After swinging by the Black Milk Clothing warehouse for a sample sale, we decided to explore Arts District, a sub-neighborhood of DTLA.

The Good Liver may be the most charming boutique I’ve ever visited. This general shop contains a curated array of high-quality, exquisitely designed products. The goods imported from international brands and makers from many regions.

From beauty products to appliances, The Good Liver’s catalog touches upon every aspect of life at home.

I want a set of these modern, unique copper mugs to make Moscow mules. Two shiny, two frosted.

This shop is inspiring me to plan the most whimsical picnic that I can imagine.

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover – the exterior is as minimalist and unassumingly beautiful as the interior. This delightful shop is definitely worth a peak next time you’re in Arts District.

I spotted these seriously adorable pink cutout cookies at Sweet Lady Jane Bakery. The bright, neon shade of pink caught my eye. I went to investigate after I finished up herbed scrambled eggs at this charming bakery, located on Montoya Ave. in Santa Monica.

Although Sweet Lady Jane is famous for its decadent layered cakes, the bakery also offers brunch and a host of other goodies like scones, croissants, and French macarons. These pink chick sugar cookies inspired by Easter Peeps look almost too pretty to eat.

I was inspired enough to go on a Peep investigation to see what other creations that Peeps have inspired!

The Jelly Belly factory is relatively close to my hometown in Northern California – it was a fun field-trip growing up. I would LOVE to visit the Peeps headquarters and take a tour.

I always love the time of year when Peeps (all species!), Cadbury creme eggs, and egg shaped Reese’s pop up in stores! What springtime candy do you love?

Have you seen this enchanting live flower installation that teamLab dreamed up? This floating garden reacts to your movement in the space – each blossom moves to create a dome overhead as your explore.

Each flower is alive, growing and reacting to its environment. Thus, each visitor will experience the garden uniquely because it is always changing. The garden will be in bloom through Spring at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan.
