MADAME MONSIEUR + ARTS DISTRICT

11:47:00 PMUnknown

OUI OUI-

While my brother prepares his France itinerary, I found a hint of Paris much closer to home in the darling little cafe Madame Monsieur. Their toasted baguettes were to die for, but I especially enjoyed the Croque Monsieur specialty sandwich. Pair the meal with an iced latte and your taste buds will thank you.

ARTS DISTRICT-

If moving here means neighboring art galleries and creative spaces like Alchemy Works then I am about to start packing. Living in a collaborative environment where inspiration can be drawn from every and any street corner is very appealing to me. Not to mention the plethora of tasteful eateries LA has to offer will surely keep my appetite happy. Now, brb as I somehow manage to put aside my ill will toward the mess that is LA parking and traffic. Until then, I will continue my weekend visits.

BREATHER

12:51:00 AMUnknown

This past Wednesday, Olivia booked a Breather space for us to shoot some looks. The location was SO prime and thanks to our late afternoon time slot, we had the most favorable sunlight peeking through the glass windows. Sun rays perfectly lit room corners and allowed for some charming shadow play that all translated so well into our photos, especially the detail shots. See for yourself:

Last Saturday, Mohawk General Store had their Annual Warehouse Sale in Echo Park with an unbeatable 70%-90% off brands such as Acne Studios and Isabel Marant. Lusttforlife had a featured pop-up shop at this event so duty called for me.

LUSTTFORLIFE'S CLOSET-

MOHAWK GENERAL STORE-

The day was long and hectic but a successful one at most! Plenty of Olivia's clothing and accessories found their way to new homes. Not to mention, we survived the absolute madness that comes with major sales. I definitely owe my survival to coffee (no surprise there!), the Square app, my flea market experience (shoutout to the Fashion Interest Group at UC Irvine) and having sold my soul to retail twice before.

We ended the day with dinner at Baco Mercat. It was my first time and I really loved the vibe but even more so the food (pig ears and all!). Do expect my return very soon, especially for their cold pasta and of course to try new dishes!

Thanks for reading! ♥
