the arts district

Evil Twin Dress  / Mini Affair Bag courtesy of Rebecca Minkoff / Giuseppe Zanotti Booties

As you may already tell, when it comes to picking a part of town to hang out in Los Angeles, I stick to the East side. The Arts District in downtown is one of them. Marked by funky art installations, hole-in-the-wall cafe’s, Wurstküche, trendy passerby’s, and quirky buildings that make for picture-perfect photo ops. The walking distance to all my friend’s store fronts and favorite showrooms elevates this bias. Once you get over the obvious disadvantage of walking around downtown (which is the major disadvantage in all major cities), you can really warm up to the smell of bacon-wrapped hot dogs and start to appreciate this side of town. Tall buildings with lots of character, just like much of its quirky residents.

    I couldn’t agree more about your take on Downtown. So many great areas to take photos and the future developments makes it a place I plan on staying put for quite some time.

    PS. Love the dress!

    Amen to that. Your words could not be any truer. Lol I go down there often but my pics never come out as great as yours, what kind of camera do you use? Also I am loving your outfit (as usual) and your makeup (always) You are a true style inspiration to me and I hope that one day my life may be similar to yours.. I wish to go to college majoring in journalism and as a career I want to be a fashion stylist, online store owner, blogger, and freelance writer/photographer..its always been my dream, but I’ve only just realized how hard it is to get there. :/ How did you become so successful? If you could give me some tips and advice on life in general I would really appreciate it. or maybe your too busy to go through and answer all your comments haha (: But its okay (: Have a nice thursday! <3
