This week in Los Angeles was a reminder of why i call this city my home. i was able to sit at my desk and work out of my office everyday, see some of my closest friends and begin to settle in to a new house. Moving in and unpacking boxes is a loaded experience for me. Not only do you have to sort out what to keep and not to keep but a floodgate of memories rushes in. A black halter top reminded me of a party at USC when i was 19 years old. More than a few vintage brown leather jackets and bellbottom flares bring flashbacks of my 70’s fashion obsession at one point in my life. Sometimes clothes can remind you of how far you’ve come. So far, i’m content with who i am today. That feels good.

Out with the old and in with the new! This Zara basic sandal garnered many compliments all over LA! It matches my YSL Cabas Chyc bag in bluette. For $50 this sandal is a must. i bought it in 3 colors and the girls from my office bought the all black pair on my recommendation. Instant classic.

The Pantages in Hollywood serves as a reminder of Broadway in New York…i love musicals. i waited for my car at valet across the street in front of Delphine restaurant at the W Hollywood. The elusive taxi cab made me do a double take! For a second, i wished i was back in New York 🙂

The view and gardens is reason enough to go to the Getty, but the current Herb Ritts: L.A. Style exhibit is worth the time to pause over beautiful photographs of celebrities, haute fashion and ponder the price of fame.
