Chanel On The Street

saw this girl waiting in line for one of the food trucks when I was at Unique LA. Felt like a bit of a stalker shooting her as we waited. But whatever, sometimes it pays to be stealth with the camera. I was intrigued by her bag and shoes... Does anyone know - are the shoes really Chanel?

P.S.  I loved her dress!

Unique LA

 Whimsical yet edgy art by Andrea Zull

 Yummy bath products that looked so good I thought they were edible!

 Recycled Cashmere with a vintage twist

  How rad are these bottles that are made into drinking glasses by Bottle Hood?

 leather pouches to tote small belongings by Hereos and Tails

 Gorgeous jewelry by my fav Lost Bird 

love those feather earrings and of course I bought one of the bracelets.

They are my list for "must haves" and layering pieces

 super cool "art boxes" that make you look twice by Glass Cathedrals

I laughed so hard and loved this art by Montertrocity

We went to check out Unique LA this past weekend - well worth it! It's as if you walked into Etsy (if Etsy was an actual store) . You meet all the artists, can ask questions, try things on, and really feel like you bought something unique. Wish it was more than once a year!

YSL Manifesto Girls in Los Angeles

 The gorgeous bag and the amazing YSL book inside

Had quite the adventure today trying to track down the YSL Manifesto girls in Venice and Santa Monica. In case you don't know about this - YSL distributes the Manifesto Book and limited edition YSL tote (free) in various places through out New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Milan, but this is the first time LA has been part of it, so I was very excited! 

We cruised up and down Abbot Kinney for well over an hour before they arrived and we spotted them, but it was well worth it!  I am sure they probably thought I was a total freak when I sprung out of the car while screaming  "Manifesto Girls!!".  But they were gracious enough to pose for a photo - which they of course all look gorgeous in.

We then were heading to lunch and we spotted the second group of YSL girls over on Main Street in Santa Monica so I had to stop and bombard them again - I think I was the only person in the beach area today who knew what was going on and was super excited about it.

I heard on twitter that Robertson and Hollywood Blvd were busy with people looking for them but Venice and Santa Monica just didn't seem that crazy... except for me..
