did we find a hidden gem in the vast urban sprawl of los angeles? you tell us. cafe birdie isn’t new, new but it does seem to have not gotten the hype it deserves. within the framing of a 20s’ architectural dream are the interiors of a Parisienne cafe designed by etc.etera — it’s pretty much all you could wish for and it’s in quiet highland park. we look to local L.A. designer staud for the threads needed to ready us for a dinner at birdie, and accessories from pretty much all our favorite indie designers. this week’s read this there is the idiot by elif batuman — a truly smoldering summer read (and not one of those vapid beach novels), plus the cover is millennial pink, how could you not love?!
