VENICE. Searching for an alternative to expensive LA boutiques? Aren't we all (hello, holiday bills)! Look no further then Venice's Animal House, the perfect balance of designer vintage and trendy new clothing and accessories that epitomize California cool.

The mix of old and new makes Animal House truly unique. Colorful racks of vintage couture are bursting with Pucci dresses, cashmere sweaters, flowing skirts and funky jackets. I even found a Burberry trench for $95! Not to be outdone, the new clothing features fabulous brands like Joes Jeans, Ella Moss and Splendid.

High-end accessories such as Hermes scarves will have you salivating over the display cases. And the assortment of classic coffee table books highlighting past decades of California pop culture make great gifts.

Bring your boyfriend! Guys won't be disappointed by large selection of vintage rocker tees, fedoras, hip belts, leather jackets and Vans shoes.
