A Day in LA

IMAGES TAKEN BY NICOLETTE BATTISTA | SOPHIE KOHNE
I spent a majority of yesterday on an LA outing with my friends and it was absolutely amazing.We had lunch at LAGO @ Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade (fabulous pizza, panini, burger, ravioli--if you need to lunch, go THERE!) and walked around for a little. Afterwards, we drove to The J. Paul Getty Museum and spent a couple of hours there--admiring the fabulous Titians and the classic Van Goghs and Monets. The experience of being mere inches away from the well preserved masterpieces that were touched by the hands of masters in the 15th century was breathtaking. And of course, how can we not talk about the lovely LA traffic? Approximately 2.5 hours spent on the way home, but thank God for Sophie's amazing car, music, and her presence :)
Hopefully, I'll be back in LA to visit and browse some more!

I Will Never Let You Go, If You Promise Not to Fade Away

(click for larger images)

what i wore today and yesterday:

1) blue striped shirt with denim collar: mom, gray bandage skirt: crush, black tights, and not pictured: dolce vita wedges.

2) burgundy scarf: H&M, striped shirt: mom, leggings, and not pictured: black f21 oxfords

[sorry my shoes are never in pictures! not allowed to wear them in the house]

so there's a story behind the blue shirt i was wearing today.

Chelsea King was a high school girl on cross country in the San Diego county area. One day she was running  alone, when she was raped and murdered. our school and many other schools across socal had a memorial service for her, and we were encouraged to wear light blue (the color of her eyes). it was an extremely sad and truly eye-opening event that reminded us of making safety a priority.

Please pray for her family.

WELL, not to leave you on a sad note: SWEDISH FISH!!!!

the best thing ever. i forgot to blog about it yesterday.. so here they are.

YUM.

100TH POST!

thus we will not discuss the normal things of fashion, outfits, and such.

rather, we shall talk of scrum-diddly-umptious FOOD

"There is no love sincerer than the love of food."

George Bernard Shaw

FANCIFUL DELIGHTS come in every package. mine come in bags from clothing stores and packages that say "oreos" on them.

can't live without food, can you?

sweet things i REALLY crave right now:

-peppermint oreos

-red velvet cupcake

-rainbow candy canes

-cookies and cream ice cream

OHHH THE WONDERS OF THE HOLIDAYS >>> food goes on forever and ever.

any food lovers out there?
