West Side/Best Side

Well the trip to Los Angeles was wonderful. The perfect mix between fun and relaxation.

View from the rooftop. I spy the HOLLYWOOD sign.

Literally from the moment I stepped off the plane in Burbank I was taken all over the city by my personal L.A. tour guide who doubles as my best friend. I would say that the major points on our tour was any kind of food. I swear I have never eaten so much. Burgers at Umami and Stout, eggs benedict at Dusty's, individually brewed coffee at Intelligensia, the best sushi of my life at Sugarfish, and my new obsession with Mediterranean food at Spitz. 

The incredible architecture of the Getty Center.
Degas sculptures.
The gardens at the Getty.

Next to the food, my first trip to the Getty Center was the best part of my trip. Four hours of browsing the galleries, exploring the gardens, and taking in the views of L.A. from the balconies was pure bliss.

On top of everything, I was able to see some of my favorite Degas pieces that I have loved since I was little. They literally took my breath away and I even allowed myself to be a tacky tourist and take a picture of some of his famous sculptures.

Until next time.

It's not what you do, but who you are with.

Escape

This has been me the last 4 days. 

Be back tomorrow.

Until next time.

Basking in my final hours. 

Peace Out

Have you heard? I am going to L.A. today

Remember the white poncho I told you about yesterday? Well here it is posing on my sister's antique mannequin. (Awkward: I don't think mannequin's were made for poncho... just trust me when I say it looks better on)

Another purchase from yesterdays shopping trip. I wish that this picture would show off the incredible purple shade in the beads and I wish that I had gotten the designer's name who makes these! She is out of Amarillo and a sweetheart!

See that gold cuff on top of my clothes? It is shown in the first picture too as a necklace/headband. I think I am going to start referring to it as my magic band because that is what it is. This gold wire can be a headband, necklace, cuff or belt and I have been dreaming about it since before Christmas. Well yesterday I finally got it and I will most likely rock it every single day spent in L.A.

Chapel of Love, Hey Get in Lime!, Rumples Wiggin, and Houston We Have a Purple

You surely didn't think I would go to California without a mess load of nail polishes? On top of the colors I am already wearing (Essie's Playa del Platinum and Pool Boy) I am hoping to steal these OPI's from my sister to alternate the 4 days that I am there. 

Now it is back to the packing adventure. While I am in L.A. you can either expect more updates than usual or none at all. I plan on documenting every adventure while I am there, and might have to take a little blogging break. But expect some real life pictures soon after my arrival home!

Until next time.

Peace out. Life's a Beach.
