Reading: The Asylum by Simon Doonan (Very entertaining! This book is definitely a strong reason why Simon Doonan is one of my favorite people in the fashion industry.)
A few weeks ago, I went out to Los Angeles' Art District with Sophie to celebrate her birthday. Sophie's main goal was to check out a small design store called Poketo, which was very quaint. I have driven through the Art District multiple times, but never bothered to look around. If you take the time to actually walk up and down the streets, there are many indie and creative stores to explore.
One of my favorite stores that we looked around was Guerilla Atelier, which had a lot of nice clothing with everything from simple sheath dresses to well done harem pants. It also had an eclectic collection of steak knives, candles, and books to accompany all of the clothing. Everything in there seemed well made and each of the classic designs had a clever twist. It's definitely worth going to if you want a unique (but still easy to pull off) kind of dress.
Once we were finished with the Arts District, Sophie and I walked over to Little Tokyo to explore all of the stores there. I was on the hunt for a specific type of erasers at Kinokuniya, but unfortunately, they weren't selling any. I love how Japanese magazines always come with freebies. It makes it so tempting to buy the magazine just for the cute item that comes with it. I saw Karlie Kloss' editorial for Vogue Japan on tumblr and she did an amazing job like she always does.
Before heading home, we stopped at Boba Club in Little Tokyo's Galleria for cold drinks. The ambiance of the store was kind of weird, since it doubles as a Cherry on Top, but the drinks were fine. Overall, it was a very pleasant day and I'm glad I stopped off to explore the Art District with Sophie. A part of me really wants to go to Los Angeles for college because I love it there so much, but another part of me says that I should go farther from home. I guess it all depends on which universities accept me (and which universities reject me).

aww fun! i can spend hours at kinokuniya! i'm the same way i have to force myself to put down the magazines w/ the freebies and remind myself the freebies half the time are not worth it lol!! plus kinokuniya is so expensive they make up the magazines like 3x the retail price!!
ReplyDeleteI know right! The magazines often cost more than $10 and that's just not worth it. Plus, the freebies are never of amazing quality, so it's not really worth it. However, it is super tempting.
DeleteI hope you get into the school of your choice... don't settle... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm studying for finals right now. Hopefully, I get high grades.

DeleteLooks like your friend had a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteI hope she did!
Deletelooks like you two had a good time together, and CONVERSE BUDDIES :D and lol ya sweat suit with $5000 bag combo, sooo weird!
ReplyDeleteSophie just got those Converse and ever since, people have been pointing out that we have matching shoes. The combo seems so odd. Wouldn't you rather have all nice enough clothes than the old sweat suit thing?
