Zooey Magazine had the honor to attend the Unique LA's Local Love event this past weekend. The event was hosted on the 13th floor of The California Market Center in Downtown LA, a floor big enough for thousands. Los Angeles residents came out to support local businesses and to show appreciation for extraordinary artists, all of who have their own way of crafting together projects. Vendors ranged from artwork to stationary goods, and let's just get this out of the way, the Zooey team wanted to purchase everything. Essentially an Anthropologie-esque event, Local Love was a success! It was the perfect weekend to delight locals with shopping and sampling...Local Love was a marvelous feast of crafts. If you are interested in attending the next event, visit the Unique LA's website to keep updated.
