While attending an event for Concept LA at ACE Galleries I came across this fabulous collection of art work by The Date Farmers. Armando Lerma and Carlos Ramirez are the artistic duo behind these collages of Mexican-American heritage and California pop culture pieces. They met at a Coachella Valley art gallery in 1998 and have been unstoppable ever since. These pieces are so fun to browse through and I definitely insist on taking a visit if you're in the LA area.
I love you, 2010

I have been following Alana Hale's collections from the very beginning when she began selling her line at my good friend Angie's showroom La Maison De Fashion on Melrose. She always has chic pieces that are great for mixing up a day wardrobe into night. Always feminine and sophisticated in style you have to check out her latest Spring 2012collection!
There were some interesting installations at the show as well including my friend Mike Vensel who has very simple designs but always classic.

I absolutely LOVED Michelle Laine's jewelry in her installation. Great pieces to bling up an ordinary outfit into something glamorous! It was very crowded and hard to get all the photos I wanted but check out more of her pieces on her website. Gorgeous!
