The Modernism of Julius Schulman

Aaaah… California modernism at it’s very best. Julius Schulman’s iconic photographs are discussed in this documentary, which I will be visually devouring this weekend. Can’t wait!

Bottega Louie

Oh, Los Angeles, why must you taunt me?  I am long overdue for a trip but after my friend Jen told me about Bottega Louie, I may not be able to hold off too much longer…

Minh-Khue’s Los Angeles Picks

I finally got to escape to LA for a weekend and hit up my favorite spots!  Check them out next time you’re in sunny SoCal:

Fave Sunday Shopping: Melrose Trading Post.  Every weekend the Fairfax High School parking lot is transformed into a treasure trove of vintage and re-worked clothing, antiques, and my favorite: vintage jewelry!

Fave Gourmet Burger: Father’s Office.  There’s no denying a burger dressed up with arugula, gruyère cheese, and applewood-smoked bacon compote.

Fave Coffee Spot: The Conservatory for Coffee, Tea & Cocoa.  The aroma of roasting espresso beans is irresistible, and if coffee is too high-caffeine for you, pick from their selection of over 150 teas!
