LA Trip – Day 2

Monday, February 21, 2011 · 2 Comments

Galleries were closed so I hit up more design spots around town.

The Reformation = cool, wearable clothes made from recycled textiles. It was closed when we walked by on Saturday so I returned to do some shopping. Turns out they have a store in New York too!

Food trucks on Abbott Kinney Road in Venice.

.

A “Cali” dog (beef hot dog, basil mayo, avocado, crunchy onions, tomatos and arugula). Tasted as good as it sounds.

.

A + R is a super-cool design shop with a mix of modern design staples like this and more unusual items like this and this.

.

.

ModKat x 2.

.

Tortoise General Store is my new favorite design store. Yes, I know, I’m totally obsessed with Japanese design! For those other Japanophiles out there I’m telling you this place is a little slice of heaven, AND it just so happens they’re considering opening a shop in Brooklyn… if only! We bought a few, darling items and somehow they all fit in a teeny, tiny paper bag.

    Oh man! I was in LA last month and was unable to hit up the food trucks. Jealous!

    we were lucky to just randomly find them. i also ate at another random food truck that sold korean/mexican food. it was korean food in tacos and stuff like that. sounds weird but was actually quite tasty.
