the getty villa.

Today was a gorgeous day off of work! My friend Amanda (as I have said in previous posts is an Art History Major) needed to find a sculpture to write about at the Getty Villa. I was so stoked when she wanted me to come with her! I had never been to the getty villa and was thrilled I had someone to go with :) Our friend Stephanie and her mom came as well...It was a nice little outing! Below are a few of the sculptures or items I found to be facinating, but I took like a million pictures
What I am wearing:
Top: Emma and Sam (LF stores)...I absolutely liivee in my basics
Jeans: J Brand..ive got wider hips and smaller legs so J Brand is my favorite!
Lace Bra: Honeydew
Boots: my NEW Jeffrey Campbell boots!!! Got them as an early chrismakkah prezie :)
sunglasses: vintage from Bargain Boutique
Bag: Zara...in love..and really inexpensive, I figured as a trend I should stick to inexpensive :)

Statuette of a Gladiator..gladiators would put them in their pockets as a protective amulet..i wanted one!

remarkable jewelry that i wanted to wear!!!

Leda and the Swan..discovered in 1775..this one reminded me of Bjork ;)

Muse..the muses were nine goddesses of the arts and sciences who inspired poets and philosophers..i loved her hair and the fact that this statue was a profile

Ancient glass that blew me away..I can't believe things like glass can be THAT old and in tact

filth mart & the closet

My really good girlfriend Amanda told me about a vintage store named Filth Mart and couldn't wait to take me! It is a little hole in the wall with the best vintage I have seen yet!! Anything from Rolling Stone Tees, to Levi denim vests, and even handmade vintage sweatshirts by Darren Le Gallo!! I am definitely going to save up my paycheck for one of his sweatshirts ($250). I mean ya its really expensive, but you are wearing a piece of art, literally!! I tried to find his artwork online, but I couldn't find anything except this. The pieces he makes for Filth Mart are one of a kind and totally random. He makes it up as he goes with skulls, faces and quotes. Filth Mart is located on N. Fairfax Ave and their number is 323.848.8613. Check out their website here.
Along with checking out Filth Mart I came across a commercial for another buy-sell-trade company called The Closet. It just so happens it is only 15 min away from my house! I wasn't expecting much, but as soon as I walked in I already found things I would buy. Mind you I live in a town where True Religion Brand jeans and a sparkly top are the hottest thing around, so to my surprise there was more to this little resale boutique. Not only did I find $70 Frye mint condition boots (that I had to squeezzeeee my lil foot into) I found a silk leopard dress (totally not into leopard but for some reason this dress was perfect to me) I also picked up a pair of classic ray ban ish knockoffs. I am such a happy camper with all of my purchases!! The owner is named Johanna and she was the nicest girl ever! She even owns the one in Santa Barbara on State Street! Check her website out here.

Last, but not least I had to go back to CT Nails in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd. Their number is 323.656.6189. They do amazing airbrush!!!! (Soixante Neuf hammered ring)
