SILVER LAKE — When isn't Los Angeles County Store (4333 W Sunset Boulevard) hosting an amazing trunk show? This weekend is no exception, and on Saturday from 12-2pm, the studio space will open its doors to Shop Miguez. The brand is known for its simple, chic, hand-stamped brass jewelry, emblazoned with positive messages and cool slogans. Since the Cali-based shop is online only, this is a great chance to see the wares in person and pick out the ones that speak to you. These mantra cuffs are where it's at.
