Just a quick shout out to my family and some grainy 'on-the-go' iPhone snaps, which do the trick of capturing my main L.A. interests this past while:
1) Dining at some great restaurants. For burgers, some love In-N-Out, but I'm a Bob's Big Boy girl.

1930s style blouse + skirt: Nudeedudee; shoes: Re-mix Anita shoes |
2) Exploring all that Southern California has to offer! So far, lots of grand adventures, including two days at Disneyland.

Top: 1930s peasant blouse and 1930s striped beach bag; skirt: Nudeedudee; shoes: Re-mix Emily sandals |
3) Dancing! I've twirled and charleston-ed at the amazing Art Deco Cicada Club several times now, but there are other great places to go, like Joe's in Burbank.

I've also been spending lots of time with great friends and have done some volunteering. My cup runneth over!
Always a pleasure to visit California!!! I have quite the same picture with "Big Boy" in April and also went in Cicada to met Keely Smith... and went to Disneyland 4 years ago!!!!
ReplyDeleteVintage lovers always end in the same places...
I have a peasant blouse just like the one in your second photo that was my grandmother's, and it's one of my favorite oldthings. Hoping you enjoyed LA-dventures!

ReplyDeleteLove seeing candid snaps of you, elegant as always! x
ReplyDeleteI can never get enough your superbly styled, timelessly lovely outfits. Inspiring travel looks, dear gal - love that you were out on the west coast (albeit in a different country) recently (Cali and B.C. aren't that far apart after all).
