I attended a fabulous event, Swap Your Style, at Give + Take in Santa Monica. I brought items I haven’t worn (or no longer wear) and swapped them for some really cool clothes and accessories. Here are the pics from the event.
I stopped by Viewpoint School’s Invention Convention to check out my son’s science project. Very cool!
