Though I’m totally obsessed with living in New York, before I moved here to the Big Apple I used to live in Los Angeles. I went to fashion school at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising right in Downtown Los Angeles. So and every now and then I get the itch to sit on the beach and have Mexican food that’s actually good, I know it’s time to book a trip. This summer my sister and I swapped the humidity of summer in the city for Erewhon and dry heat and packed our bags for L.A.. Once the flights we’re booked the next step was obviously to plan all of my looks for the trip. With so many of my favorite L.A. spots on my list and so many old friends to rekindle with I wanted all of my outfits to be perfect for each and every occasion.
After lots of research on Instagram digging for outfit inspiration and scrolling for hours on my favorite retailers websites, I think I did a pretty good job. Half of the trip I spent in Hollywood at the chic smaller hotel next to The Thompson the very California Tommie Hollywood which was perfect for all of the nearby restaurants we wanted to hit before heading back to New York. The other half of the time we were staying in my old stomping grounds at the AC Hotel by Marriott Downtown Los Angeles, which was perfect for catching up with my old friends from college who still live near our old FIDM campus. Over all on my whole trip I had 5 outfits that stood out among the rest, and gained me the most compliments by far.
Keep scrolling to see which looks I wore in L.A. made the top 5.
