Sometimes I feel I must be the worst trends blogger ever so, in a new delivery of my truest sincerity here comes another chapter of ‘How do I love boycotting my own trends research, myself’: I have to confess that, even though it was named America’s hippest hipster neighborhood last year by Forbes I...

After more than one year in L.A. I still feel like a newcomer; I guess it is a little bit complicated not to feel that way in such a big city, and that is why whenever somebody discovers something new to me I feel so grateful. Last Saturday I...

Ok, so this is the situation. It is Monday and you don’t feel like doing absolutely nothing because maybe you had an amazing weekend -let’s say maybe you attend to the cool Mack Sennett Studio’s opening party as I did (more about this tomorrow)- and still need time to recover from it or maybe you...

The other day one of my music-loving friends asked me which places I’d take Kevin Parker, leader of the band Tame Impala, if I were his guide during Primavera Sound. It was pretty clear that he wanted to test my knowledge of the city after living in Barcelona...

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...

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 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...

I met Gianni Gagliardi lots of years ago. I had not, actually, realized about it till I started writing this post but then I tried hard to remember and I think I can very accurately say it was eight years ago. It was his eighteenth birthday and by then he was just a shy...

The nice thing about starting following a brand from the very beginning is that you get to appreciate its evolution as it has been my case with Scandinavian jewelry brand Bjørg. Since the very first moment I discovered their pieces, always wrapped in a dark an esoteric aura, by the year 2009 I became...

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,...
