Vamp Shoes In Los Feliz
Today I stumbled upon Vamp Shoe’s blog and it has so much great shoe inspiration! (Shoespiration?) I’m already a fan of Vamp and own a number of shoes from the Los Feliz shop. Even when I’m “just looking”, I usually end up finding a pair that I have to own. Their inventory is not huge, but it’s quality with brands like French Sole FS/NY, Frye, Minnetonka, Swedish Hasbeens, Kork-Ease, Jeffrey Campbell and one of my favorites, Rachel Comey.
Vamp is conveniently located on Hillhurst Avenue right by the Steve Alan Outpost, so after you buy yourself some new shoes, you can empty rest of you bank account on slightly reduced button-down shirts!
I’m trying to ignore the fact that Vamp now has an online shop, too. Danger zone.

This new listing in Sierra Madre is a trip back in time–even farther than we usually go here on Take Sunset! The Pinney House (1887-88) was built by Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom, architects of many prestigious buildings during the 19th century, including the Carson Mansion in Eureka, Calif.

Subsequently, the Victorian estate served as a sanatorium, boarding house, dance studio, apartment complex and film location.
