Portraits of Mid-Wilshire

Many of LA’s most creative folks call Mid-wilshire home.

VoyageLA is all about supporting creatives and risk takers – from makeup artists, fashion designers and music producers to chefs, entrepreneurs and more.  In our Portraits series we try to celebrate their work by sharing some of our favorite shots we’ve come across.  We’ve share shots from Mid-Wilshire and the surrounding communities below.

Project Manager & Designer Elisa Baran

Good morning! Just wanted to voice that some design elements don’t come right away. We just installed these custom handles in #project1103. I had a vision and drawing of what I wanted these to look like from the beginning, but sometimes the execution doesn’t come instantly. I’m so happy with the way they turned out! They are made out of hammered steel and heavy enough to feel expensive and sturdy, but not too heavy to open and close the doors. 🍾 Happy Friday!

Random Selfie. I Didn't Post A New Years Pic Talking About What 2017 Ment To Me, So Here It Goes. 2017 Is Officially The Past. All We Have Is This Moment, Its A New Year And Everyday Is A Reflection Of That, Being A New Day. May We Love More, Listen More, And Follow More, Not Trends But Intuition. May We Love Our Neighbors And Listen To Our Intuition, Follow Our Hearts And Make Time To Smell The Roses 🌹 Be You And Do You, All Year Long🎈

Today has been good and productive, but I just really miss my dog. So if you are in LA and want to let me borrow your dog to cuddle for a minute I’d be so so grateful (I have already over used my invitation from @ashleylakely to snuggle her puppy so I need a new dog owner to mooch love off of).

✨Wavy❤️✨ Hair Specs: @rejuvagrowhair Russian Wavy (1) 10/12” (2) 14/16” Bob Cut & waved. I spray with @rejuvagrowhair Care texture/holding spray, use a @celebutonstyle 1 1/2” flatiron for this and wave every other piece, & apply @rejuvagrowhair Gloss drops, and you’re done! Hope the style tip helps❤️.
