Ok so I thought Hong Kong was the shit when it comes to shopping and then I met Los Angeles- and this is a city that just gets it. The shopping scene is ridiculous and I'm all about road trips.. but why drive when you can fly for only $39 each way? And now that I'm 25, I can finally rent a car because God knows that's necessary in a big city like LA where everything is spread so far apart but traffic can be the biggest annoyance.
I personally prefer Southwest Airlines because they don't charge to check in your luggage which is a nice bonus if you lug extra baggage like we did. And if you have nothing to check in, you can simply print out your boarding pass from home making it all that much more convenient to travel. In 55 minutes you'll be in Los Angeles in no time and traveling has never felt so much easier than this.
New items listed!!! and YES- I'm selling BRAND NEW denim leggings the exact style worn in the "i fly like paper" and "on the go" post! :)

There are many ways to enjoy the Golden Gate and this iconic San Francisco sight can be experienced by merely driving across the bridge. This is something I've frequented to and from my trips to Santa Rosa, however, you can't really appreciate the size and height unless you walk on it- but why walk when you can bike or even better- ROLLERBLADE! At 1.7 miles in length, this is completely doable and on a nice sunny day you can witness the magnitude of this beautiful span and see why it's the most photographed bridge in the world.
And here's a Golden Gate Bridge fun fact: Since many people question why the bridge is anything but golden, the actual paint color of the bridge is International Orange, contrary to the red finish. The term Golden Gate refers to the Golden Gate Strait which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. Learn more about another misconception of how often the bridge is painted , why the bridge toll is now $6, and other interesting tidbits and frequently asked questions here.
I used to love rollerblading as a kid and this by far is a fun spot to glide through and enjoy breathtaking views of the city.

We had dinner at Katana- Ya on Geary in Union Square. This place is a busy Japanese restaurant that can feel a bit crowded but this small spot has a cute and a homey feel. It's known for being a famous Ramen House in SF but since I'm always on the hunt for the best dragon roll, that was my order and I will definitely come back next time around to try the noodles. There can be a bit of a wait but I think it's worth it and so is the cold plum sake- I've never had sake chilled before and it's absolutely delicious! The service is fast, the prices are very reasonable, and it's in a great location downtown that's open late so if you're in the area you should definitely check it out.
There are many clubs, bars and lounges nearby and we started off the night at Vessel, located at Campton Place between Stockton and Grant. We then swung by Slide adjacent to the famous Ruby Skye on Mason and ended our night at Harlot located on Minna where we had a blast. All venues have a nice, trendy, and hip vibe that played Hip Hop/Top 40/Mash ups. It was a fun fun night with the gals in the city and the color of the night seemed to be blue! :)
