Lou, Sarah and I went to check out all of the boutiques that Lou shops at.  There were a few great shops and I ended up buying a pair of Supra Muska Skytops, and some locally made sunglasses.  Afterwards, we went to grab lunch at

After 2 hours of hacking my iPhone at the hotel, I was able to get it working again, but I lost all of my settings and info.  I was able to get my contacts back on it, and figured that at least if I could

Lou and Sarah picked me up today and we went to Little Italy to get lunch.  We were all really hung over from last night…We popped into a few shops, and then ended up at a really cool boutique called Station that is owned by a friend of Sarah’s named Kristi.  She’s an interior designer and the owner of the boutique…her lifestyle seems really cool.  She was so nice, and poured us all a glass of champagne while we lounged in her shop for a bit.  She mentioned that she was going to the Ivy Hotel for the Gumball 3000 party, and I realized that Melissa Baardfield was going to be there.  One text to Mel and I was on the guest list.  Lou and Sarah took a nap and I took Sarah’s car to Pacific Beach to relax in the sun and swim.  Lou, Sarah and I got dinner at a Mexican place by Lou’s house, and then we took Ruca to the dog park for a while…now I’m trying to fix my broken iPhone so I can figure out if I can go to the Ivy…

Woke up and wandered down the street to Starbucks.  Sarah came and picked me up, and we went to get brunch.  It’s so great to FINALLY meet her, it’s been so long since we first started talking, and she is so important to me.  Sarah

Rachel and I woke up today SOOOO hung over. We were dying, and it REALLY sucked that we had to get up and bring me back to my hotel to go to San Diego.  We dragged ourselves to Stroh’s Gourmet on Abbott Kinney to get 

Fun Day With Rachel

Fun Day With Rachel

Rachel picked me up at noon today and we went to get lunch in Manhattan Beach.  We spent the afternoon wandering around Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach.  We looked at houses and talked about our future dreams.  We went to Trader Joe’s to get food and wine for our evening plans, the amazing outdoor concert at Santa Monica Pier; Santa Monica Pier Twilight Dance Series.  Before going to the beach, we met up with Max and his friends at a nice house in Venice Beach.  Met some cool people and had a beer and a shot of Don Julio.  We drove up to the Santa Monica Pier, and set up our blanket on the beach, along with Rachel’s friend Anna.  After meeting Anna, ironically, we found out that the two of us were at the same New Year’s party at Mike Van Horns.  SUCH a small world!!  Rachel and I got REALLY drunk.  We all went to Joe’s Beach bar and drank even more, and then back to Bo’s apartment until late.  Rachel passed out, and because she wouldn’t wake up, I ended up driving around totally lost for about an hour.  So annoying!!

Woke up at 10, spent 2 hours online trying to decide what to do today, and how to get there.  I didn’t want to pay the $40 to take a cab to the Getty Museum, so I ended up hopping on a bus at noon

Woke up today after spending the night at Rachel’s.  Walked to Abbott Kinney and wandered around.  Had a fabulous salad (Stuffed Avocado & Tuna) and an iced coffee.  Randomly stumbled across Kwaku Alston‘s house. Went to Venice Beach (Which is essentially the Jersey Shore) and

Rachel picked me up at the hotel and we went to Starbucks, then to her job interveiw at a graphic design firm.  While she was there, I wandered around Beverly Hills.

We went to LACMA for the afternoon, super fun!

I drove us from Beverly Hills to Venice Beach where Rach lives.  We stopped by Max’s place to see his puppy Wyatt.  We went to Rachels and drank some yummy wine, and then went to dinner at GJelina on Abbott Kinney.  We had a fantastic dinner.  After dinner, Brett and Nick came and had drinks with us, and then Rach an I went to The Otheroom and had an Apricot Beer.

Spent the night at Rachels, drunk.

Woke up today and went to brunch with Autumn, Marissa, and Adam from Flock of 80’s.  We stayed at the restaurant for a while because the girls were milking the bottomless champagne for $5. We all went to Fisherman’s Pier for lunch, and sat in
