Rocking awesome indie designers isn't just about sporting an ultra-unique item that your pals can covet. It's also about understanding where (and who) your clothing came from. That's exactly why we dig THREAD Show, a traveling showcase of emerging brands. All along the West Coast, THREAD Show brings together savvy shoppers and tomorrow's raddest designers. Angelenos and S.F.-ers can shop the mobile marketplace on November 13 (L.A.) and November 20 (S.F.), peeping THREAD Show's local pop-up gallery, live music, and luxe beauty treats.

Can't make it? No worries. If you still wanna get in on the indie love, THREAD and Refinery29 have teamed up to hook you up. We're giving away two super-curated head-to-toe looks from THREAD Show's roster of TDF (to-die-for, natch) designers. You can nab a "Boho Chic" ensemble—complete with eco-friendly silk from Future:Standard and a cozy wool coat from Bridge & Burn—or if you're feeling posh, the "Indie Glam" look includes a bold and backless LBD from VUESOCIETY and killer statement accessories from Briana Rene. Each look totals $750 plus includes amazing indie fashion with special thanks from Volaga, Amy Bengston, and LisaMichelle Collection. Either way, sign up here: you'll be showing support for good taste and a good cause.

One of our favorite things to do while we’re traveling is exploring local stores and rummaging for that perfect vintage find. Every time we’re in California, the one place we need to go is Wasteland, boasting the best selection of vintage, modern, and designer clothing. Since 1986, Wasteland has been the go-to shop for designers, stylists, and celebrities, and with stores in San Francisco, Melrose, Studio City, Burbank, and Santa Monica, we sometimes make a stop at a few different locations for their keenly curated selection of independent and established labels with a one-of-a-kind feel. While Wasteland sometimes has been the reason we’ve booked our trip to the Golden State in the first place, we’re extremely excited to hear that they’ll be launching an online store this July for our 24/7 shopping needs. Also coming in July is the hot new Jeffrey Campbell shoe, “The Again Ltd,” which will be sold exclusively at all Wasteland locations and on their online store. Sign up for Refinery29 and Wasteland’s newsletters for a chance to win the exclusive Jeffrey Campbell “The Again Ltd” shoe and a $250 Wasteland gift certificate. For more of the latest updates, gift codes, and giveaways,  follow Wasteland on Twitter, like them on Facebook, and check out their blog. And don’t worry, Cali, we’ll find another excuse to return soon! 

What's better than summertime in L.A.? Summertime in Paris! Whisk yourself away to the City of Light and back with L.A.'s Les Pommettes on Robertson Boulevard. A go-to spot for Los Angeles' finest—from celebs to their all-star stylists—this Parisian-chic boutique will hook you up with all animal-friendly goods, including clothes from indie designers like Hache, to threads from international heavyweights like Vera Wang. What's more, Les Pommettes exclusively carries Decolete, its own in-house line of one-of-a-kind items including beautiful baubles and awe-worthy duds, all of which are handmade by owner, Delia Seaman. R29 and Les Pommettes want to hook you up with a $1,000 gift certificate so you can shop to your hearts content. We've got a feeling you might get lost in this shop for a while, whether perusing the editorial mural wall for inspiration or hitting the shelves. This cozy shop will make you feel right at home (while simultaneously luring you into feeling like you've just stumbled upon that unique boutique you were looking for along a Parisian street), and get you all ready for summer fun.

We've gathered the outfits that'll make you the dish du jour at LA's hippest new spot for bright young things, Public.

Feel the joy of the lush life as you sit beneath hand-painted ceilings and atop over-stuffed upholstered chairs at Public, the newest spot nestled inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Chef Tim Goodell, the man behind 25 Degrees, presents a super-rich menu—Neapolitan meatballs with currants and pine nuts, potato and three cheese fritters served in a dippable basil aioli—meant for the snacker who likes to nibble, or those with a serious lust for the reddest meats. Though the light is romantic, the tropical flora and moss-covered walls deserve a little sun, so choose something bright to stand out against all of the rich brass and wood tones. A place Don Draper would take his ladies—if they were LA-based—the retro-inspired floral tones and old school clutches look great alongside the diamond-tufted banquette. One promise though: Don't spoil your appetite on the legendary Parker House Rolls—they're to die for.

Public Restaurant, 7000 Hollywood Boulevard (at North Orange Drive), (323) 466-7000.
