LA LA land - last stop LA

Griffith Observatory - my favourite place in LA

View from the Observatory down to LA

Relaxing at Griffith Park. 

So for the final stop on my little voyage abroad - LA. I had some really great times in LA. We spent the day exploring Downtown - I saw the bench from 500 days of summer, the Million Dollar Theatre & the Walt Disney Concert Hall. We went to the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA. And of course I did the typical things - Hollywood Bld which I am not going to lie, I totally enjoyed putting my hands in the casts at Mann's Chinese Theatre more than words. We went to  a great museum too at the old Max Factor Building. I mean thats where Lucy got here hair colour. Awesome, well to me anyway. We also spent the day at Griffith Park which was one of my fave days ever, its gorgeous up there and the Observatory is just gorgeous (and has a kickass planetarium show!). LA is so spread out its just silly, but I really liked being there. It is just an OTT place but like everywhere I guess it has some sweet spots. 

So that is my trip in a nutshell for you - hopefully you enjoyed my photos! I had a truly amazing time and honestly I didn't want to come home, I loved the USA. Seriously, I am already planning my next trip. 

Coming up I will share my treasures from my trip with you, I think I picked up some gems you will like.

500 days of summer

so i am pretty sure by now that we have all heard that this movie is just going to be the sweetest thing ever. how can it not be? it has zooey. it's a sweet anti rom-com. it has a great soundtrack. it looks like sunshine on film.
i knew i was going to love this movie before i even saw it. i even got the soundtrack about two weeks ago i was that sure. i hadn't watched clips or anything, i just knew. it might have been the sweet sketchy poster but i think it was just the generally sweet and well sunshine like vibe i got from the idea of it.

anyway, i saw it last night with one of my fave people. and it would be fair to say we were both feeling quite gloomy beforehand, work + rainy days will sometimes do that. but after we saw the movie we were both chipper and felt good about the world again. so yes i did love it maybe even more than i expected.

and really, what's not to love?
