Leela Market

We've fallen in love with this ready-to-wear boutique just outside Old Town, on commercial 5th Avenue. In front of the entrance, it's not unusual to find two racks of tempting discounts on jeans and jackets, as well as shirts and t-shirts. Inside, more choice, from shoes to sunglasses to fine pendants, as well as a vast collection of clothing. All in a sober but trendy style, very L.A. "cool kid". Plus: good value for money.
