Artisanal LA!

Artisanal LA Will Celebrate Local, Seasonal and Sustainable Edibles

There is a fun event coming up, Artisanal LA, which I am personally thrilled to be participating in! You will find food booths, workshops, and panels throughout the weekend that all promote local, sustainable, and seasonal morsels. The organizers of Artisanal LA also put on the wildly popular, food truck events earlier this year so it is sure to be a good time for all. 

Come on out to dine on our savory snacks (Rawk-n-Roll Cuisine), stroll the grounds, and meet other like-minded people. I will be in attendance to dish up the grub, gab, and warranted hype- looking forward to meeting you all face-to-face.

Here is the 411. Be sure to buy an advance ticket to save yourself a bit of cash. Who knows, you might even want to put it towards some tasty treats!

Taking up Knitting!

In the spirit of feeling the craft bug biting I have signed up for a knitting class this afternoon. The venue looks adorable. It's called, Stitch Cafe and according to their website they have a courtyard/garden like set up in the back where people can hang out and knit. There are also open knitting circle times for people in the community to cruise by. It looks like a little cottage. I am so excited and feel whimsical up the wazoo. By the end of this class I will know how to make a scarf. They offer other classes though that teach you how to follow patterns, make hats, etc. If I end up getting hooked I may have to continue. 

The idea of guerilla knitting sounds appealing. Installing random knit installations in public that make people wonder, "Why they hell would someone make a cozy for the stoplight?!" Sounds like it could be fun and random.

Anyway, Will post photos of the adventure!

Jeffrey Campbell's New Comma Wedges

One word as to why I love the fall. Boots.

The moment I saw these I became obsessed. They make me swoon. They were meant to be on my feet. Now.

Jefferey Campbell has been impressing me lately. Between the wedges with the notch cut out the back, to the unicorn heels, to these. But these wedges take the cake. I don’t know If I can resist. I may have to splurge. 

My thoughts are racing I can’t think of anything else except how fabulous these are!
