wants on wednesday

Fall has been trying to take over here in California, but the heat refuses to leave the party. 

In anticipation of all things cozy, I can't help but pick a few pieces that help get me into the fall spirit. Bold patterns, burgundy, boots and seat heaters... pumpkin spice. 

I'm ready for the rainy nights,scarves and baking.. that's probably what I look forward to. 

Thinking about taking a trip to New York in December.. I have always wanted to visit the city when it's all dressed up for the Holidays. 

Maybe it was one too many viewings of 'Home Alone 2".. 

either way it will be nice to get away and really embrace the real winter elements.. 

like I referenced earlier- California doesn't see much of that.

wants (for a wedding) on wednesday

Two of my beautiful girlfriends are getting married!!!!
Well, not to each other.. so that means I'll need to shop for some amazing dresses to properly celebrate their big days. Both will be outdoor weddings, so weather is a key component when choosing my attire. I need to keep in mind; coverage, length and color. I have always been drawn to blues and greens, but I can't forget about pattern play and texture too. let the shopping begin.

wants on wednesday (noms)

Usually, my wants on Wednesday consist of things to buy, places to go or items I want to wear. But today it's all about the food.

I have a few places in mind that I want to try when I am down South. I'll be staying at the Ace Hotel, which is in a killer location right in downtown. It seems only the coolest of the cool venture to DTLA to where locals are dubbing it the “Brooklyn” of LA. The venue offers up a beautiful rooftop deck with stunning views of the city and the amazing sunsets.

I know while I'm in L.A. I want to eat

here

Urth Caffe: organic deliciousness awaits you with a sweet sip of their home brand of coffee, or teas- if that happens to be you thing. 100% organic and chemical free. Right up my alley, with a pastry on the side.

here

Syrup Desserts: I need to try their breakfast.. multiple times. I wouldn't know how to make a decision- I've read that their crepes are divine and that their waffles are served with ice cream. drool  

and here

SugarFISH sushi: Well, I am guilty of eating sushi 3-4 times a week. I wouldn't consider myself a connoisseur.. but I know a thing or two. I was informed that this restaurant is

TO. DIE. FOR.

'nuff said

My friend Sarah said I have to check out Wurstkuche after I skateboard by the beach in Venice.

I really want to dine at The Little Door. From photos the décor looks rustic with surrounding foliage making for a lush, inviting and calm atmosphere. Again, how will I ever decide on one thing from the menu. Might have to do the Chef's tasting, just to be on the safe side.

Also in DTLA there are about a million graff murals I want to check out. The Dirt Floor is a great reference. Gypsy1 has really gotten me into that aspect of art culture. They're inspiring pieces that are different and raw.  

All in all, I think it will be a fun trip and I'm excited to visit with my friends who live there.

travel time

I'm leaving for the Bahamas tomorrow to meet my best friend for our vacation. When dealing with the airport- less is always more. Stick with easy comfortable clothes. Layering is key for the plane because one minute you're hot, the next you're cold.. And shoes that are quick to get off when going through airport security. For long flights, neck pillows are a life saver as well as great headphones- so you can drown out the screaming children, relax and get into vacation mode. peace out California.

I think my source for inspiration for today's Wants On Wednesday comes from my tummy...maybe because it's lunch time. Most of the items in today's post are items from my favorite South Bay area food stops. Places like Naglee Park Garage and Top Nosh Cafe are always go-to spots for us because of their fresh ingredients, fun meal choices, and great atmosphere. Maybe, you'll fand a new fav on my list too!

Happy Eating!! yum.. yum.. yum..
