Palm Springs is Back (and Always) in Fashion

Fads, by definition, come and go. And with the aid of today’s media technology connecting every corner of the world simultaneously, never in history have these trends sprung into existence and died out as rapidly as right now, like stars shooting across the night sky on a journey into oblivion. Meanwhile, genuinely artistic style remains steadfast all the while, the North Star by which to … Continue reading Palm Springs is Back (and Always) in Fashion

Best Hiking Spots in Los Angeles

If you had told me 8 years ago that moving to Los Angeles included a city surrounded with breathtaking hiking spots, I wouldn’t have believed you. Los Angeles is the perfect city because you can escape into the wild so easily, from Malibu to Griffith Park. I am constantly discovering new hikes in the mountains and canyons around our city that bring peace and contentment … Continue reading Best Hiking Spots in Los Angeles

Dogs, Convicts and Bears — Oh My

At 2:29 a.m. Monday morning, a roughly four-feet tall black bear strode a dozen feet from where I was sleeping the moment before. My trusty pup — an 18-pound, just turned 2-years-old Jack Russell/Italian Greyhound mix — stirred from under the warmth of his favorite plush blanket, alerted me with a low growl and sat at attention, staring down the intruder. Probably drawn by the … Continue reading Dogs, Convicts and Bears — Oh My

L.A. Getaway: Scottsdale

Like a paparazzi’s flashbulb, the gray desert sky lit up, followed several anticipated seconds later by a crackling roar a little too loud for a 5 a.m. wine-and-scotch hangover. For about the dozenth time in the last 24 hours, the heavens broke and rain fell to earth with great velocity. The air hovered around 70 degrees as I sipped my Keurig-made coffee and savored the … Continue reading L.A. Getaway: Scottsdale

Nochella or Glamchella? Desert party scene flourishes

There are so many people attending Coachella now for just the fashion and music parties that it has been deemed #Nochella and #Glamchella. Although music brings the people together, apparently killer brand sponsored pool parties all over the Palm Springs/Indio area also bring everyone together. It feels like all of LA wants to shake their tail feathers in the desert, as a majority of the … Continue reading Nochella or Glamchella? Desert party scene flourishes

Escape LA: Lompoc, a Santa Barbara city

Founded in the 1880s as a temperance colony, Lompoc was originally conceived as a booze-free utopia. (Note: this is not to be confused with a free-booze utopia, which, I’m sorry to say, is not a real thing). William Hollister, a wealthy rancher who was once considered the state’s largest producer of wool was interested in cheap labor and clean sobriety. Today, wages are still low … Continue reading Escape LA: Lompoc, a Santa Barbara city

What I wish someone told me before going to Coachella

I’ve been in LA almost 8 years and every year I have heard the Coachella banter many months before this two weekend desert music festival actually happens, and every year my intrigue grows. Each year I have been told that I will hate it…. camping, drugs, desert dust, heat, no bathrooms, and so on. After years of love hate tales floating around me, I actually … Continue reading What I wish someone told me before going to Coachella
