If you're looking for something more classic Napa-style for lunch, this place is Martha Stewart-meets-Frida Kahlo, and the mojitos are the best I've had. Ever.
Converse in the exclusive salon; loosen up under top-meets-candy store decor in sip shoppe.
The Sip: A glass dixie cup of pinot grigio.
The Snack: Swanson American caviar.
Sensory overload courtesy of a collective of 38 of artists and 19 vintners that show off their wares, potable and otherwise, at this stone clubhouse.
The Sip: Blackbird Vineyards Paramour.
The Snack: The house's signature dark chocolate.
Sonoma Valley views will try to sweep you off your feet. Best to anchor yourself at the rustic picnic table outside the original hacienda for the entire afternoon.
The Sip: Pinot noir Carneros.
The Snack: Cheese and a bit of charcuterie from nearby Vella Cheese Company.
A beauty supply store on steroids. The sprawling space has everything from boutique/cult faves to professional-use hair color and cosmetics. Stop by when you've got at least an hour to devote to perusing the aisles and finding new brands usually reserved for industry professionals. http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/los-angeles/itineraries/beauty-junkies-shop-guide-los-angeles/
The huge talent pool of makeup artists working on celebs, TV, film, and stage lean on Naimie's for professional-grade products. If you're a veteran makeup artist or just want to use the same tools as one, this is the one-stop shop for stocking your kit. http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/los-angeles/itineraries/beauty-junkies-shop-guide-los-angeles/
Located on one of LA's only walking streets, the charming beauty supply store offers enticing brands and a quaint shopping experience. Sets from Molton Brown and L'Artisan Parfumeur make great gifts (if you can bear to part with them). http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/los-angeles/itineraries/beauty-junkies-shop-guide-los-angeles/
Nestled in a Beverly Hills strip mall, the small, packed beauty supply store is my local favorite for the robust stock of affordable Voluspa candles and all-natural makeup products from Jane Iredale. http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/los-angeles/itineraries/beauty-junkies-shop-guide-los-angeles/
A must-see for the ecoconscious and all-natural beauty lover. The sleek, minimal boutique has the best of the best, including Tata Harper, Arcona, and Tracie Martyn. http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/los-angeles/itineraries/beauty-junkies-shop-guide-los-angeles/
A local destination for a broad selection of all-natural, non-toxic products. Not limited to beauty, they also offer teas, juice cleanses, gourmet jams, and chocolate — all in the name of wellness. http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/los-angeles/itineraries/beauty-junkies-shop-guide-los-angeles/
