Mountain and the Sea

The whole point for me to go to California in the first place was for a wedding and not for being a tourist, right? Well I got to do both. I must say the wedding was beautiful as well as the reception and I managed to get a few shots of what I wore while the beautiful couple were doing their shots.


H&M- Dress 
Bakers - Shoes (My favorite pair I've had since 2006)
added blue sash
Covergirl Spellbound Lipstick 



H&M - flower clip
Aldo - Ring

I thought to add this ribbon to my dress to give it shape
Ray-Ban - sunglasses
Anne Kline - watch 
F21 - misc bracelets
Vintage bag
diamond ring

On our last day in Los Angeles, David and I hit up The Grove which is an outdoor mall. The Grove has a nice trolley running down the middle of it and a nice farmers market at one end. It was a great place to people watch, shop, dine and I even caught a glimpse of AC Slater... I mean Mario Lopez finishing up Extra. 


After the Grove we drove through Beverly Hills and stopped at the Beverly Hills sign for a couple of pictures. 


Purple tee 
Vintage skirt (bought back in 2002 and shortened)
Target - yellow wedges
Coach - black satchel



Bracelets - Express and Ippolita 
Tokidoki - watch
diamond ring 

After taking a few wrong turns through Topanga Canyon we made our way to the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) which we took south along the coast. We we dissapointed because as we were driving down the PCH the marine layer fog was thick and heavy and we were driving down to Venice beach to see the sunset. In the three times I've been to California I never got to see the sunset. 

I love little back alleyways like this. 


Luckily as you can see, by the time we got to Venice beach the skies cleared and I finally got to see my sunset. 

Time to go home to NYC! 
Until the next time in California.
