Juniper Ridge – The Mountains in a Bottle

I think the first time I saw something from Juniper Ridge might have been last year when I arrived to L.A. Some incense sticks on the supermarket caught my attention because the whole package and graphic image was too cool to be just ordinary incense sticks. Handmade drawings...

At the Getty Center, Saturdays Off the 405

Last Saturday we decided to go visiting Getty Center. Located on the top of a hill, the museum offers -besides great exhibitions and some really privileged views of the whole city of L.A.- free concerts in the open air once a month. The other day we could enjoy Danish-band Quadron playing, which turned out to...

Bart’s Books of Ojai

It is impossible not to be in love with Ojai. In our short but great getaway last month not only we enjoyed this Californian little town and the nature surrounding it but we also discovered -besides the coolest motel- what I consider the most amazing used-book store I have ever seen to date. Bart’s Books...

Thick Knits and Blue Vintage for a Cozy Evening

Yes, trust me, sometimes in L.A. you do need a thick knit sweater, some other times you even need a scarf and sometimes -just a few times- you even need both of them together! The funny thing is, since this is an extraordinary phenomenon that only happens in rare occasions and never more than -I...

Ojai Rancho Inn – The coolest sleep in Ojai

Ojai Rancho Inn must be, by far, one of the coolest motels I have ever stayed in. A very relaxed, cozy and warm atmosphere wraps this motel, composed of little wooden cabins, in which we spent two nights when we went to Ojai for the weekend. It is located within a walking distance from...

Peace is a state of mind – Or a weekend getaway to Ojai Valley

What happens when you have been here for a while is that you have already visited all the basics: San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Palm Springs… You name it. And, although this places are surely worth visiting more than once, you don’t want to repeat the trip yet because you know that you...

Shoes keep it clean, sneakers get dirty – A party by Converse

I am of the opinion that a good pair of Converse are not really worth much unless you have demonstrated that they have been used at least a bit, and this is the reason I always give as to why they have become a symbol of the best concerts, and are presumably the most...

When you get tired of fashion blogs and then… you realize you have one!

To be sincere, I never considered this a fashion blog, actually. Not exclusively a fashion blog, I mean. When I first opened it almost five years ago it was no other thing than a place where to share the things that inspired me. By that time I was both working...

Remember Pulp Art Book, that super cool project in which Neil Krug took pictures of Joni Harbeck with a very cinematographic mood? We talked about it in here two years ago (does time also fly for you that fast!?) when they were just presenting it in New York and today they will be opening...

Coveting Now: Acne Jasper Travel Purse

There it goes, to the top of our wish-list, the new Jasper Travel purse by Acne. We love it because it irresistibly smells like Spring and because the word ‘travel’ is included in its name. The union of these two factors together is also commonly known as pure perfection. You can buy it online,...

‘Electric Sheep’ – Hernández Cornet A/W 13/14

Last January 29th, the Hotel Berns hosted the Max Factor award which this year went to the designer Ana Hernández. The idea behind this collection was the teenager psyche refusing the concept of adulthood. This notion led to an interesting use of forms that combined the 90’s minimalism, with sharp tailoring and the occasional volume. The...

Red Suede Heels – Latest Shopping Delights

It must have been a conspiracy of the elements; there’s no other possible explanation for the fact that buying these amazing red suede sandals (a.k.a. the per-fect shoe) and the change in temperature have exactly happened at the same time. And now, there we are, waiting for the eternal Californian spring to come back… The red...
