Although we rarely venture out of our lovely neck of the woods, some events are totally worth the trek. One of those haps is Art Basel Miami, which went down last week and inspired a number of our city's top talents to head east for some art-filled and music-fueled fun. Taking a quick break from their COUP! holiday pop-up, LA designers Lisa Ziven and Dakota Solt of Crybaby Presents hit the scene for us, and they've got the pictures to prove it.

From checking out work by LA artists like Alex Israel (who could forget his awesomely random Q&A with Rachel Zoe?) to partying with Azealia Banks, Terry Richardson and Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso, check out the gallery for 13 of Ziven and Solt's favorite moments.
