CITY OF ANGELS.

As the weather was warming up in Los Angeles, we decided to spend the day hiking up Runyon Canyon and the Hollywood Observatory. 

Runyon was an absolute dream. I can't explain to you how peaceful it was, despite the hundreds of people around you. If I had to call anywhere in the world my "happy place"- that would be it.  I also got a parking ticket for "blocking the driveway", which to be honest, I was kind of excited about because I felt like an adult haha. 

Of course we ended up back at Whole Foods for dinner (making that the fifth time in four days), and crashed at like 8:00pm.

P.S. I thought it was interesting that someone commented that my Celine purse looked too "posh" for an outfit consisting of flannel and denim.  The way I look at it is: fashion isn't meant to be taken so seriously :) It's just a purse, and if it makes me happy... you sure bet I'll wear it!

HOLLYWOOD HILLS.

Friday was a day that brought on confusion: it was supposed to rain and be cold. What really happened? It was warm and sunny. Thanks California ;) 

We decided to drive up the Hollywood Hills, which let me tell you, is overwhelming in the best way possible. The views, the houses, and the roads are everything you would think they'd be. Then we drove to Toluca lake because we expected to see celebrities jogging and paparazzi on every corner... that didn't happen. We ended up doing some shopping at the Third Street Promenade, which is when I decided to change into my new wildfox jumper. We had dinner at Urth Caffe again, because it was that good yesterday. From now on it'll only get warmer, so say hello to the denim cut offs :)

Another beautiful day in Los Angeles: complete! 

We started the morning at Urth Caffe, which I knew would be amazing but wasn't sure if it was worth the hype. Let me assure you, it is definitely worth the hype. I don't think I've ever had a better breakfast, and that says a lot coming from a breakfast connoisseur like myself (get a granola bowl or the banana nut oatmeal and a boba).

We then went on a walk down Rodeo drive and ended up at Sprinkles, which I certainly didn't mind. The european architecture and overall feel of Rodeo drive was beautiful, and we did indeed see a million-dollar car as rightfully expected.

We drove back to Santa Monica and shopped around at Buffalo Exchange, and then had dinner at Whole Foods (again...)

I chose a monochromatic combination of a silk cami and skirt to purposefully match the elegance of Beverly Hills, and matched it with a sea foam green cardigan for contrast and warmth.

FIRST DAY IN L.A.

How would I describe the first day in LA? Oasis.
We got in last night and instantly went for a walk outside and breathed in the tropical air, wandered around gas stations and settled on a pint of ice cream from Ralph's. 

Today we started our day off at 7AM thanks to jet lag, but it was actually quite nice because we got a lot of things done within the day. We walked to Whole Foods for grocery shopping and grabbed breakfast (...and chocolate) while we were there. From then on, we got lucky enough to be able to have access to a car to drive to West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, which is where we mostly spent the day. Everyone in LA uses this "cold" weather to their advantage and breaks out cute winter coats, whereas I whip out my t-shirts ;)

We had dinner at Katsuya on Hollywood and Vine (Hillary Duff song memories, anyone?) and then drove back home.

Unfortunately we didn't get insanely lucky with the weather, but that's not going to stop me from having an amazing time.

See you in 90210 tomorrow.
