Quite Crafty: Renegade Craft Fair L.A.

The Renegade Craft Fair is in town and i'm so freaking pissed off that I have to work! I worked yesterday and i'm working again today! BUT i suppose it's all right, because apparently it's supposed to sprinkle again today and i don't play that game. Too bad, because i super enjoyed last year's fair and i bought some awesome soap from Bambu Earth that i wanted to get more of this time. I would order from their site but from my experience i feel like it would be best to smell all the soaps beforehand. I'm very picky with scents!

If i did however, have time to go check out the vendors this year, these would be my top picks:

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |

Luckily, they all have etsy shops or website you can order from! So hurray for all of us!

Also, while i was lurking through the web to see vendor websites from those who will be at the craft fair, i came across this photo of yours truly from here

glasses: warby parker, diy cut off cords, vintage crochet vest, Ladytron tee shirt,straw tote from Guanajuato,MX

lol. 

semi important question: should i re-dye all of my hair to the root again or just leave the tips growing out like they have been doing? hmm.

Window Shopping: J. Crew Jellyfish

You guys. I love creative displays. Usually I don't even look at what's on display at stores because I prefer to style my own outfits, but when I do look it's usually because there's some impressive artistic element to the window display design.  As you would guess, usually the winner in this category are all Anthropologie stores but this past week D and I went for a quick stroll at the mall and came across this display at J.Crew:

 Paper jellyfish! At first glance I thought it was wax paper that they used, but after some close inspection I'm gonna have to make an educated guess and say it's actually vellum. Expensive little art project eh? But don't worry, I'm sure you could use wax paper to attempt recreating these jellyfish. 

One of these days I'll give it a go, I have sheets of vellum leftover from drafting class that I certainly won't be using anymore. Will let you know if that pans out!

Leeds out!
