For Type Lovers
Always on the look for fonts… came across this family, which isn’t going to break your wallet, like alot of other font families… Centrale Sans is a modern sans serif typeface. Geometric by nature, Centrale Sans is characterized by some humanistic features, resulting in a more warm and friendly look. Its open bowls and its overall width makes it highly legible and readable at...

Two great shoes and two great looks @nicolettareggio. Its all about being versatile and having multiple outfits. I love the sea foam green dress and peep toe wedges and then again with the jeans. In the other look she has ankle boots with a shorter dress and then again with a longer free flowing dress. one casual, one dressy casual.

Franklin & Company Tavern
Another gem you’ll want to visit. Franklin & Company, a cozy gastropub next door to the UCB Theatre on Franklin in Los Angeles. This is a low-key little neighborhood joint filled with just the kind of decor you can get behind—chalkboards decorated with words like “burgers” and “beer,” wine barrels covering the walls and whiskey labels plastered all over the stairs. Call it mid-whiskey...

The Ganesha Bar at Nirvana in LA is a site in its own.

Nirvana, an Indian oasis featuring masterful renditions of traditional cuisine. Since 2004, Nirvana has lured loyal guests who indulge in both the sexy vibe of Nirvana’s lounge with round,...

Trying to get my winter likes out of my system before spring arrives! Though I live in Southern California, I love all seasons and love to see style for all four. But I have to admit I love the winter/Fall the most, although I like to see some skin equally as much as I love to see the hats, scarfs, jackets and the tights in fall/winter… I love this classic neutral look, with the cape style...

Old English Done in LA
Feast your eyes on The Churchill, a gastropub designed like a turn-of-the-century English country house (and named after Sir Winston).
There’s lots of woodsy dining room space, a photo booth, a street-level patio with a fireplace, and a sleek upstairs area where DJs will spin after-hours. Plus, you’ll find curios like old boxing gloves and books, black-and-white sports photographs and an...
