Los Angeles Hang Outs



Hello lovessss

Like I told you in my last post that I'm in LA!
Volunteering at Downtown LA Film Festival that just ended in mid Jul and hanging around taking some dance class and traveling!




Of course, traveling is my favourite thing on earth! hehe



So I'm here to guide you to some nice place in Lala Land ;)




First off

One of my favourite place in Los Angeles, I've come here several times including last year that I was soooo free hanging around alone in LA. This place called The Grove, it's around West LA 









The Grove is a very very nice place to be at, especially in the evening
When the sunlight started to fade away they have the best lighting in town!!


There are many stores here you going to love. Some standard shopping stores like Topshop, Nike, Forever21, Madewell, Anthropology, J.Crew, Michael Cors, other shops like Barnes and Nobles and the big mall: Nordstorm, including the huge Farmers Market!









There's also a cinema and many restaurants that are perfectly amazing!


Don't forget to stop by the famous Sprinkle Cupcakes too!









So this time, before moving into an apartment, my friends and I rented this room in Downtown LA for 4 days staying before we confirmed with the landlord and move to Marina Del Rey. 

I personally don't really like downtown LA but this apartment has one of the fine view overlook the downtown so it's kinda cool in a way.












Moving on to the next eating place!
I fell in love with this restaurant since last year that I've tried it for the first time<3


This place called The Little Next Door, located on 3rd street. It has a very nice and cozy atmosphere with the best white fish plate in town! 

It only serve in the morning and afternoon, don't miss it!















The salmon plate is also very nice!! 









XXI knit, Yves Saint purple lipstick



Oh and if you crave for dessert there are this two amazing place nearby on the same street:
Fônuts and Caramela Ice Cream

Fônuts has gluten free donuts, donuts and homemade ice cream that are very very nice! 
and Caramela Ice Cream specialise in the amazing homemade icecream, if you're a caramel head like I am I suggest you order salted caramel because it's phenomenal! 



Speaking of ice cream!


MILK




Don't get confused why I suddenly say milk.. lol
Milk is the best best best ice cream place in LA. <3

There's a lot of amazing ice cream places in Los Angeles but of course, Milk got to be on the list!


This place located on Beverly blvd and you better be there early.
Every time I go to milk there's a long line dragged out of the store, and I tell you, every.time.

But I don't know about early evening though because I always go there when dark hehehe :p







They are famous for their ice cream macaron.
Just like in the picture!

And as a caramel head, you can totally guess what flavor I got :p


Don't let them ice cream macaron fools you, because you have to try their blue velvet cake too!







And speaking of being in LA. one must visit LACMA
aka. Los Angeles County Museum of Art
so I took my friends there just for the sake of taking photos


I mean,
is there any other reason people go there instead of taking photos?
maybe like hanging around ..?








I don't really get the point though.

I've been to LACMA for like ..6 times so something.
They said lanterns like this symbolise the modern and urbanism but it's just so ironic compare to how LA freeway lacks of light...

I mean,
you'll never gonna drive anywhere darker than LA freeway.. and I mean it,
maybe they could take some of them out and place it on the roads.. Lol






And if you're visiting LACMA, bring some sweater because with some reason I've not known, it's sooooo cold there, it's like the coldest point in Los Angeles lol



Have a great week my loves,

The Bay #3




Hello beautifuls!

Welcome to the last post of SF<3




As my mother, my little friend and I were there for quite a long time and we kinda ran out of where we should go and what we should do.. We met a random Hop-on Hop-off bus seller on the street so we just took the chance and ride on that day!








This picture was taken from the bus.. so you might see some weird reflection there haha 

It's the city centre, court or something similar..

..The authority place.. that's all I can recall :p



The route of this bus passing the Missions street which we planed to go the next day so we didn't hop off there but when we reached one strange place that look pretty awesome.. we hopped off just for the sake of walking around!






See. This is pretty amazing!

Behind us there's a science museum. We didn't went inside but it look really interesting. This is the garden between the science place and another museum which is Art. and in the left is the famous Botanical Garden which, I suppose, have every kind of flowers on earth inside there. The fee isn't quite reasonable for flowers.. for me, personally.. which I like flowers a lot but I'm not a biological plant kinda girl so we just walk around there and went inside the Art museum










and that was me awkwardly jumped down the rock.. :D


Around there, there were lots of teenagers riding bicycle.. I think they might having a day trip around there to the GG Bridge because it was pretty close.


After done walking around, we hopped on the bus once again and head to the amazing Golden Gate Brigde.. which I think it hates me because the fog covered like crazy again!




Golden Gate Bridge





This is how the bridge look like while I was riding through it from the main land side..
Super scary like we're riding into some sort of horror movie or like.. geekly saying, Dementors are flying around the area :p



Luckily!
After the first or two blocks, the fog starting to clear out!!

According to the bus guide, she said it pretty normal to have that much fog around that area in this time of the year. So, a little tip for you guys who planing to visit The Bay, choose the other time ;)




Golden Gate Bridge





This picture look pretty amazing right ?!


Love it much!


Though, this side of the bay isn't get us that amazing perspective to the bridge, it still worth coming. I think there might be a lot more spots for viewing this amazing red thing called golden. Lol.







Oh yes.
Even though, how hot it is in the main land San Fran, when you coming to visit The Golden Gate Bridge, make sure to bring your jacket or anything to cover yourself. It's pretty windy and the wind is super chilled.
And trust me, if you don't want to messed your hair up, stay in the car with window shut. 



But if you don't really care about your hair or you have a good hair tied tip,
just face the freakin wind.


It's amazing



After won a war against the bay wind we went to refill our engine up at the place called
  Sears Fine Food where they serve breakfast all day!!


It locate in Downtown San Francisco on Powell street.. right across from Sak Fift.




Sears Fine Food




The place look super vintage. I bet it has been here for life times already. 
Though it look super nice, like where you take your family to or where you want to shoot a movie in.


I had my buttermilk pancake.. 2 stack. 
sounds normal right.. It's extremely huge I was like.. whaaaat.. but it was extremely good too!



One thing I recommend like RECOMMEND.. is Salmon Egg Benedict.


It was amaaaaaaaazing..



I never like any egg benedict before. No matter how my one friend love it to death I still find nothing I like about it at all but this salmon one is just made me speechless.. Find this place and have it!









When you called for a check, the staff there will give you one coin to take a chance around the front desk of the restaurant with a slot machine! 

I couldn't really remember what was the prize because I didn't win it hhahaha



After a meal at Sears, we spent a little time in Mercy because my mother wanted to buy a polo shirt.






Mac Simmer mineralize blush


and as I was waiting for her, I ended up spent money as well!

I bought this gorgeous blush on from Mac..

First, I was not so sure about buying it or not but at the moment the PA said it just came out 2 days ago I just Boom! buy it.. :p


It's super super pretty!
You can see they got the blush colour and highlight colour as well so when mixed it just shine so pretty on your cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

And in the states, Mac is just super cheap compare to the price they sold in my country. urgh. This is super worth it<3








And ending the day by spending time on bed eating chocolate..
Sounds nice right.. Look even nice!




Godiva chocolate




Chocolate can never make you miserable and Godiva can never let you down!
Thank you to my little Portland friend who bought this spoiling me <3 
hehehhee 



And as I told you, the next day we went to The Missions Street. 
But before that, I stopped by at the vintage book store called Dog Eared Book which is super cute!



This is one of the best things I love about The Bay.
It full of artistic places and vintage stores and just hallucinated me out of the present world.



Urban Outfitters Aint Lauren sweater. American Eagle Outfitters white shorts.




The shop located in the corner of 20th Street and Valencia St.

If you took the metro it would be quite a walk from the station to here.. It was hot and not so much to see on the walk too.. but if you really like book I really do recommend you to visit it here. The place is cute and staffs there were so sweet!



Walk up into The Missions you will find loads of restaurants that look really cute and full of people. I walked up to the Bi-Rite Market to purchase my loving ice-cream!








According to many online review and to do on San Fran, one place you must try their ice-cream out if Bi-Rite creamery! But since the line was super long I went into their market which is not far away instead and get myself a huge Salted Caramel baby


walking back down, you'll find one tiny pizza place on the same side of the market. 
I forgot the name of this place already I'm super sorry for that..


This place is very small.. but super crowded 
I was super duper lucky.. as I met Jen Imm (ClothesEncounter) in front of the place too!
But she was with her friend and I didn't want to interrupt her, no matter how much I super crazy about her videos I just stand way back and waiting for my call for the Pizza seats.


and the food was worth waiting!







And as I mentioned.. The Missions was super crowded.. 
It was because on the day I went it was the Pride Day!

So the pride day is an Annual Celebration, party and parade of the LGBT Community in SF which as you know, this community is pretty big there!


People were super colourful! 
Like literally, colourful. They dressed up full option for the craziest party scene I ever saw in my life! Everyone look amazing. I wanted to take pictures with all of them but yea. I didn't :p






And that was the party held.
Only a part of it.. because another party and parade are around downtown.

It was maaadddddd!

They got the huge speaker with all the music I love a lot!
Trust me, if the weather was a bit cooler and I was with my wild friends I probably jumped it and join! 



So here we are, the end of The Bay post.
I hope you enjoy San Francisco with me and hope it helpful just a little :)

I'll be back soon with Camp Life in UCLA<3





Have a great weekend my lovie dovie
