Fiorentini + Baker, Boots Made for Walkin’ (and Talkin’)

Abbot Kinney in Venice houses some of the hottest boutiques, workouts, restaurants, cafes, and bars in LA.

They have not gone mainstream, but have kept … Continue reading Fiorentini + Baker, Boots Made for Walkin’ (and Talkin’)

Tom Freund – Truly Mellow, Truly California

I’m not sure how I discovered Tom Freund. Maybe it was Spotify or maybe it was a CD mix an old boyfriend made me, but once I heard him, I wanted more. He was singing about my home for the last six years – California, about the copper moon, the Santa Monica pier, Venice, and surfer boys. I searched for his tunes online and became … Continue reading Tom Freund – Truly Mellow, Truly California
