Coachella Fashion

Showing my Coachella outfits has been long overdue. I went to Death Valley this past weekend with friends so I thought it would be the perfect setting to recreate them due to the desert vibes. Death Valley is a National Park between California and Nevada, and is the lowest point of North America. During this short trip, I visited the Mesquite Sand Dunes and Badwater…

IMG_9362

A very popular fashion accessory worn during music festival season is a flower crown. As I am attending Coachella for the first weekend, I thought doing a flower crown would be a fun project to do beforehand.

A Winter Day In Big Bear

earmuffs for winter

Winter days in Los Angeles never consist of snow. One of the closest places for me to see snow is Big Bear, California. I still remember the first time I saw and felt snow. This memory took place in Big Bear eight years ago with my best friends. I was very delighted not only by experiencing snow for the first time, but by the scenery…

Seeing the…

A Stay At The Hollywood Roosevelt

11

I had a wonderful stay at The Hollywood Roosevelt this past weekend. I decided to stay there as I had tickets to see The Nutcracker at The Dolby Theater. I thought it was the perfect place to get ready at and relax for a night at the ballet. The Hollywood Roosevelt and The Dolby Theater are walking distance from each other, both located on Hollywood Boulevard. There…

The Hollyridge Hiking Trail

  The trail I took to the back of The Hollywood Sign is Hollyridge Trail. Getting to the actual sign is actually illegal. There are multiple cameras and LAPD one call away which totally sucks. However, the hike towards the back of the sign (to the area where people are allowed; the closest one can be to the Hollywood Sign without breaking the law), offers…
