Shop Online and Support Local Artist

I know everyone is itching to get out of the house but, for the time being, a little retail therapy might help. Right now you can shop on-line and support local artists while giving back and helping them stay afloat during these difficult times. Plus, a discount is always an added benefit.


KBD is doing their part to give back. For every order placed by May 1st you’ll receive a 25% discount and 25% of all sales will go to Feeding America. Be sure to use code: FEEDINGAMERICA at checkout.

King Boutique – Grand Opening Party

I’ve been a long time fan of Terri King’s creations. In fact, I’m not the only one. Her list of celebrity clientele is extensive and her creations have appeared on numerous covers of Rolling Stone Magazine. Terri also specializes in creating custom clothing for film, television, and museums. She also designs bridal gowns (she made mine and I received many compliments since it was anything but traditional) and couture corsetry (Terri was the costume designer for the Bravo Reality T.V. series Forty Deuce).

Thread Show LA Fall/Winter 2011

The recent installment of Thread LA was a lot of fun. I’m not sure if it was the wide variety of vendors or the number of familiar faces. Either way, it was an enjoyable way to spend a Sunday as there were lots of bargains to be found.
