The Makers Arcade Spring Fair took place on Saturday in North Park, and brought together a collection of San Diego’s coolest artists and craftsmen. This event was one of my favorite things I’ve attended. EVER! The fair was held in an old Post Office-turned lofts facility, making it the perfect backdrop for a hip urban event. Every corner of the market was picture perfect; I wanted to buy something from every single vendor! Some of the coolest features included endless graphic prints, recycled candles, hand lettered signs, a s’mores cart, Hawaiian lemonade in giant mason jars, fresh flower crowns, and hanging macramé pots.

Printed Palette was one of my favorite booths, selling everything from balloons to glasses to clothes with their hand designed graphics (I can’t wait to check out their boutique in Del Mar!) We literally stayed for hours because I didn’t want to leave an event with such a cool vibe. I’m already looking forward to the winter show!

Let me just start saying how OBSESSED I am with this wall. It’s one of those spots in LA we’ve all seen on countless blogs and Instagram, and it might be one of the most basic things ever…. but it was the coolest feeling hunting it down and taking these pictures!

When my best friend asked if I wanted to take a day off and head to LA for fashion week, I had no idea we would be finding my new favorite coffee shop too! Alfred Coffee + Kitchen is the epitome of the LA scene. It’s hip and artsy, complete with a hot pink hashtag and floral prints galore. The coffee cups made me pretty excited too [I just wish someone would create the tagline “But first, tea” instead…].

Nothing says spontaneous photoshoot like a great brick wall. Elliot & I spent Valentine’s Day wandering around Little Italy, stopping at the farmer’s market for fresh blooms and macarons. This part of town is one of my favorites, since it brings back memories of our study abroad days in Torino. Everyone who knows me knows I’m not the biggest fan of getting my picture taken, but who can resist such a cool backdrop?
