Playlist created by Celebrity DJ and Sound Designer Lindsay Luv. 

With some of the best shopping, dining, and coastal landscapes in the world, LA is essentially a big playground for adventurous types. So where should you go and what should you wear? Juicy Couture is giving you the opportunity to experience LA’s vast surroundings with help from its bright and effortless designs and blogger-curated city guides. Up next, DJ Lindsay Luv takes you to her favourite hotspots in Venice Beach. 

Venice Beach and Boardwalk

You can't go west without making a stop at the beach! All of the California beaches are gorgeous in their own right, but Venice Beach really stands out because of its legendary surrounding boardwalk.

The long stretch is full of local artisans, tiny walk-ups shops, beachside bites, bike paths, outdoor gyms, skateboard parks, and of course, the random wild street performers. 

GJELINA

Gjelina is simply one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, and definitely the hottest spot in Venice Beach on Abbot Kinney. Reservations are hard to come by, so many locals opt to snag the perfect slice of pizza or a trio of sides at their adjoining Take-Away annex and plop down on a milk crate in the shady side-courtyard. Plus, the people watching is so Juicy!

N'ICE CREAM

N'ice Cream, a bustling gelato shop on Abbot Kinney, was voted one of Travel & Leisures’ “Best Desserts in the World," and boy they were not kidding!

On a hot beach day I love to grab a waffle cone with rainbow sprinkles and hit the town!

Intelligentsia Coffee

The baristas behind Intelligentsia take their coffee trés seriously, as they fresh roast their beans daily in vintage German roasters and only offer a short list of the classics.

Don't expect to find a Pumpkin Spice Latte here!

Venice Canals

Beckoning from their Venice name, the idyllic waterways covering certain hidden neighbourhoods in town were originally built by Abbot Kinney himself to mimic those in Italy.

I love to get lost on meandering walks along the arched bridges of the canals, watch painters capture the scene, or sneak a peak at a local paddling by in their canoe!
