Are you over summer selfies filling your social media feed?

We totally understand – don’t worry.

Before we jump in, totally cool if your personal feed is selfie filled. Freedom of choice is good – & 100% protects your right to post selfies.

Unless you can find someone to take your picture for you, or you have a camera-shy travel buddy willing to “take one for the team”, it’s hard to get great pictures of you without having to flip that phone around.

We don’t want you to be “forced” into another selfie post this summer, so let barrio.la be your guide & host to a fun L.A. adventure.

Let us take your picture!

wandering L.A. – one neighborhood at a time – we come across a lot of rad spots to take pictures.

Every so often we’re lucky enough to have someone snag a photo of us, like recently – when our friend, & contributing writer Anne Stericker of Annelovescoffeemore.com took the pressure off us & snapped away at one of our favorite go-to’s, Lincoln Heights.

Co-founders Jen & Rick Kanter #toocoolforselfies

Every day we explore different L.A. neighborhoods.

Meeting local, independent business owners – we share everything we do on Instagram & Facebook.

We also use every locally-made product we feature in our shop & our proud to work closely with all our independently-owned product partners.
