Music, Fashion and Art – Los Angeles Style

This past weekend I headed out to L.A. with friends. We started in Santa Ana (The OC!) to see an exhibition by Matt Moore called Cumulus at the Grand Central Art Center.

Matt was artist in residence and created a piece marking the L.A .Aqueduct’s 100th anniversary. He used decommissioned scavenging planks and films of clouds and growing fields which were projected on the planks perfecting using a system called Mad Mapper.  The piece was amazing. Head out to Santa Ana before January 2014 to see it.

On Saturday we went to the The folk fest on the Santa Monica Pier. Music, Beer from Sierra Nevada, Sun and Sand – that’s a yes! The show closed with Neko Case – a personal favorite!

 

 

On Sunday during the day we shopped Melrose Place in West Hollywood and A visit to the New BookMarc and Kate Spade Saturday were the highlights!

Finally getting around to posted which Vera Scarf I selected from this Summers Collection for Target. I stood there for a very long time trying to make a decision. I own several vintage Vera scarves but they are all the short neck kerchief style so I don’t wear then very often. These new ones are the long fabulous style that you can wear year round, we’ll in sunny Phoenix anyway.  I really do love everything Vera. So here is my selection, chosen because Orange is my favorite color, I wear a lot in the citrus family and I am a big fan of butterflies:

I don’t own this scarf but love it so much I had to post it since it is summer time, grilling season!
