And I Hope the Sun Shines

I'm in a deep infatuation. Not with one of the usually assholes I date but rather on the new somewhere I reside; California. I haven't pinpointed what it is that makes me smile all day or why, for me, the grass is greener on the West Coast but something about it just has me on a wonderful natural high. It could be my friends that I have here and the fabulous other souls I meet throughout the city. It could be the constant forecast of 75 degrees and Sunny. It could be that I still don't believe I'm living where anything I could want is at my fingertips?

About every other corner has fruit stands with the most delicious fruit you will ever eat, along with, the European bakeries, the extremely fresh seafood, the taco stands along with delicious Mexican made churros. And also let's not forget but LA has some of the best cuisine you can find. That could all have a say.

Or is it the shopping? Melrose anyone? With stores surrounding you like Barney's, Fred Segal, Neimaen's, Kitson, La Perla, Dolce & Gabbana, Balenciaga, Fendi, Prada, Bloomies, and many many more boutiques that a woman would die to be able to shop at. Being the fashion guru I am, it;s pretty much heaven. I die.

But what really did it is what I love about Los Angeles the most, the beaches. The pacific ocean is so different. The color is a deeper blue, and the waves don't mess around. On the weekends we usually go hang out in Venice Beach. There we have a whole bike lane from Santa Monica down to Venice, right alongside the beach, lots of walking along the ocean and getting sand all over out feet, can't believing it's only February. Or it could be the way I sit on the sand and watch the sun go down and watch the Santa Monica Pier put on their light show with the Farris Wheel and Roller Coaster. Photoed above is the 3rd Street Promenade, where shoppers go to heaven WHILE overlooking the ocean. Very charming.

But truthfully I don't think it's any of those that made me love this city this much, I think it was just luck that I found my way here and I knew when I got off the plane there was going to be no looking back. California has changed me a lot already. You can be yourself here and carry no secrets. And the best part about it is I kissed all my anxiety away (besides you K). I just want to say that if you ever have the opportunity to leave where you are from I strongly advise it. Even for a year. I feel beyond free and it's the best feeling ever.

Peace & Love
