Los Angeles Shopping - Advice Please!


My husband and I are planning a trip to Los Angeles for a long weekend without the kids and.... 

Wait, did you catch that last part? Without. The. Kids. 

Anyway, we are looking to do a whole lot of nothing while we're there. No running around LA to fit in all of the tourist attractions for us. Nope, all we have in mind is sleeping in late, having leisurely dinners at some great restaurants, strolling around in the warm weather, checking out a beach or two, and, of course, doing a bit of shopping. There's a few places that I've always wanted to shop in LA but I'd also love any suggestions that you have!

I know there are some great Los Angeles flea markets and hitting one of them is at the top of my shopping to-do list. Which one we'll end up at is going to depend upon which Sunday of the month our trip falls on but the flea markets that I've heard of are the Santa Monica Airport Outdoor Antique & Collectible Market (1st and 4th Sunday of each month),
{Santa Monica Market}
{Santa Monica Market}
the Rose Bowl (2nd Sunday of every month),
{RGC Shows}
the Downtown Flea (4th Sunday of every month),
{Downtown Flea}
and the Long Beach Antique Market (3rd Sunday of every month):
{Long Beach Antique Market}
{Long Beach Antique Market}
Other than the flea markets, I don't know a whole lot about shopping in LA. I have only two stores on my to-do list and they're both ones I've been dying to visit. One is the Giannetti Home store - I'm a huge fan of Brooke Giannetti and her blog Velvet & Linen. Her taste is impeccable:
{Houzz - Giannetti Home}

{Velvet & Linen}
I'd also love to go to Nathan Turner's store because who doesn't love Nathan fabulous style and his adorable antics with his partner in crime, Mary McDonald:
{Zimbio}
I'm sure that his home store wouldn't disappoint:

{Habitually Chic}
So bring it on - where else should we shop? Any restaurant recommendations? Please dish!
