What We're Talking About This Week

We highly recommend this quintessential, classic guide to LA for an out-of-towner.  We have shared our love of the Huntington Library, the Getty Villa, and Dan Tana's before, and there are many other favorites on this list.

As women, we don't always think to travel alone, but there a lot of benefits to it.  You can learn a lot about yourself, build your confidence, and see the world in a way that truly appeals to you.  This article is very inspiring...

Last weekend, the Renegade Craft Fair made a stop in LA, and now it's moving on to San Francisco, where it'll be in residence for three days at Fort Mason before heading further up the coast to Portland.

This tongue in cheek post, If Tom Hardy Were Your Boyfriend, had us laughing nonstop.  It's an amazing - and hilarious - fantasy.  LEGEND.

San Francisco has gotten increasingly pricey in the past few years, but there are still some delicious (and sometimes exotic) food deals in the city, as this list helps to show.

Day Trip - The Getty Villa

The Getty Villa was commissioned by oil tycoon J. Paul Getty in the early 1970s, to house his collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan statues and objects.  Its design was based off of a first century Roman house, and much of the details are authentic to that period, even down to most of the landscaping.  The buildings and grounds were renovated in 1997, giving them a more modern, but still decidedly Mediterranean feel.  The location in Pacific Palisades is right across the Pacific Coast Highway from the beach, and there are few more stunning places to spend an afternoon, or a day.
