The Graffiti Beach Summer Sanctuary Pop-Up proved to be a success Saturday hosting 11 vendors, three artists and live music at the Angeleno Hotel in Brentwood. Fashion forward attendees partied poolside enjoying the summer sun while sipping on Pina Coladas. The event also doubled as Graffiti Beach founder Melanie Michaud's 30th birthday bash. Later in the day, beach bodies modeled bikinis and leggings on the runway.

Olguitas, G.A.Y. Sandals, HerrDogHouseBoutique and Mr. Kate were a few of the pop up shops debuted at the event. Clothing vendors included Arka, Redhawk Brigade and Aila Blue. Bikinis were on sale from Lolli Beach Candy and Acqua Couture Swim.

We caught performances by Hey You! and Connie Lim.

There were a ton of noteworthy pop-up shops in attendance including:

Mr. Kate 

Mr. Kate, a jewelry line, combined aspects of femininity and machismo elements into their accessories marrying two iconic images: the beauty mark and mustache into their logo.

Nuts and bolts were on display and blended nicely with feminine jewelry pieces including rings and necklaces.  With a background in metalsmith and contemporary art jewelry, Kate's line  has been worn by celebrities on the red carpet.

Olguitas

Perfect for summer, Olguitas sandals were on display at the Graffiti Beach event.When we spoke with Luciana Valente, creatore of Olguitas, she mentioned that the inspiration came from Buenos Aires and street fashion. Her sandals were super comfy and combined street chic and comfort. 

For the future, she plans on using vibrant colors and even animal prints in her designs. Definitely keep an eye out for: www.olguitas.com













HerrDogHouseBoutique 
If you've kept up with Disarray Magazine's fashion coverage, then you already know about HerrDogHouseBoutique and the colorful accessories they have to offer. HerrDogHouse offered colorful hair accessories and beautiful necklaces at the poolside event. Without a doubt, the mother-daughter team is making sure their name is known. 


When we spoke with Ninfa Herrera, the daughter of the team, she explained that her jump start into HerrDogHouseBoutique was due to a layoff. Ladies, Ninfa is proof that when one door closes, another one opens and in this case, a fashionable one!



Check out our coverage of HerrDogHouseBoutique from the Music Box Bikini Rock event.

We ran into Gabrielle Yacoob again and this time, she showed us her new designs. If you've never heard of G.A.Y. Sandals, you should know that the soles of the sandals are taken from used tires. What better way to be fashionable than by wearing eco-friendly styles?

Did we mention that we were ecstatic to see our photo in Gabrielle's look book?
