Michaela and I had a blast in LA. Due to a bunch of bullshit with my license/work visa I didn’t have a license and we weren’t able to rent a car, but Mike Ardelean and Nuno came through and really mad our trip work! Mike was amazing, he picked me up from the airport on Friday, took me out to dinner in Venice, then drove back to the airport to pick Michaela up, then took us to our hotel! Thanks so much Mike, you don’t know how great it is to have amazing friends.
On Saturday Michaela and I wondered down to Melrose and hit a few stores in the morning, then we met up with Mike and Stacey in the afternoon and they took us around the city. We checked out the Nike pop-up store that was in a movie theater with a rad Geoff McFetridge wallpaper piece on the exterior, checked out a few more streets, had some dinner, then headed over to Silver Lake for some drinks!
Sunday we chilled with Nuno and Polly. We started at the Grove mall, then hit the Fairfax flea market, then back to Melrose where we all got some good stuff at the Marc By Marc Jacobs store… I hadn’t been to that store before and I was psyched. There was a lot of good pieces and it was quite afordable… I picked up some tan jeans for $78! Michaela, Nuno, Polly and I all walked a way with some good purchases. We hit Opening Ceremony next and that was a whole different story. It really reminded me of The Dover Street Market in London. Lots of small rooms filled with some of the best brands in the world. Nuno picked up an amazing Opening Ceremony jacket and Michaela got a rad top… I was thinking about this Nom De Guerre cardigan, but I had to sleep on it. Nuno and Polly headed home and we met up with Mike for a drink at the Chateau Marmont.
Monday consisted of Michaela and I walking waaaay to much. We ended up back at Opening Ceremony and broke down and went for the cardigan… Nicki Hilton was shopping there while we were there… and we were the only people in the store… pretty funny… We headed back to our hotel, took a extremely crazy cab ride to the airport then headed home…
Like all of my trips to LA I had a blast and it was rad for Michaela to get to go there for her first time. I wish we had our own car, so we could of spent more time outside of West Hollywood, but there will definitely be a next time! Thanks to Mike, Stacey, Nuno and Polly… You guys were great!
