More than chocolate

Belgian's importing some delicious little reggae-soul in the form of Selah Sue, a 20 year old singer/songwriter wielding an acoustic guitar & passionate, raspy vocals.

Dear Abby...

Deconstructing reality and reassembling its nuanced complexities into a psychedelic masterpiece is what San Diego artist, Abby Martin, does.  Creating high energy, passion filled artwork is just how she rolls.  While Martin works with myriad mediums, her mixed media and acrylic pieces are what got my heart racing, brain gears turning.  Next time you're feeling a little underwhelmed, your brain in need of some creative stimulation, get your ass off the couch and head out to PB - you can check her stuff out at Pangaea Outpost on Garnet.  Or you can visit her website at www.abbymartin.org.

Leather Bound.

CHI Stylezs.  San Diego-based label promoting the
 infinite chi, sharing positive energy with every soul it touches, and handcrafting just-plain-sick leather accessories from reusable resources.  Discovered them at the Hillcrest Farmers' Market.
Kind of obsessed with the rainbow leather cuff.

MATERIAL Things

 While sipping on a satisfying Iced Mexican Mocha, courtesy of Claire de Lune's, I strolled into MATERIAL, a little North Park boutique I've been wanting to check out. So glad I did - the place was rad. The owner, Dave, was super friendly and laid-back, in his fresh little fedora. The space was cozy and eclectic, with an artsy urban vibe. Cultured. Great selection of men's & women's apparel - Classic Levi's. Mavi. Great little Free People frocks. Funky accessories.  Pretty much, I wanted everything.  Just an all around cool spot to shop.  If North Park is this up-and-coming neighborhood where local artists thrive, then MATERIAL is perfectly North Park.  Check it out.  I think you'll dig it.
