Beautiful Things LA
I fell in love hard with the mobile boutiques we saw while visiting Portland, so you can imagine how happy I was to find out we have our own uhhhmazing mobile store right here in Los Angeles! And wow, is it gorge. Beautiful Things LA is the creation of mother-daughter team Susan Forrest-Reynolds and Lucia Reynolds, who purchased and renovated a 1991 Bluebird school bus to create some serious mobile magic. I was so happy to be able to chat with Lucia when I visited the bus over the weekend!
Chasing Waterfalls
So I am definitely, 100%, without a doubt, NOT athletically inclined. I hate working out and couldn't care less about most sports. The only sneakers I own are over a decade old and have hardly been worn. The closest I come to exercising is the occasional bike ride and some hardcore walking up and down Abbot Kinney Blvd while I shop - LOL. Yes, I'm definitely a lazy ass sloth. But every now and then Eddie convinces me to do a hike with him, as much as it pains me.
Cinespia: Wayne's World
It's finally Cinespia season again - party time, excellent! For those non-Angelinos, Cinespia is an awesome organization that hosts screenings of amazing films in Los Angeles, the most popular series being their Spring/Summer weekly showings at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. What could be more fun than getting together with friends, dressing up as your fave movie characters, having a big ol' boozy picnic, and watching an amazing film at night in a cemetery?!
Rancho Palos Verdes Cliffs
It's hard to believe the magical Point Vicente Lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes is only a 30 minute drive from where we live - the cliffs make me feel like I'm back on the east coast, somewhere in New England during a summer vacation. Just the fact that Rancho Palos Verdes is in LA County is kinda mind boggling! It feels so different from the hustle and bustle of the LA districts we frequent the most. Everything seems a bit more spread out, calm, and peaceful. That's one of the reasons I love Los Angeles, each part of the city is so different from the next. You could go surfing, mountain biking, and skiing all in the same day if you felt like it!
CicLAvia: Culver City Meets Venice
Los Angeles has this awesome event called CicLAvia where streets are closed down to cars and open for people to walk, skate, bike, play, and explore! Eddie and I try to always go when they have our fave route through Culver City, Mar Vista, and Venice. Apparently, it's the country’s largest open streets event!
Palisades Park
Eddie and I visited the beautiful Palisades Park in Santa Monica this week! I love coming here, it's such a pretty place for a picnic or a stroll. The park is located right on top of the bluffs next to Pacific Coast Highway and has the most breathtaking views of the ocean. You can see for miles along the coast!
