Shop L.A. – Trina Turk Outlet
If you and your mother love discount shopping as much as my mom and I do, consider a trip to the Trina Turk outlet in Alhambra for some Mother’s Day shopping. Upon a recent tweet from RecessionistaLA, I was reminded of the fact that a designer outlet resides in the good ol’ SGV, and I still...
Shop L.A.: Unique LA
Lots of walking for me this weekend: to and from Unique LA on Saturday, which is basically across town, and then walking the whole 13th floor of the California Mart to browse the 200+ vendors on both days. Though Unique LA’s been around for a couple of shows now, this is my first time attending...
L.A. Dining: LudoBites at Akasha
After missing out on the Gram & Papa’s LudoBites, I finally got a hot ticket to last week’s LudoBites pop-up at Akasha in Culver City. Chef Ludo was in the flesh, getting pix-y with us, and tweeting to the Top Chef episode he was recently in. My favorite Top Chef Ludo-tweet of the evening:
Color Scheming: Tiara Cafe

My Muse, My Man: A Vegas-versary

Fashion Illustrated at Nucleus’ Line of Style
If I could draw (well), I think I would’ve tried my hand at fashion illustration. Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra put on a great show featuring two of my favorite things, along with a couple of fashion shows. And the runway created by Matik is just incredible – so simple, made from everyday materials, but so...
Love Angeles: Snaps
Since I got a new Blackberry with a data plan (yeah, I know, welcome to 2010), I’ve been snapping more photos on my phone. So much more portable than an SLR. Check them all out on the Tumblr: http://loveangelesla.tumblr.com
Shot Callin’
The BF and his friend directed another music video, and the studio will be working on the motion graphics in post – hence the green screen shots below. Though the budgets for music videos are pretty much nonexistent nowadays, it’s always fun to be shooting in the studio – especially on a half day schedule....
