Must Sees When I Visit LA

I visit my best friend Rachael in LA at least once a month and you best believe we have a full on freaking itinerary every time I get there. This girl loves to plan and this is why we are best friends, mostly because we are both spazzes and must be doing something every second of every day. 

When I lived with Rachael for a Summer while interning for Nickelodeon, we filled our weekends up with Beach visits, Shopping in Melrose, Studio City, and so much more.  

 

Newport Beach, Crystal Cove

Okay this is one of my favorite beaches because it spreads so far down allowing you to find a non congested area to set up and relax. Right above Crystal Cove is the Shake shack so when you start go get hangry you can take the steps up the hill and get your workout/burger/shake you've been needing. Its a WIN WIN. 

Manhattan Beach

If your'e looking to have a fun filled beach day then Manhattan beach is your place. Rachael and I always leave at 8am from LA to get here because there is so much to do. Theres shopping along the boardwalk, perfect brunch spots, clubs and nightlife, and a wide open beach. We pretty much stay in Manhatten beach all day and night.

Malibu

Malibu is just so peaceful. Id i ever want to fall asleep on the beach reading a good book this is the spot. Not to mention theres Malibu farm which is a delicious breakfast and lunch cafe right on the boardwalk. There are so many specific beaches to choose from in Malibu, and so many cute picture spots. 

Laguna Beach

Laguna is such a cute beach city. It has an artist community, beautiful beaches with cliff restaurants and the best shops with little fun trinkets.

 

Studio City

I pretty much go to Studio city if I want to end up leaving with like ten bags full of clothes, shoes etc. Wasteland is my absolute favorite high end / vintage clothing, all gently used. I seriously leave there with my arms full with bags.
