Artist District Treats Me Well

  So every third weekend of the month, in this little parking lot hidden inside the vast Downtown LA, the Artist District has a little flea market where artists sell their creations and/or sell vintage items as well.

Here's what ya girl got

I got a necklace, a book On Photography by Susan Sontag, a sketch/note book, and a poetry book Les fleurs du mal by Baudelaire. 

I think this necklace is super cool. 

The girl who made it makes them directly from her studio in Silver Lake. She dyes fabric and makes clothing out of them. With the leftover scraps, she stretches them over a plate of 14k gold and then attaches them to a gold choker. 

My grandma found this and bought it for me. She was really excited. I studied Baudelaire in French class, seems like a cool guy ; the artwork is beautiful. I'm looking forward to reading it. 

I got this sketch/note book at this booth where the artists took the covers of old vintage books and then filled them with blank pages. Took keep a piece of the literature alive, they cut out the first page or some pictures or illustrations and pasted them on the front, back, or both inside covers of the sketch/note book. 

This book really interested me. The back describes it as a book explaining the connection between photography, art, the conscious, and knowledge. My passion is art and my main interest is psychology, so, I mean, how much more can a book sound interesting to someone like me?! 

 It's such a cute place, the DJ is AMAZING, everyone is insanely sweet, and the stuff is so worth it! If you live in Los Angeles I highly recommend you get a taste. 

Also, did I mention they have delicious food trucks in the back? ;)

Nonna's Bathroom

In my grandma's lovely grand Hollywood home here in Los Angeles, she has an adorable guest bathroom. Covered in a beautiful red and white floral wall paper, the walls hold many art deco artworks. I can't help but admire all the little decorations and trinkets in this room so I thought I'd write about them. So here are some pictures of my favorites in this tiny square.

Two gorgeous pieces by Benti Voglio. I love these because the simplicity of the bodies and the colorful contrast behind them. I love the designs on them too.

Another painting by Benti Voglio. I usually don't like a too much white in paintings but he pulls it off impeccably.

I love this mirror. It's pretty small (looks giant in the picture) and I find it extremely adorable.

This is vintage wallpaper that my grandma put all around the bathroom.

I'm obsessed with this art deco head. I think it's so beautiful and I want it so bad!

Above the bathtub, my grandma has a shelf filled with little trinkets. 

PRAIZE JEZUS

More paintings by Benti Voglio again - white looks great.

I know it's a bathroom, but it's probably my favorite room in the whole entire house. It's compact, adorable, and has some of the best artwork. I love it.
