IMPERFECTLY PERFECT // Mia Rigden
Just when I thought I didn't need another food centric Instagram feed to follow, I ran across Mia Rigden of Rasa Life. Without ever having met her, there was something about her vibe that felt super authentic, funny and worth following. She's a classically trained chef, a licensed holistic health coach, and currently completing a masters in nutrition- all of which makes me feel like she definitely knows whats up in the food world. Her recipes seem super delicious, down to earth, and she's up for adding some...

IMPERFECTLY PERFECT // Carson Meyer
I first met Carson last December at the Echo Park Craft Fair, and I'm not exaggerating when I say she was literally one of the nicest and most sincere people I've ever met.

So good, that its been worthy of multiple Kardashian mentions (no big deal)!
Growing up in Malibu, her ethos and compassion for...
IMPERFECTLY PERFECT // Sophie Monet
Los Angeles isn't short on talented artists. It truly is what makes it a great place to live. I'm very grateful to have met the exquisitely skillful jeweler and designer Sophie Monet, who as a Los Angeles native incorporates a style and aesthetic into her creations that feels uniquely modern, Californian, and timeless all within the same gorgeous pieces.
She works mostly from scrap wood in her fathers workshop studio (he's a sculptor), and shares an office with her sister. I couldn't be more inspired by the...
