My spontaneous trip of 2011 in L.A. was such a sweet time:) Ever play high-low?!
Here are my highs and lows of the trip! Top moments:
1) Getting to experience the trip with one of my dear friends/co-workers from Radiant -Rose, and her two adorable boys! We have had so many fun adventures together and this one made the list!
2)The Soul Surfer movie screening. Incredible movie with an all star cast. It was at the Sony, which was surreal! We are excited to be able to interview some of them. Stay tuned!
3)Meeting Mara and having lunch at Louie Bottega. A pretty adorable cafe with a fantastic menu.
I could have talked to her for hours. We have a lot in common:) She will be modeling some of the new accessories from the IHOD Spring line! Looking forward to working with her and sharing!
4) Getting to experience the Fabric District downtown. Got some beautiful supplies!
5) Driving down Rodeo Dr. Its real! ha ha! Absolutely beautiful too. Sparkly actually. I now understand why movie stars live in their own bubble and can be pretty absurd sometimes. Their world is its own!
Low Moments: 1) Sitting next to a snoring man on a 2.5 hour flight 2) Leaving my wallet on the plane and having to run back 6 months preggo through the airport to get it in time before my connecting flight took off! 3) Ruining my shirt 10 minutes before leaving for the movie screening! Always have a back up! 🙂 4) Only having 24 hours in L.A. 🙁 5) Circling around Grand Ave and never finding FIDM! Will have to wait till next time… Ever have moments like these?!
Other than that, it was a smooth trip. I am very blessed to have had the opportunity to go! And it sure feels good to cross a resolution off the list! Happy Monday friends!

Love the high-low game! Such a fun whirlwind trip for you. Glad you got to see a movie premiere, those are much fun! Even if you didn’t stay very long, all the more reason to go back! 🙂 xo
It’s so awesome you were spontaneous and just flew to LA — even if it was only for 24 hours. I seriously wish I got to do this more. Good for you, Anna! I would ask you what you have planned next, but I guess planning doesn’t count as spontaneous, eh?

It sounds like a really amazing trip!! And I bet it was very nice to escape the little small town for a while and see some sights! That whole counter of macarons looks AMAAAZING…those are my favorite. I am glad to hear that you had a (mostly) good time!
