What I Wore - Arts District Los Angeles

We were in Downtown Los Angeles last weekend

supporting a friend at the 

New Film Makers LA

so of course it was a perfect time 

to shoot some outfits in my favorite LA area

The Arts District LA

I was so excited to style my new poncho and hat

two of my favorite finds 

from last weeks 

Austin Trip

which I will be sharing more about next week!

I found this fabulous hand embroidered poncho at

Feathers in Austin.

Trina Turk

 told me about

 Feathers  Boutique 

which is a vintage store

when I mentioned our destination on Instagram.

So you absolutely know if

Trina Turk

recommended it to me

it became  a top destination!

I found my new favorite hat at 

Allen Boots

which was a top must see recommendation 

from my darling friend

Jenn Rose Smith

(you can see her fabulous home HERE)

Jen is the Art Director for the fabulous

Austin basked blogger and influencer

Camille Styles

If you are planning an Austin trip

make sure to check out her site for all 

the best of Austin!!

I was lucky enough to visit Camille's workspace

that I will share in next weeks Austin post.

 Allen Boots 

is definitely something to see!

They even have a fantastic hat collection!

I could have left with so many

but my 3 suitcases

just didn't have the extra room!

My favorite part of finding hats at Western Wear stores

is that the hats are sized within 1/8 of an inch 

so you can find the perfect size!

I always like mine a tad on the large size

so I can get two looks from my hats.

I either wear them straight on my head

or 

tipped back so that the 

hat is a perfect face framer.

Back in LA this Sunday 

we returned to 

The Arts District LA

We were walking around

looking for the perfect wall and lighting

when we came to an unassuming covered walkway

and

 decided to take a peek inside.

We didn't even k now at the time we had just stumbled into the amazing

Hauser and Wirth

Hauser and Wirth

 is a museum and gallery

representing over 60 modern and contemporary artists worldwide.

This LA venue is the latest addition 

to this Swiss owned group.

It is a magnificent property

located in what was originally a grain mill

and 

has now become my favorite LA destination.

If you are in the area 

I highly recommend a visit to 

Hauser and Wirth

Not only do they have fantastic art to be seen

but also an open courtyard,  public garden and an Art Bookstore.

As well as 

Manuela Restaurant

"Sitting within the hidden courtyard of Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, Manuela is at the center of the thriving Downtown Arts District. A destination for food, art and culture, our distinctive menu is a celebration of the best locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients"

We definitely would have done their brunch

if we had found it in time.

Instead we stopped for a cocktail to really take in the remarkable space!

Manuela

 is at the top of my return visit list!
