Lauren helped me not hate swimsuit shopping and for that, I'm grateful. I found a flattering suit…read moreand I didn't have to do all the guesswork. How often do I buy a swimsuit? Not enough to know anything worth knowing. Lauren knows. It's worth going here. I fully endorse.

Before today, I'd never gone bikini shopping without it either ending in tears or regret (often…read moreboth.) Lauren greeted me the second I wandered into the shop and sized me up within seconds, accurately "guessing" my measurements. I explained what I was looking for, something cheeky yet high waisted. I've been looking online for that particular style for months on end with NO luck. She announced that she had JUST what I was looking for. I was skeptical but I waltzed into the dressing room with my two daughters and changed into everything Lauren brought me. As I put on each piece, she checked to adjust the fit and how I was wearing it so that it would be the most flattering to my body type. My confidence in my body never wavered, and I was actually having fun trying on bikinis! The best part, is that everything was on sale. So instead of buying one perfect swimsuit, I bought two at incredible value. I can't wait to go on our trip, now that I have two lovely swimsuits I adore. Thank you A MILLION, Lauren and Bromelia for being a place that actually cares about your customers and their experience.

Double Shaka is on Ocean Front Walk in Venice beach. It's a quaint little shop near the skate park…read moreand graffiti wall in Venice, CA. They carry board shorts for the men by Rip Curl and O'neil. The board shorts sit low on the waist and are ideal for showing off that cut look you got by doing 8-minute abs to show off at the beach during the endless California summer. The main focus though is bikini sets. From what I can tell they have everything from cutting edge fashion to tame (well as tame as a sexy bikini can be ;) to the bikini made famous by Rihanna: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/0n4hwhm48az3DpOfv7oB1A?select=kaVxNVMc0Ba_DK_aRTVb_Q#ttySH9AELwXvK82lSA3ZbQ You can mix and match sizes and colors and sets are starting at $29.99. Bikini brands that they carry are: Vitamin A, Jelly Swimwear, L*Space, Rip Curl, Reef, Chica Rica, Hurley, Roxy, Hustler and Acacia, Get in here, pick up a bikini and get out on the beach!!!

But, my +1 cannot resist this boutique and always takes home pieces that are destined to become favorites. She gets complements and the inevitable "where did you get that" inquiries.

My favorite clothing store on Abbot Kinney…read more Ananda is one of the first stops on our list when my friends and I are in the area. This small boutique specializes in female clothing, accessories, and fun knick knacks. I purchased my favorite corduroy pants here, as well as a few tops/dresses. I love that every item is unique and you won't find it copy/pasted across the Venice boardwalk. It's also a great place to search for the perfect gift. I found a dainty gemini necklace for one of my best friends and she's worn it non-stop for months. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! While the items aren't cheap, they're definitely more affordable than the majority of Abbot Kinney shops.

Times have changed. I walked in and the blonde salesperson looked at me and looked away. Didn't bother to say a word. No one else was in the store so it's not like she was helping people. If this is how it's going to be with the locals I'm not sure it will be another store that can survive on Main.
