LV SERIES 2 + JAX

Following my lovely visit to Hello Kitty, I ventured over to the Louis Vuitton exhibit on Highland. It was a scorching hot day in town, I'm talking "sweating before you even walk" hot. The minute I stepped through the doors, I was greeted by the neon glow of the famous LV,  and somehow, in the glow of it all, I was transported into a world of "coolness." The show balanced history, today and the future all in one space. I have to say, not only was the art wonderful to gaze at (you'd be amazed at how much time and detail goes into every single thing) but the crowds were inspiring as well. Maybe it was the fashionable names that came attached with this exhibit but everyone was dressed to the nines; flashing their sense of style as quick as the pulsating videos in the show. There was even a class field trip going on! I mean, how cool is that? Probably the thing that topped the whole day was seeing a fuzzy face poking out of a cobalt blue Hermes Birkin. That alone made me want to hurry home to go see my own furry baby.

Second favorite thing? The free sticker wall with Louis Vuitton branded items reflecting the latest collection.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HELLO KITTY!


I visited a childhood friend recently and it made me so happy to reminisce with her! Hello Kitty turned 40 this year, although technically she never ages! She's basically every one's favorite furry, feline vampire! This exhibit held in her honor at the Japanese American Natural Museum was a fabulous mix of old and new. The first level was a walk through Hello Kitty's beginning and all the wonderful things Sanrio created and the second level focused on art inspired by Hello Kitty. Literally, people painted her, sculptured her, made movies about her and drew her like "one of their french girls." It was a whimsical afternoon full of color and super Kawaii fun!  It was purr-fect!
