The first thing I do in the morning is… check my phone notifications and feed my cat. MyRead More →

For the past few weeks I’ve been creating themed holiday gift guides—an annual tradition here at A Girl in LA. As I scour the web, thinking of what others will want to receive, I’ve come across tons of items I would love to unwrap on Christmas morning. Since I was a child, my mom asked my sister and I for ideas on what to get us. That turned into constructing a list of must-haves which has become a ritual I look forward to every year. Here are 15 things on my holiday wish list that I’m hoping to receive come December 25th (plus I’d loveRead More →

At the start of the summer, I visited Arizona and now I’m getting ready to head to my childhood home in New England. I’ll be staying in Massachusetts and then vacationing at the beach in Connecticut.

There are so many, but here are a few that are on my itinerary: a boat ride to Block Island, shopping in Olde Mistick Village, having Sunday brunch at Water’s Edge Beach Resort and SpaRead More →

What I love about Sundays is getting dressed up and heading to brunch. I’ll splurge and order a dish I wouldn’t typically eat during the week—it usually involves a ton of butter, sugar and syrup. When choosing where to dine Billy and I have a few favorite spots, one of them being Perch in downtown Los Angeles. This trendy French inspired bistro sits high in the sky and has some of the most incredible dishes and cocktails. Once we’re finished dining, we’ll head up to the rooftop bar for a drink and a spectacular view of the L.A. skyline. My style staple for spring andRead More →

The first thing I do in the morning is… drink a Clean energy drink and check my emails. My style inspirations are… Zoe Kravitz, Ashlee Simpson, Serena Vanderwoodsen, Vanessa Hudgens, and Kate Moss. My favorite labels, designers, and shops are… Revolve, Rag & Bone, Gucci, UO, Superdown, One Teaspoon, Lovers + Friends,Read More →
