Here in LA, shopping isn’t just something to do when you are bored. It’s often a hobby and for some it’s a pasasion! My passion happens to be about getting things FOR LESS and here’s some great upcoming events that you need to put on your calendar (and they will be put on the LA-Story.com calendar as well. What? You didn’t know there was a calendar? OMG– how silly of me not to tell you. It’s right below my logo on the bar where it says about, media and other stuff. So click on calendar and stay up to date on what’s going on in So. CA and even other places that I LOVE!
