Wool & the Gang

I adore NY boutique Wool & the Gang. Between the kits and the tutorials and the sexy cool online shop, I am ready to get down to the knitty gritty.

Huckleberry
Warning: Pastry Porn.
pastry display.

latte.
beef brisket.
cinammon roll.
The weekends are a perfect time for two things: hangovers, and the brunches that cure them. This weekend we went to Huckleberry in Santa Monica, beautiful cafe and bakery with an energy that I liken to the westside sister of Joan's on 3rd. The Pacquiao victory on Saturday night had me asleep until the wee hours of the Sunday afternoon, but Huckleberry serves its abundance of fresh brunch fare, & pastries until 3pm for the weekend straggler crowd such as myself.
PS. Goooo Team Pacquiaooooooooooo

James Dean
For a lesson in basics and closet staples you must netflix the made for TV movie of James Franco's immaculate portrayal of James Dean. The retro eyewear, denim shirt, stripes, pea coat, and motorcycle jacket are timeless pieces that can do no wrong regardless of gender.

Silverlake Art Crawl
So I do this thing where I drink black coffee at work all week and then treat myself to yummy lattes on the weekends. Last Sunday I took my latte up to Barnsdall Park to catch the tail-end of the Silverlake Art Crawl. Barnsdall is like Griffith Park's kid brother, a little lower in elevation, with an opposite but equally breathtaking view of Los Angeles. We perched up on the grass, ate an ice cream sandwich (coolhaus' brioche is ridiiiculously good btw), and watched beautiful people in their vintage shades toting around their beautiful mixed-ethnicity children. Gahhhh it was a sight to be seen, I wish my camera battery didn't die. :( Luckily, Lyndsey Wong from StyleSight snapped a photo of me and sent it over (thanks Lyndsey!).
I am obsessed with bike shorts now, after being inspired by my good friend. It's a good LA alternative to leggings, still extremely comfy, and so easy to make. Just take a tired pair of leggings, snip snip to your desired length, and voila! Even I can do it, and I am the worst DIY'er in the galaxy.

Helloween!



Eeeee I was Hello Kitty for Halloween, which I think is my favorite costume to date! This outfit was so fun to put together. I decided at the very last minute to wear a platinum wig and facepaint, and I think that really did the trick. or treat. Anyway Abraham Lincoln escorted me around to three nights of non stop parties ending with the last Banana Split party ever. Last night A-trak, Steve Aoki, Justice, and Z-trip paid tribute to DJ AM and his party that gave LA kids a healthy stack of Sunday laughter and fun for the past 3 years. It was a blasssst, he would have been proud.

Wild Thing
Found this pic floating around, it was from the gorgeous Where the Wild Things Are popup shop at Space15Twenty last month. What'd you think of the movie? I can't wait to see a bunch of Max's and Carroll's walking around this weekend! I might have the urge to run up and hug all of them.
Ahhhhh Halloween. I am piecing my costume together, I'm going to be.....HELLO KITTY! What's everyone dressing up as?

Special Delivery
What I wore when I went to sushi in Little Tokyo last night. I've been spending a lot more time in downtown, and...it's up in the air, but I might be moving to that part of town soon. Eeeeeee keep your fingers crossed for me please.
I've been following L.A. Bento on twitter for a minute, and ordered from them today! It's a lunch delivery service, that offers a selection of made-to-order sandwiches, and sides. Homemade chips and a fresh cookie arrive at your door along with your meal for $10. Definitely worth a try if they're in your neighborhood.
My cute bento box made from recycled materials.

The compartmentalized lunch, it's like lunchables for big kids with bigger wallets.

Muffletta Sandwich, soft roll from Breadbar and a generous helping of deli meats that are hormone free & sustainably farmed. not to mention TDF.

FRIDAY, October 16 in San Diego at Onyx, I'll be playing for my good friend TK. I used to live in SD for college and it's my first time playing in San diego. I'm very excited for this! Thanks TK!
THURSDAY, October 22 in Hollywood at The Room, MADE Jewelry is hosting a launch party for their latest LOVE+HATE collection. As well as their jewerly crafting skills, MADE is known for their refined taste in music. So it's always an honor to play for them at their parties. They collaborate with some of the best DJ's in the world to put out a new mixtape with each jewelry collection. In fact I heard DJ Zita is with them in the lab working on the next release for the LOVE+HATE collection.
If you're around, please stop in and say hi!
Hopefully I'll have even more events to share with you, and (eeeee!) a mixtape coming soon :)
