A Day in LA


Yesterday, I dropped Lucca off at his brother's house and spent the day up in and around L.A. I was so excited to finally meet the girls at J.Serraino- a boutique in Valencia, CA. They've been super supportive of my line for years and since my reps always took care of in store appointments, I only knew their voices from phone calls over the years. It was great to put faces to the names and if you live or visit the Santa Clarita area, you must stop in to their boutique. Aside from the great lines they carry and fantastic finds- they are so sweet and welcoming & I guarantee you will enjoy your shopping experience. Plus, they will be receiving a new shipment of mimi & lu in the next few weeks!
After Valencia, I headed to downtown LA's garment district to do some research and supply shopping. I've avoided L.A. like the plague and it was about time I headed down and spent some time there. It was Market week so there was  a lot going on.  Since I'm still on the hunt for the perfect ribbon for my packaging, I checked out all the trim stores (still haven't found the perfect match!) and then headed out of downtown towards the beach areas.
My last stop was at M.E. and Blue in Venice. If you haven't been to this boutique you have to go! M.E. repped my line when I was first getting started and today has her own store and clothing line. I love what M.E. has transformed this bungalow space into. Especially the mural on the exterior. You can't miss it driving down the street. I spent a couple hours catching up and talking shop and left with a cute,  casual one shoulder dress in purple. (I finally added something to my wardrobe that's not white, black or gray!) And I love it.
Picked a tired Lucca up after a 13 hour day and we are both spending today catching up. (him on sleep, me on work!)
