Miami’s Freedom Tower
My favorite building in the entire city. ❤️ And an ode to the Cuban Experience in Miami … powerful, beautiful and complemented by its own curated museum.

LA’s Design District
My last stop before leaving my beloved LA. #californialove
The Getty
Few museums – even in LA – can match the grandeur of The Getty. The gardens, angles, landscaping and views are all meticulously laid out. So much so that you could spend a full afternoon simply appreciating the strange beauty of both the 405 and the Pacific Ocean from The Getty’s vantage point. Now, museum-goers… Read More The Getty
DTLA
Downtown LA always lures me back. At this point, I’ve walked the streets of DTLA so many times I can’t count the miles – but I always find new art, hidden street art, shops and pockets of social commentary to appreciate.

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
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. 💙
