Lovely Los Angeles Memorabilia

Posted by liana in Los Angeles

Considering all the fake tanning, silly emphasis on cars and plastic surgery a good majority of Los Angeles residents are guilty of, it’s safe to say there’s a lot of cheese here. But beyond what people contribute to the lame-o factor of L.A., our city’s memorabilia does a lot of damage as well.

Here are a few of my favorite L.A.-themed finds:

I’m not entirely sure that this “I Heart L.A.” t-shirt by Los Angeles-based brand JOYRICH is worth the $44, but it’s definitely note worthy.  It’s the kind of shirt you can actaully wear in L.A. without looking like a nerd. A great take on the famous “I Heart NY” design.

Created by Ork, this Los Angeles neighborhood poster is stuffed with 111 neighborhoods and printed on 100 percent recycled paper with black soy-based inks. For $22, you can have the whole of L.A. hanging on your wall, even if traffic restricts you from getting to it all.

From Etsy designer dustDesignCo, these vintage Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) Transit token cufflinks are the definition of cool. Mounted on vintage silver cufflinks, they’re priced at $26 for the man in your life that appreciates style and nostalgia.
