Au Revoir Desert Life

28 Comments | Outfits


After a fantastic time in the desert, my boyfriend and I are off for our new destination, which is *drumroll* LOS ANGELES! I’m so incredibly excited, I’ve been wanting to go there for so long. As I mentioned I’m happy to leave Las Vegas, but I’m really gonna miss Utah and the little town Moab. Unforgettable memories were made there! My parents and my sister are staying here before going home tomorrow, so now it’s just the two of us. We’ve rented a super chic apartment in Beverly Hills, and now we’re off to pick up our rental car and hit the road.

I have to admit, I’ve found it really difficult to find time to blog the past week. We’ve seriously been on the go all day, every awake minute. So I’ve ended up blogging either when everyone else has gone to bed, or before they wake up. Now that it’s just me and my man, I hope I’ll get more time to blog. We’re very chillaxed when we’re traveling, we don’t plan too much and like to be spontaneous rather than following a schedule. I’ll see you from Beverly Hills darlings. Oh, and every LA tip you have, you’re welcome to share. Like places to eat, things to do, and so on. I haven’t done any research, so I’m solely relying on your tips, hah♥

  5. Dere må dra til Venice beach og Santa Monica. Det beste er at det er rett ved siden av hverandre, så man kan for eksempel starte i Venice og gå til Santa Monica :) Dette var definitivt de områdene jeg likte best i LA. Hollywood og the walk of fame må man selvfølgelig også få med seg, men det er mye mindre eksklusivt og flott enn man skulle trodd. Beverly hills er derimot like pent og eksklusivt som man får inntrykk av fra TV og film :)

  6. Det er veldig mye bra shopping på 3rd Street Promenade i Santa Monica, gangavstand fra S M Pier. På enden av gata finner man også et slags utendørs kjøpesenter som heter Santa Monica Place. Der kan man finne butikker som Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Bloomingdales og lignende.
    I Universal CityWalk åt jeg på en restaurant som var berømt for sine baby back ribs og sånn typisk amerikansk mat. Tony Roma’s het det stedet. Hvis dere skal til Universal Studios kan dere jo kombinere det med et restaurantbesøk etterpå :)

    Ellers har jeg bare gjort typiske turist-ting som alle kjenner til LA, men jeg håper at mine tips kan være til nytte da!

  7. Hey! So jealous of your roadtrip I did this three years ago with my bf. We didn’t spend too much time in LA. Must see Rodeo Drive, check out the Ivy. Shops on Robertson Drive are cool, check out Kitson. The Ivy is there too, if you can get a reservation. We went to Universal Studios. Checked out walk of fame. Bought a guide to the starts homes and did our own tour. Went to one of the movie theatres used for Movie Premiere’s. Love movies so seeing a movie here was like a dream :) If you have time head town to the OC, beaches are gorgeous! Carlsbad was my fav beach! We stayed in Mr C’s hotel! Nice for meal etc.

  17. Thanks so much for all your awesome posts during your trip :) I recommended the Korean restaurant Genwa Korean BBQ [http://www.yelp.com/biz/genwa-korean-bbq-los-angeles-2], it is so good and all the side dishes/condiments it brings when you get BBQ is amazing! I’m from Santa Barbara and my boyfriend is Norwegian, so as much as I love visiting him I still miss good Mexican and Asian food when I’m there so definitely have some of that (if you like it of course) when you’re in California! Bottega Louie in LA also sounds amazing! I’ve personally have never been but have heard/read great things about it from friends and other blogs [http://www.yelp.com/biz/bottega-louie-los-angeles]. Griffith Observatory is definitely a good place to head to! I’ve been to the Grove mall and I think it’s pretty cool if you wanna check it out!
    You mentioned earlier you were going to Santa Barbara, I hope you still go and check out some of the places I’ve mentioned. If you’d like any more recommendations please let me know :) It’d make me so happy to help someone else enjoy my hometown/state. Safe travels xxx

  18. I would recommend horseback riding in the hills at Sunset Ranch! I really enjoyed the experience when I did it a few years ago. Here is the website: http://www.sunsetranchhollywood.com/. I would also recommend a drive to Malibu on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). There are great ocean views the whole way there. I can’t wait to see the rest of your trip! :)

  19. Jeg åt også sjømat på Bubba Gump Shrimp Company på Santa Monica Pier. Veldig sjarmerende, servitøren hadde en liten Forrest Gump quiz før hun tok imot bestillinger :)

    Venice Beach er kanskje litt oppskrytt, men jeg ville absolutt tatt turen dit. Det er turistsjapper langs promenaden, noen hvor det lukta som at det hadde blitt røyka litt av hvert der. Men samtidig er det også mange originale personligheter man kan komme borti, mange skatere og surfere, veldig California :D
    Eller kanskje kjæresten din vil prøve ut musklene sine på Muscle Beach på Santa Monica? Tror det er den originale muscle beachen :p

    Personlig skulle jeg gjerne tatt en kjøretur nedover kysten mot San Diego og dratt innom de småbyene der som f.eks Laguna Beach. Jeg har aaaldri sett på Laguna Beach eller The Hills, nevah : D

    Nååå er jeg ferdig, håper du koser deg masse der!

  20. Hei!
    Vi skal også til LA i sommer, og lurer derfor på hvor dere fant leiligheten? :) Vi sliter litt med å orientere oss i hotel/leilighet jungelen.
    God tur videre!
