Hi everybody! I’m just getting back from my vacation week in Los Angeles, California. It’s become my fourth home.
(following Philadelphia, Connecticut, & Louisiana)
Here’s an overview of the week in Instagram photos.
(& don’t forget to follow me @ChrystinaNoel)
1) my overstuffed purse: yes, that’s a laptop 2) the dual-purpose iced tea: what happens when you hit your knee really hard on the railing 3) the italian-singing teddy bear in the kitchen 4) the menu at fig 5) the salt bowl at fig 6) the bathroom at fig: note the environmental-friendliness 7) my newest look: back to brunette and wearing my new dress from jai 8) paradise: but the keys got too hot on my computer so it didn’t last very long 9) casper the cat 10) my beat up legs: what happens when you walk into railings, have bug bites, just moved, wear shoes that don’t fit correctly, and are just clumsy 11) our order number at sweet lady jane’s 12) our red velvet cake 13) a homemade poptart: from nickel diner in downtown la 14) ingredients at cali shabu 15) salads from lemonade 16) my ride for the week: an sl63 amg for all you car lovers out there 17) MIXtape concert: we were guests of joey for the evening – all in all a wonderful show (how could it not be performing covers from the 80s, 90s, and 00s?) 18) tsa: my high school art teacher started me on a photo series of all of my tsa travel bins
