SHOP / TIME TRAVEL MART

I’ve seen the future at the Echo Park Time Travel Mart.  I drank robot milk, wore some chainmail and stuck a leech under my arm.  Living in the past and wanting to create a better future?  Then you must visit this amazing store.  This shop has every thing you could ever desire, such as this perfect  yellow Ricky Martin cap for only $149.99.  You could also pick up your very own Victorian iPod, dinosaur eggs, or choose from a variety of mustaches to wear.  Perfection.

How did I come across the world’s most innovative store?  I have been looking for volunteer opportunities and a very cool 10th grader name Ana referred me here.  The space which is run by the non-profit 826LA offers tutoring for kids ages 6 – 18, specializing in their creative and expository writing skills.  You can even find books written by the students who are tutored there. Store in the front, kids in the back, creativity everywhere.  I look forward to the adventure that awaits me.

SHOP / NEW HIGH (M)ART

New High (M)art describes itself as a store that blurs the lines between art, fashion, and commerce. This is absolutely the kind of concept that draws me into a space.  When I got hung up on a pair of deadstock Melissa rubber clogs I was thrilled when my search brought me to New High Mart.  Not only did they have the amazing clogs but they offered an incredible display of designer wares.

If you seek out the obscure, limited edition or hard to find dead-stock, this store is place dreams are made of.  For example, they have the black oversized Wayfarers sported by Beyonce – which I looked ridic in – they carry Mexican designers Teamo and their current installation is Wool and the Gang.  What more could you ask more?
