☮ ♥ & THREAD LA

The Holiday Season is officially here, which means plenty of presents to purchase. Without a doubt, my favorite gifts to give are ones that I know the person will really love. That seems simple, but the task of finding the perfect present for everyone on my list does not always come at the perfect price and hardly ever found all in one place. This is what I believed until I discovered THREAD. Talk about ultra unique, one-of-a-kind and creatively chic designs, clothing and crafts under one roof...um, pinch me! From a DIY Booth to hourly give-a-ways, live artists and DJ beats, this localized shopping show is anything but ordinary and is headed to Los Angeles this Sunday. Taking over the Cooper Design Space at 860 South Los Angeles Street, check out deets and RSVP for $5 here. If anyone wants to know what my Holiday Shopping secret weapon is? Tell them I said THREAD.

PS. We Made This...

Thread was such a success! Hundreds of locals sipped, snacked and shopped independent design and everyone I talked to was having a fabulous time. For the DIY Lounge, we started off with threaded bracelets. Take a peak at some of the awesome color combos!

 A special thanks to all of the lovely ladies of Thread Show + Elle Communications for inviting me to host the DIY Lounge and   inspiring me to get even more crafty! Also, thank you to everyone who stopped by the lounge! For more DIY tips, ideas and how-to's, check out PS. I made this, with a claim to re imagine, reuse & reinvent fashion.  

DIY @ THREAD This Sunday

Tomorrow the THREAD Show is kicking off its first showcase of the season in San Diego! Not only will there be dozens of local designers, artists and fashionistas, but Thread is back and bringing in 2011 even better now that they have added a blogger style off, man cave, and a do-it-yourself lounge. This Sunday, I am excited to announce that I will be instructing the DIY Lounge where shoppers will get the opportunity to create a unique piece of their own! Stay tuned for some re-cap photos as I will be blogging from Horton Plaza tomorrow. 

Get your fashion and shopping fix all in one place and support the creative folks who are transforming indie design as we know it. So stop in, shop, drink and get THREADed this Sunday!
