LA Art District

I needed to make a run to LA 

for some design supplies on Sunday.

So as per our usual Jeff and I decided to go explore

a new to us area of the Art District.
It was the perfect outing for my new splurge
Celine sunglasses!

I also thought my new shirt 

by Fanny Karst.com and Advanced Style

would be a fun piece to style an outfit around

for our little exploration in the Art District.
I was quite delighted how engaging the shirt
always ends up to be
with young and old alike!

We discovered the sweetest little coffee/cafe venue.

Both buildings had been built on a curve 

creating a most wonderful courtyard.

With great care being taken to protect 

a tiny mural.

The block on Industrial Road

even had an urban  herb garden done

by another little cafe.

In the Art District there is a lot of redevelopment

still underway 

so one block might be absolutely charming

another not so much at all.

The largest redevelopment on the block

is the old 

National Biscuit Company (Nabisco)

which has been turned into some fabulous lofts

with the notable

Church and State restaurant on the ground floor.

We came to the area in search of 

The Little Bear Cafe

for brunch.

My husband was compelled to try one of their 

signature hand crafted cocktails

the Naturalist

One must have a strong appreciation of rosemary to enjoy!

Across the street from Little Bear is a most charming 

upscale market with  enviably large cheese and meat departments.

Outside tables await customers of their

on site barbecuing.

Even the market has murals.

For those of you in SoCal

looking for fabulous walls

LA's Art District

has them in a myriad of colors and designs!

Even though it an advertisement

this is the mural  that resonates most with me!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy 

as you style your life
