Check out these shops in SoCal.

Before coming to Southern California, I told myself I wouldn't be doing much shopping because I thought it would be far too expensive for a simple Coloradan girl. Wrong. I found multiple places with great deals. Small, one-of-a-kind places taking after Forever 21 can be found all over LA with the latest clothing styles. But clothes aren't all. I've stumbled across a few other great stores that are quite a find for someone from out of state!

Melrose Vintage is a vintage clothing joint complete with a plethora of plaid shirts and peacoats.





Trader Joe's was probably one of my favorite discoveries. Not so much a discovery for those who have lived in California for a while, but I just can't get over how awesome this place is!







Lovell's is a genuine record store complete with used CD's, DVD's, posters, and, of course, records.



I'm loving discovering these awesome shops out here in Cali. Can't wait for the next adventure!
