Melrose Avenue
There’s too much to say about Melrose. Art, life. Retail, food. Bars and funky, punny names and storefronts and curbs. I hadn’t really wandered alone for some time, and the vibe was all its own. There’s more art than ever (walk the alleys too) and, somehow, even more fashion-forward storefronts. 💋👠🕶 Melrose was bustling –… Read More Melrose Avenue
Culver City’s Business Side
Culver is a hot bed for small business. Whenever I can, I shop local. From my favorite coffee shops (Coffee Bean, the Conservatory, Tanner’s) to fun shops (Ur Kitten Me being my newest favorite) to all the quirky places and sights in between – it’s all part of what makes Culver a special place to… Read More Culver City’s Business Side
Culver City’s Residential Side
I love all sides of Culver’s beautiful face. 👣 And find new and unexpected things every time I walk…
Venice Beach, January 2015
I never get tired of Venice Beach. I’ll share it as much as I can as it’s always a little different every time I decide to walk there. 💙
DTLA Art Walk

Silver Lake
Silver Lake is a beautiful, artsy nook that draws its character and flavor from hipsters, writers and nearby neighborhoods. This is a tiny window into its magic:
NoHo
North Hollywood, NOHO, is ground zero for creatives. From aspiring actors to screenwriters to writers, almost every street corner is adorned with the fashion that comes with each respective industry (along with several heads bent over together in hushed tones). Ai (Art Institute) students blend into the fold easily as well, hauling various art projects… Read More NoHo
Runyon Canyon
My new favorite place. I loved the views, the crisp air after the rain, the unexpected art, and, nerdling alert, all of the amazing rocks I found due to all the mini mudslides that resulted from the rain as well. ❤️ Runyon Canyon
North Fairfax
Driving north on Fairfax is an education in architecture, art, culture, and old and new LA. The businesses are diverse, the people a mix of Hollywood-hipster-business. I found a cute coffee shop (“Coffee Coffee”) serving Sight Glass coffee (yum), pockets of street art, businesses with distinct personalities (“Pedro” and “Genghis Cohen”), funky stickers (“stay weird” – yes!),… Read More North Fairfax
