LA

THE JUMPSUIT







I'm definitely a jumpsuit kind of girl and this one is beauty.

When I was in Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of picking my favourite pieces from local label, Flynn Skye and shooting with my girl Chanelle Leslie on Venice Beach.

This is the final instalment of our collaboration - check out part one (CALI GIRL) and part two (TEAM PARIS).

There's definitely something about LA which brings out my inner beach babe.

Sun in the sky, sand in my feet.

Just before I left LA, I had the absolute pleasure of catching up with good friend, and fellow Aussie blogger/photographer/ all round amazing chic, Chanelle Leslie. We always seem to meet coincidentally in new cities - you can check out our last collaboration here, shot in Sydney.

We kicked off the day with THE most delicious acai bowls from one of my favourite cafe's along Abbot Kinney, before strolling along Venice Beach, to soak up the last of LA's summer rays.

One of the best things about travel for me is catching up with friends, new and old, sharing new

experiences, and of course creating memories in new and exciting locations.

A great day spent - here is part one of our impromptu California shoot.

Today we said goodbye to Los Angeles. We had such a great time in LA, such an exciting city! We were lucky to be in town around Academy Awards time, there was a great buzz to the place.

This morning we hired a Corvette and spent the day cruising along the coast, passing through Orange County and Laguna Beach, observing some of the most luxurious homes I have ever seen.

Tonight we arrived in San Diego (gas lamp quarter) and tomorrow, San Diego Zoo, Sea World, beaches and other attractions.

I'm wearing:
Zara blazer
Forever 21 skirt

P.S. A big thank you to Neekoh of Live Love LA who was kind enough to arrange a blogger catchup yesterday in LA. It was great to catch up with some fabulous LA based bloggers: Wrecked Stellar and Style with Benefits for brunch and a spot of shopping!

After a mammoth 14 hour flight, my fiance and I arrived in LA yesterday - and what a day it was...

We met some locals who showed us around Beverly Hills before checking in to our fabulous hotel - the  Shangri-La, Santa Monica . We were greeted by a team of lovely staff, each more than happy to help with some of LA's must see's and do's, great for us out-of-towners.

I love interiors, so our art deco inspired room is simply amazing, what's more a peek out of one of the many windows which encompass our room, reveals the most spectacular views of the gorgeous Santa Monica beach, which is but a stones throw away from our hotel .

After an afternoon of shopping along 3rd Street Promenade (a great shopping precinct), we headed down to the Staples Centre to take in a truly LA experience - a basketball game - LA Lakers vs Indiana Pacers. With Jack Nicholson and Ryan Gossling in sight, we enjoyed an evening of fun and entertainment, not to mention a Lakers win.

Today we are off to Venice Beach, some more shopping, the Hollywood tonight for dinner.
