Definitely check out Foley + Corinna’s sale, starting Thursday, January 31st, which includes handbags at deep discount, tops, dresses and more. This is the first-ever sale in its LA boutique, which opened not long ago, and in celebration, expect bubbly and small bites. If you can’t make it, they’ll even ship.

Ranging from $285-$900, these shell and gem rings by Mesi Jilly would be a real splurge (vivre.com), but they sure are pretty. Of course, I always love turquoise ($680), but I think in this instance the coral ($815) ring is my favorite.

First of all, I love the way this cat is clearly so content. Sleek architectural design, and very functional for some serious scratching. The best part is that the Sweet Lounge is only $159 (designpublic.com), which may seem a bit much for cat furniture, but I’d love to have this in my place regardless.

I guess they’re really trying to move those Sweetzer apartments I posted about previously, or maybe that’s the problem, they’re not moving…. This is the big sign on Beverly Boulevard, close to Jian Korean BBQ, in fact.

I posted sometime ago about Jian Korean BBQ coming to Beverly and Sweetzer. It’s been covered up for months, but it’s finally revealed, though not yet open. Looks big, hope it’s good, as this would be an excellent addition to the hood. Below are more exteriors and a couple - albeit dark - interior shots.

Sunday, January 27th from noon-5:00PM, 3rd Street boutique Aero & Co. is having a trio of sample sales from Figmint, Jenny Dayco, and Ponderosa. What better combo than shopping, beer, and cupcakes? You also gotta appreciate this image, which shows that getting older can be a good thing.

I don’t get up to Sunset Plaza much, but this up-to-70%-off sale might just lure me up there from French label Zadig & Voltaire. Starts Friday, January 25th from 5:00PM-9:00PM, and goes through Saturday and Sunday. Gratis bubbly on Friday.

This sign in front of a bank in Sao Paulo cracked me up. It’s so much more expressive than the usual marked disabled parking spots - you can almost feel the ache in the back.
