Hot New Pick: Motif LA

Stories 15 Jan 2012 Mar Yvette

Although I do drop in from time to time, I’m not a big fan of the main drag along Robertson Boulevard. The parking, the people, the plethora of pricey, uber-trendy products … it’s all a bit too much. (Although I kinda love the new Rebecca Taylor shop–such incredible sales!) But far from the madding crowd, south of the epicenter of Robertson, is where you’ll find Motif LA, a cool new space that is both a cute little cafe and a real retail find. Think free WiFi, yummy organic food and one of the best secret shopping nooks in the city.
