A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.

After two years of wanting to attend Unique LA, I finally made it!

Walking through the 13th floor of the California Market Center was overwhelming at first. There was a sea of booths of brilliant lifestyle brands. As an indie business owner, their clean designs and displays really inspired me. 

For a gal that loves chocolate and anything that’s considered a sweet, it was heaven. Vendors were handing me free samples left and right.

The photos above show off a few of the booths I visited and all the goodies I picked up. The bottom photo - I met one of the founders of Pocket Square Clothing (on the right, Rodolfo Ramirez)! I really admire the work he’s done.

If you’re free tomorrow (May 12), the spring show will be there for one more day! It’s only $10 and a portion of the proceeds benefits DWC. Plus, you get free drinks and a photo booth photo.Check out the Unique USA for more info on future events.

April 30, 2013 - Last Night in Vegas.

Last night my wife and I went to see Mystere and it was awesome. I couldn’t believe how many people were wearing t-shirts, baseball caps and shorts, though. Come on, people! You are going out to a show, dress up a bit! I’m not saying wear a suit, but at least tuck in your shirt. And leave the shorts in your room.

The folks over at T.M.Lewin sent me this charcoal 100% wool suit. It is a nice slim fit and doesn’t break the bank!  I am also wearing a tie from the dudes over at Pocket Square Co., they have some great and affordable ties and bow ties… and pocket squares (duh).

Suit: Hoxton 2 Button Charcoal - c/o T.M.Lewin
Shirt: Zachary Oxford in Lavender - $45 - Frank & Oak
Shoes: J. Shoes Charlie - Jack Threads
Belt: Etched Plaque - Banana Republic (c/o)
