Photo Diary: Los Angeles

Los Angeles is really starting to grow on me even though I despise the traffic with a passion. Last night I attended the VV Brown concert and had such a blast. She was sooo good. Tuesday night I headed down to LA after work to really get a good day in in LA and my good friend/MUA, Crystal and I started the day with some great breakfast at Joans On Third. Afterwards we did some vintage shopping and roamed the areas of the city of angels. It was surprisingly a hot day at 80 degrees, so it was perfect, not a cloud in site. I can't wait to be back soon, the holidays definitely call for another visit...for xmas shopping, duh!

Photo Diary: Lake Tahoe

An impromptu trip to Tahoe with my best friends was definitely needed this past Labor Day weekend. I was able to soak up a ton of sun, party, hike around Emerald Bay, shake my ass, and catch up with my friends. The weather was so beautiful and the air was so crisp you couldn't help but go out and do something whether it was tanning, swimming, kayaking, hiking, or anything else that involved the great outdoors. I cannot wait to be back during the winter season when it's all white, snowy & cold. I definitely need to dust off my board and visit the slopes next season!

Photo Diary: NYC

I can't wait to be back in the Big Apple. I'm looking into moving out there sometime next Fall and I really have my heart set on it. There's really no place like NYC. I really felt comfortable with the city during my second visit and it surprisingly felt like I never left when I first visited back in 2009. It feels so exhilarating to be in such an excitingly hectic, yet incredibly inspiring city like New York. Plus the shopping shits on California. I definitely did some retail damage at my favorite nyc-only retailers...a little too much.

Vegas 2011

OMG. Las Vegas was incredibly fun despite some drama, but I will definitely never forget this trip. I've learned that Vegas is not a vacation destination for me... well at least for a long time. I cannot stand the smell from smoking in the casinos, crowds, constant drinking/partying, and the heat. I enjoyed myself with some of my favorite family and friends by attending pool parties VIP at WET and Encore Beach. Tao was also fun, but I guess any place is fun given the right amount of alcohol in your system...

Vacation: Lake Tahoe

I'm in desperate need of a vacation with my BFF's. The last time I got to see a majority of them was in June during my grad party, but for some reason I have this urge to be with them. I think this whole "living away from home to work," is making me miss home a bit, but I guess that goes with the territory of having a really good job. One of my BFF's is planning her 23rd birthday and she's narrowed her decisions to either Lake Tahoe or Los Angeles. From Lulu's photos of her recent vacay, I've obviously chosen which place I'd like her to chose. I haven't been to Tahoe at all this year, and my family snowboards every winter season, so I'm itching to visit the lake during it's summer season. I've heard a ton about Emerald Bay, and the photos of Lulu's friend's jumping off the cliff's into the water looks like so much fun! I NEED TO GO TO TAHOE STAT.
