105 : unique LA

We had a blast today. Where were we? At the....


The Unique LA show had an amazing group of vendors from in and around LA. The booths were filled with anything from art, to jewelry, to clothing/accessories, to gourmet eats, to books/stationery items and more. It was a visual overload. SO much to see! With the complimentary totes in hand we tackled each and every one of the over 300 vendors and by the time we were through we were both happy and dizzy from the swirl of visuals everywhere. Some of the graphic design highlights of the day were the unique business cards including one from a fashion designer printed on khaki fabric and another printed on corrugated cardboard.

We even picked up some fun stuff while we were there. One of the first purchases was a bottle of hand lotion from further soap, whose products are made using the glycerin from biofuel. Eco-friendly and the sent of the products is amazing. From Klean Spa, we picked up a Yuzu scented spray (Jen) and Pomegranate-Fig lotion (Monique). And can't forget the gourmet eats...from Ococoa we picked up gourmet chocolate and then famished from all the walking we stopped off midway at the "cafe" section of the show. There we sat down to a pastrami sandwich and caprese sandwich from fresser's. As we headed back on the last course of the show, we spotted a popsicle cart. From popshop, we grabbed an avocado/vanilla popsicle (Jen) and a lychee popsicle (Monique) for the rest of the journey. We even had a happy ending and ran into one of our old school friends Traci as we were heading out. :)

What a great day.
