My LA Travel Guide

I've gone to LA for the past 3 spring breaks and I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it more and more each time I visited. Now that I have explored several different areas of the city, I've come up with a bunch of must dos, eats and places to shop. Check them out below! 

+ Rodeo Drive 

A must see for window shopping 

+ Santa Monica Promenade

Really fun to walk around and listen to live music at night.

+ Abbot Kinney

Super cute street of unique shops and little cafes. 

+ Melrose Place

Beautiful shops tucked away in Beverly Hills.

+ The Grove

Literally the prettiest outdoor mall I've ever seen in my life.

 + Griffith Observatory

The most gorgeous view of LA you'll ever experience. (See above for proof.)

+ Paul Smith Pink Wall

Can you really go to LA without taking a picture in front of the pink wall?!

+ Santa Monica Pier

A fun afternoon activity if you're into rides and carnival food (and people watching!).

+ Hollywood set tour

I saw Ellen Degeneres leaving the parking lot. Enough said. 

+ Drive Highway 101

If you have a car this is definitely worth the trip. 

+ The Ivy

If this post doesn't say it all.... Literally the prettiest restaurant I've ever been to. 

+ Stickhouse

Arguably the coolest dessert I've eaten - if you love gelato this is a must try!

+ Beverly Hills Hotel

Definitely go here for lunch by the pool one day. Green palm print allll day long. 

+ The Shutters

Delicious for brunch, lunch or dinner right on the water in Santa Monica. 

+ Blue Plate Taco

Absolutely delicious Mexican food with bomb guac, and it's right across from the Santa Monica pier.

+ Lemonade 

I'm a little biased (#citrus) but if you like sweet lemonade, fresh food and macarons the size of your hand, 10/10 recommend.
