The last of us… leaving LA – Part 3
All good things must come to an end. And vacations even more so! So this is the last post about my LA trip. And probably the last regularly schedule post you’ll get for a while. Just setting expectations… The great thing about being kooky and not afraid to show it, is that you’re not embarrassed…

A little of Us and LA – Part 2
Okay so here are more pictures of us at the beach. It’s a different beach, but at the end of the day it’s still girls + sand and sun… And what else can I say about it?

Now imagine us in Los Angeles – Part 1
You’ve seen where we’ve been. And you probably figured out what we were up to. But here are few hundred shots of us being us. Let’s start off with some beach time. We were cute, we had just unpacked. And we were holding steady with 2 or 3 coffee drinks a day. Of course, we…

The Far East (Part 2)
We ended ethnic explorations in Chinatown. It was a great opportunity to not visit galleries, eat Chinese food and buy a ridiculous amounts of tiny keepsakes. It’s like all of the stores in Chinatown were made with us in mind, filled with a completely random variety of shiny things. We wandered around, nibbled on baos…

Wait – there was more…
Here’s a handful of the other places that we went to while we were in LA. In a thousand words or less… with the mention of the best Ice Cream sandwich I have EVER had. And if you know me, you know – I’ve had quite a few ice cream sandwiches (but that’s not saying…

The Far East – LA Style (Part 1)
There were two places I was most excited to go to in LA – Little Tokyo and Chinatown. I was mostly excited because there were some super progressive art galleries in these area. I wanted to go and pretend to be sophisticated and artistically deep. Of course we were in that part of town on…

Hanging Out in Compton
There is nothing more fun than a quick road trip. And even though we knew LA traffic was bad (and apparently never clears up), we decided to head south for an afternoon. So we hopped into our rental car and drove all the way to Compton. For the art. And the Waffles. Okay, I was…

Santa Monica – you can not lure me with your Rollercoaster!
Ahh Santa Monica, you have a pretty beach – but I already learned my lesson on Venice Beach. And you might be awfully proud of your pier and roller coaster, but – none of that for me. I came for the farmers’ market and city slogan. Really. We did the whole walk down to the…

Beach Bummin’
There’s something about being in California and going to the beach. It’s almost like it’s mandatory – if you are in CA, and at all close to the beach, you must go. To be entirely honest – I feel the same way about Florida, like if I’m in the state and I don’t have sand…

Dinner at the Edison
You can’t go to LA without having an evening at the Edison Bar. Well, you can – if you’re not really into steampunky stuff, well-made classic cocktails, an environment that never stops being amazing or a real people watching crowd. If none of that appeals – then go where ever you want to… However, all…
