LA Shopping, USA
Airing Date: Mar 10th, 2007
People head to LA for two big reasons; theme parks and shopping. One of the ritziest spots to shop is
Beverly Hills. When in Beverly Hills you can shop like the rich and famous!
To get you started a good secret is free valet parking for 2 hours at the
Two Rodeo Centre. While here you must visit the very the Hollywood institution of
Gearys, it is where the rich and famous by their most glamorous jewellery. When the curtains are drawn it means that the shop is closed for a Hollywood star!
On Rodeo Drive you'll find
Brooks Brothers. They have been around since 1818 and their suits have been worn by former American presidents including Kennedy. You can get a Brooks Brothers suit from around $1000 Australian Dollars, which is reasonable for a shop on Rodeo Drive.
If you are looking for something cheaper it's best to investigate the side streets and pick yourself up a little piece of Beverley Hills for under $100. Try
Tashen book store for some star spotting, Tashen has been visited by Jennifer Lopez, Johnny Depp and Hugh Hefner! After a day of shopping put your feet up at the Raffles L'Ermitage, it's very luxurious and it's even pet friendly!
For a more budget friendly LA shopping experience, hop on a shopper shuttle and it will show the best bargains in Hollywood! The girls from
Shopper Shuttle, or
Sherpa's as they like to be called are Celia, Camille and Sandra. The company actually grew from their passion for shopping and from sharing that passion with friends, families and clients.
Camille and Sandra would need to travel a lot for work and often found themselves in unfamiliar cities and uncertain about where to shop or how to get there safely. By offering a basic shopping route as well as special shopping excursions, Shopper Shuttle serves international tourists, frequent visitors to the city, and Los Angeles-based shoppers alike.
Shoppers can take a shuttle to do their weekly shopping and run errands, with destinations on the basic route such as

Sephora, local malls and grocery stores. Special shopping excursions are scheduled for sample sales, boutiques, and seasonal shopping events such as the
