Find Your Fiber
Sara Taylor's Find Your Fiber website offers pre-made macrame pieces, DIY kits and a schedule of monthly local workshops for those curious about string theory. But it's also got a healthy helping of you-go-girl attitude leavened with just enough vulnerability to not come across as annoying – much like her teaching persona in those workshops. Go on and gift yourself a few hours of using your fingers for something other than typing. You may find it soothes your heart as much as your brain.
Goods and Services: Best in local shops, boutiques, dog groomers and more
Gypset
Taking its name from the early-2000s coinage combining "gypsy" with "jet set" (cf. Julia Chaplin's coveted trilogy for publisher Assouline), Sam Redding's Gypset provides boho-chic adornment in a wide range of price points for both Coachella princesses and more-prim types. Go for a subtle turquoise cuff, or load up neck, wrists and ears with pieces dripping in geodes, quartz crystals, gemstones and rare hardwoods. Find the mobile boutique by following @gypsetco on Instagram or checking the website; Redding's adorable renovated trailer is posted outside East End Market for the month of August.
