Thanks to celebrity nosh spot The Ivy and Hollywood's glorified gift shop Kitson, the strip of Robertson Boulevard between Third Street and Beverly has become prime real estate for shops that appeal to both the trend-hungry and the fashion-forward. Full of $80 T-shirts and discounted Prada, the street caters to stars and those who want to shell out to dress like them. —Enid Portuguez 
 California CasualPremium is the word to describe the quality of tees, denim, casual wear and celebrity sightings at these popular shops.
1.
KitsonThis LA version of the general store is known for kitschy gifts, T-shirts with clever messages and celebutante clientele like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, who head there before (or after) lunch at The Ivy.
2.
Lisa KlineWhen beautiful, skinny women find the ultimate object of desire, they pounce and things get ugly. It's true on "The Bachelor" and it's true when the latest denim arrives at this boutique.
3.
Alice + OliviaAlice + Olivia's pants and knits are already a staple among the Hamptons jet set, so a shop for LA's glitterati seems the logical next step.
4.
AG Adriano GoldschmiedAngelenos live and die for designer denim, so AG Adriano Goldschmied's first store on Robertson seems logical.
5.
Tory BurchThe New York socialite-turned-designer Tory Burch makes her mark in the relaxed California fashion scene with comfortable, sexy sportswear.
Dress to ImpressGot a special occasion? Chances are there's a dress and accessories to fit any type of event at these hip spots for feminine frocks.

VionnetEnough with the T-shirts and jeans already. Vionnet's walk-in boudoir of all things pretty, precious and playful makes one feel like a lady again.
2.
Les HabitudesWould-be Cinderellas find bountiful ballgowns at this elite spot; silk shoes and shawls round out the ensemble. Even those who aren't buying drop in to luxuriate in a fantasy that's as much 19th-century Europe as 21st-century LA.
3.
HornThe racks are stocked with the trendy likes of Blumarine, Plein Sud and Rebecca Beeson, but store owner Suzanne Zenker also imports lesser-known European designers for women who don't want to look like a Cameron Diaz doppelganger.
For the BoysAfter all, we live in a city where the pretty guys are often more high-maintenance than the pretty girls.
1.
Lisa Kline MenIf you think a man's closet only consists of shirts, jeans and jackets, then you're right. But Lisa Kline Men offers enough of a variety that'll keep the combo exciting.
2.
Ted BakerDesigner Ray Kelvin opened his first Ted Baker store on the Queen's birthday. The British-themed boutique showcases the brand's blue-ribbon best.
3.
WeSCFounded by avid skateboarders and snowboarders in 2000, WeSC established itself as a righteous place to shop in more than 15 countries before ever making its way stateside. For the moment, the only line it carries is its own.
What's in a (Designer) Name?These shops aren't for ordinary label whores. They offer well-edited pieces for a savvy, fashion-literate clientele.
1.
Maxfield BleuClose your eyes and imagine a wondrous place where Dior, Prada and Gucci can be found at a discount price. Now open them and find Maxfield Bleu.
2.
Agnes B.Hipsters and Francophiles shop at Agnes B. for cool cardigans, crisp shirts and skinny black pants that even The Gap can't copy.
3.

4.
