney, you will most likely have some sartorial encounters, as the street is famously known for its high meets low style.
