  1. Burlesque artist Ava Garter offers tips for a romantic Valentine's Day

    Remember Jennifer Lopez's 2001 hit "Love Don't Cost a Thing"? It's the sort of tune you hope your valentine is whistling this year, given the daily doses of bleak economic news. But even if you're just entertaining in your living room over glasses of Barefoot Bubbly, there's no need to give romance the pink slip. The trick is in thinking beyond stuff to seduction, says burlesque queen Ava Garter, a protege of Dita Von Teese and teacher at the Black Glove School of Seduction. She offers these tips.

  5. In Pacific Palisades, think indie, think Swarthmore

    This season, many Pacific Palisades merchants are displaying window signs with the acronym SHOPP and the words "Shop Pacific Palisades." We couldn't agree more. If Santa double-parked Donder and company here for even half an hour, he could make a serious dent in his to-do list but not his wallet.

  9. Holiday shopping takes a French twist in South Pasadena

    "<i>Merci beaucoup</i>," said the waiter at Mike & Anne's, a pleasant restaurant on Mission Street in South Pasadena, as my friend Allie and I finished our lattes and paid the bill. Allie had mentioned that there was a distinctive French theme to the shops and eateries in her neighborhood, but this seemed over-the-top. It was 11 a.m., already too late to get a <i>pan au chocolat </i> at the prepared-food shop and cafe Nicole's Gourmet Foods nearby (they usually sell out by 10), but it was the perfect time to start shopping for gifts. We started at Camille DePedrini, a  special-occasion store with pricey but elegant accessories. Allie liked the black-lace gloves ($25) and an oversized, geometric print change purse, and I loved the jewel-colored clutches by Hoss, which had a playful elegance.

  13. Gift-buying made simple

    The energy of the holidays is different this year -- less "How much can we buy how frantically?" and more "How can we streamline?" Frankly, it's a relief to have an excuse to simplify, to focus on celebrating (stylishly, of course) in a way that puts...

  17. Salvaged in style

    CARRIE CARR knows a good piece of trash when she sees it. Take the kitchen cabinet that she salvaged from an apartment building under renovation and turned into a glass-fronted display case. Or the living room piece &#8212; "my gangsta coffee table," she says &#8212; that she found abandoned in a Chicago alley and repainted in a glossy, Regency-esque black. Or the humble shelf she scooped up off a street corner and now uses as a stage for her collection of McCoy pottery.

  19. Last-minute gifts that stand out

    It arrives most every year, that moment when you realize you need to find another holiday gift -- fast. The less-than-enviable fallback: a lackluster candle from the Hallmark store or a Starbucks gift card you either take out of your wallet or pick up 10 minutes before giving it.

  21. Larchmont Boulevard blends old and new

    Just south of Hollywood's soundstages and editing houses sits L.A.'s answer to Main Street, U.S.A: Larchmont Boulevard, which is peppered with stylish boutiques and inviting restaurants that cater to hip moms, foodies and families. The mix of new and old is refreshing -- yes, there's a Pinkberry, but Larchmont Barber Shop and Larchmont Hardware have been on the street since the 1920s and '30s, respectively -- and it draws regular crowds, who find the very strollable street a refreshing destination for one-stop shopping.

    Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
    They don't take much space under the tree. But look for more fantasies and long-sought "experiences" showing up this Christmas morning. Instead of sweaters, toasters and paperweights, many adults will be receiving surfing lessons, parachute jumps, spa...
