It's actually a bit colder than usual out here. Global warming, I guess. It's about 40-50 degrees sometimes! Still a warm day for London, but a freezing day for LA. You see the girls running around with jackets and scarves and Ugg boots...with miniskirts. That's LA. After being away for awhile, I realize how ridiculous LA is. This place really is lala-land. But do I miss it!
I landed at LAX on Monday afternoon. My lil sis picked me up and got me Del Taco which is shitty Mexican drivethru chain, but they have the best hot sauce! Then my sister had to go to work, so I waited until traffic died down so my cousin Michelle could pick me up in LA to take me to my mom's house in OC. She got here and we went to Pinkberry, a yogurt chain that's become this huge hit in LA. A yogurt costs $5, and it's healthy and it's LA. Yeah, it's winter and LA people sit around and eat ice cream.

Then next door, we noticed M Cafe which is a microbiotic restaurant. That's like that diet that Gwenyth Paltrow is on. And they had these yummy looking brown rice sushi rolls! So I got a couple. :)
We were going to go to Pink's Hot Dog after because it was around the corner and my cousin Michelle is a foodwhore. And the line was actually kinda short for the for a change. But we didn't.
Then I got home and went to Del Taco again with my brother. Yeah, I know it's gross, but I really missed food.
The next day, I woke up, and I had no car or any way of getting around since my mom was gone and my friends were at work. So I sat around and watched everything on my Tivo. Finally, I left the house and got my nails done! For some strange reason, getting nails done is SO expensive anywhere outside the US. Even in China! After I got my nails done, my cousin Michelle, my college roommate Sara, and my friend Shelly came to see me and we sat around at Barnes and Nobles reading magazines and drinking Starbucks. I love that place! Then me, Michelle and Sara had Thai food. Then...we went to Target! My absolute FAVORITE store in the U.S. It's just fabulous. It's the best store in the world. Not cheap crap like KMart or Walmart. It's quality and cheap and they have these $1 bins...it's like Walmart for Yuppies.
On Wednesday, my cousin Julie drove out from Redlands and picked me up to go shopping! We had lunch at Barneys New York and then we shopped. Barneys just started its sale, so I ended up dropping a few hundred. Then continued the shopping down Rodeo Drive. We had coffee at a cafe with our friend Susan who works at Valentino. We just people watched and played fashion police on everyone who walked by us. So bitchy. So Beverly Hills. Then off to Beverly Center where I continued on my little spree. Yes, I spent a lot of money, but I justify it because in London, it'd all cost twice as much!
Papparazzi were hanging out in front of Barneys so I took a picture of them. I have no idea who they were waiting for, but I guess we'll see it in the tabloids next week. I heard the Alexis Biedel from Gilmore Girls was inside, but I doubt it was for her. I also saw David Spade (but not with Heather Locklear), Samuel L. Jackson, and Emma Roberts (Julia Roberts' niece who's an actress too).
Me with Lazy Santa on Rodeo Drive. I'm wearing sunglasses. Yes, there's sun here!
After shopping, me and my cousin met up with our friends Connie and Judy and went to Dong Il Jang, a Korean restaurant in K-town that I love!!! And I GRUBBED. I have not been full in so long...British food sucks.
Me and my cous.
The kimchi bokeumbap at the end of the meal. DAMN, that's good stuff.
Okay, this is taking forever to upload, so I'm getting frustrated. I'll post more later. Lots of good stuff. Stay tuned.
