Yesterday I went to the Clover Canyon sample sale and it was a madhouse! The prices were phenomenal and I found a few dresses and tops for about a quarter of the usual retail price. I should have been better prepared for this one and worn something close-fitting to make it easier to try the dresses on – I was in a big sweatshirt and had such a hard time changing in the crowd of shoppers and with racks of clothes everywhere. It was all worth it for the cute things I found but next time I go to a sample sale I’ll definitely dress for it. One of my San Francisco girlfriends always wears a leotard with a long, flowy skirt over it and flip flops to make it easier to try clothes on at these sales – you can easily pull a pair of pants or shorts up under the skirt and tops are easy to slip over the leotard.
It was fun to get a glimpse of the factory where they make their fabulous clothes. I love supporting LA designers and manufacturers.
On our way back to the car we found this great pizza place:
The slices were fantastic! Whenever I visit downtown LA – also known as DTLA – I find these great spots that make me not miss NYC so much.
My Sicilian piece was called the ‘Grandma Bess’ and it was spectacularly full of organic Roma tomatoes, basil, Parmesan and garlic galore!
My boyfriend’s slice had cornmeal on the crust which is my absolute favorite! His ‘Magic Chicken’ slice was a little spicy but so good. I finished my piece and then ate the crust off of this one.
You can’t tell from that bag of clothes on my lap how cute everything is in there but I’ll share pictures with you next week. I’m going to a Mother’s Day beauty event on Saturday and I’m excited to wear one of my Clover Canyon finds.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and get to spend time with your loved ones!
