the insider's guide to your city
DailyCandy is a handpicked selection of all that's fun, fashionable, food related, and culturally stimulating in the city you’re fixated on (and all over the Web).
Trolling basements, fending off scavengers. Shopping for bargains is spooky business.
For a trick-free treat, pop over to Trunkshow LA, a new modern designer discount boutique in Santa Monica.
Inside the neatly appointed space, a well-edited selection of handpicked labels is always marked down 40-90 percent. Thoughtful color displays and full size runs replace the usual picked-over chaos. The main attraction: current collections of top-secret designer denim. (Trust us, they’re good). Slouchy styles from Kova & T, soft-as-butta American Vintage tees, and LnA leggings complete the casual-chic look.
For your further shopping enjoyment, walls are decked with art from local photographers, art books and magazines await perusal, a projector screen will play fashion shows and art flicks, and a listening booth will be set up for scoping out new tunes. Plus, you never need to R.S.V.P.
All in all, a scary-good experience.
