1. COLETTE After over 25 years of creating jewelry, Colette Steckel has opened a new shop for her eponymous brand in Brentwood as a love letter to her French Mexican heritage. This new location, which opened this summer, showcases exquisite, one-of-a-kind pieces, each carrying whispers of Steckel’s global travels. If you’re craving showstopping, wearable works of art then look no further. Brentwood Country Mart, colettejewelry.com
2. FLEUR DU MAL The ’70s-inspired decor dressing this lingerie brand’s first West Coast location perfectly complements the timeless decadence of its merchandise. Founder Jennifer Zuccarini has a keen eye for aesthetics, and Fleur du Mal— like the Baudelaire poetry collection it’s named for—is simply rich with complexity: equal parts sophisticated and seductive.
