Amber's {LA Trip} Notebook: What I Wore

I love going on vacation and going out and getting dressed up. In a place like LA and staying at the Mondrian in particular I can get away with wearing things I might not be able to pull off at home. Unfortunately I'm not the best packer and really focused more on my dresses then what I was going to wear during the day. Actually I packed about 15 bikinis, because you know you can never have enough bikinis on vacation, or maybe just in life. Here are a few snapshots of my outfits.

I may have been home for a couple days, but I'm still feeling like I am on vacation mode...

Amber's {LA Trip} Notebook: What I Ate

My weekend in LA was pretty much amazing. I spent my time pretending I was a celebrity and celebrating the heck out of life and of America. Anytime I go on vacation my favorite thing to do it eat, and I mean come on, what best accompanies eating? Drinking! So this past weekend I ate my way from Hollywood to Malibu and I enjoyed every bite.

One of many Coffee Dean drinks I enjoyed this weekend.
Iced Soy Vanilla Latte - No sugar added

Tuna Tartare, Lobster & Shiitake ravioli, and Mojitos from Asia De Cuba's $5 happy hour.

Ray's Stark Bar had such an amazing menu selection we almost couldn't make a descison. But we settled on a cheese platter and we also sampled the stuffed chile (un-pictured)
