BANJANAN

Summer weather is far from over in Los Angeles, and all I want to throw on are light weight cotton voile dresses. It seems to be the best way to beat the heat. In my search for new and fresh dresses, I came across Banjanan. Caroline Weller’s designs are inspired by the textiles and printing techniques found in the vibrant markets of India. Weller’s Jaipur-based brand, Banjanan (means bohemian wanderer in Hindi), is hand-stitched by skilled artisans into each and every piece. I picked up my first one a couple a weeks ago and I absolutely love it! See below for some of my favorite pieces.

Charlotte Stone @ ROW DTLA

I was lunching downtown at Bottega Louie and had some time to burn, so I decided to check out ROW DTLA. ROW DTLA is 32 acres of land sandwiched between the Arts District and the Industrial District. There are 6 beautiful historic buildings full of creative office space, coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques. Tartine is opening soon…can’t wait!!! Every Sunday is Smorgasburg a weekly Sunday market for food, shopping, and drinks. It’s quickly becoming one of the cities hippest districts, and I expect it to develop more in the coming years. Click here to learn more about this historic district.

While I was browsing the shops I stumbled upon the Charlotte Stone boutique. I have always been a fan of her chic stylish shoes. Charlotte Stone is a local designer who makes comfortable, vibrant, and practical footwear. I picked up an adorable pair of sandals that just so happened to be on sale!!! It’s worth a trip there to check out Charlotte’s first flagship store and stroll the historic grounds.

Must Have Monogram

I posted a picture on Instagram yesterday wearing my monogrammed red Leatherology bag. I got several comments asking where I got it…so here you go. It’s the Meadow Double Zip Camera Bag from Leatherology. I have to say I love it! It’s the perfect size, and I can fit everything I need in it. They offer hand painting monogramming along with traditional embossing. There are so many fun colors to choose from and you can’t beat the price for a full grain leather bag.
