During this most recent trip to NYC, B-Money and I dropped in on the Guggenheim. I liked the museum's set-up -- I felt as though I could see everything in an efficient manner.
My favorite take-away from museum visits is the desire to create. I'm almost finished with a photo project I'm doing for B-Money's apartment which involves a vintage frame (we found it at the Rose Bowl Flea Market), polaroids, ribbon, and mini clothespins. Photos forthcoming!

I'm excited to be featured as today's Luncher Profile for MidtownLunchLA.

I've been working with some amazing photographers lately (namely Michael Modecki) but I still love the "B-roll" photos done by my B-Friend. Perhaps a bit more intimate but also by no means "refined." It's fun, though, to see yourself through your B-Friend's eyes.
At The Highline
I've never been so glad to come home from NYC before in my life. Don't get me wrong, the trip was fantastic: we saw South Pacific at the Lincoln Center, caught a ball game at Citi Field, ate at some hip eateries (Locanda Verde, The Standard Grill, Pulino's, Otto, Shake Shack, Momofuku Milkbar, Clinton Street Baking...), and hit up pretty much all of the speakeasys in the East Village. But the heat was sweltering.
It feels so deliciously good to bask in LA's unseasonly mild summer weather. I'm hitting the ground running with a few writing assignments before taking off on another surf trip to mainland Mexico. Stay tuned for some blog updates -- like my personal travel tips and city guides.
I'm heading to NYC to munch on some delicious eats, shop at some of my favorite stores, meet with some people (personal and work), and enjoy a trip with the two men of my life: the BroHahn and the B-Friend.
If you're around, please let me know! I'd love to see as many of you East Coasters as possible!
My favorite Macedonian, Gjorgji, was recently in town for the Electric Daisy Carnival (held at the LA Coliseum), and our reunion was a highlight of my last week. Really, once or twice a year is not enough.

I tried out a new summer-y up-do for a double date the other night to Susan Feniger's Street (where the food lived up to the hype - at least for the most part). This side bun involved making a side ponytail and pulling the ponytail through the top of the elastic, which created a space for the Gerber daisy. Then I threw my hair up into a bun and fastened it with clear elastics and some pins. Totally simple and festive and perfect for those outdoor dinners.

Here you will find vivid accounts and delightful eyecandy of my fabulous adventures in and out of LaLa Land as I live life as a surfer, a writer, and a lover of many things (especially food). So please, grab a pot of ginger tea, snuggle into that Frette merino wool throw, and start clicking away -- And fall in love with my wanderlust.
