Disney Concert Hall

A few weeks ago, my mom and I took a tour of the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA. I've only been to the outside, and didn't know how beautiful it was on the inside! The tour guide told us that the original idea of the building was to have brick walls (NYC style). But because of the war, they had to scrap the idea and wait until it was over to start construction again... By that time, Frank Gehry (the architect) decided against the original draft (so glad he did) and built this magnificent structure! I highly recommend seeing it if you're into architecture. Plus the tours are all free!

Alright.. this is our last post on the sister's trip, we're just too excited for it if you can't tell. We finally finished editing the video and here are some of the highlights of what we did in San Diego and Los Angeles. I've also listed some of the places that we ate at and visited.. hope you enjoy it!




We got some really awesome recommendations from our friend Greg (lives in SD), who knew exactly where we wanted to go, thanks Greg!

Hey Yeh Takes LA

If you have siblings, I encourage you to always keep up with them and try to make time to see them at least once a year, if not more. We all live quite far from each other and are embarking on very different parts of our own adventure, so we hardly have time to keep up with each other on the daily, which made this sister trip so important and so much fun!

We chose to stay in California because we wanted a nice and relaxing trip where we didn't have to worry about getting lost, language barriers, and pick pocketing. We took it easy, did a lot of shopping, eating, and spent time catching up! We have a video coming really soon to show you all the fun stuff we did, and all the yummy food we ate! I'm super excited about it, and hope you are too! 
Thanks Ashlyn for your apartment!

Living Room Sanctuary

I've been looking for a comfy, affordable, grey couch to make our living room feel cozier. We have a lot of dark wood and red brick so I think a light grey would be a good fit. Not sure if I really want to buy one right now, but definitely keeping an eye out for a good sofa deal! Here are some of my inspiration...
this is my FAVORITE..
maybe not the comfiest, but definitely love the colors..

Reunited

Welcome to our sister’s trip recap part one! Finally found some time to sort through 15 GB of photos from the trip. One of our days was spent leisurely strolling around Manhattan Beach. With our beach essentials at the ready (sunnies and Havaianas of course!), we grabbed brunch at MB Post (mmm those biscuits), hit up some boutiques, and enjoyed doggy watching along the ocean.

There's more to come soon!
