Fashion & Fabric District – Downtown LA
Buying fabric in Canada can be limiting at times. Very few stores and very few different products. When Bryce and I decided we’d take a small vacation in October I wanted to visit either New York City or Los Angeles (yes, both have fashion/fabric districts). Together we decided on LA – neither one of us had ever been there before, the flights from Edmonton were 3 hours (not like the red-eyes we’d be taking to New York City), and well, the weather was beautiful.

CalTech…I’m a nerd!

Los Angeles Shopping…The Grove & Rodeo Drive
The Grove Where to shop in Los Angeles?…The Grove! My mom visited LA a few years ago and raved about The Grove, plus, I think TMZ films there from time to time.

The television show Extra brings a lot of celebrity gossip, entertainment news and celebrity photos right into…

Food Truck Wonderland
Edmonton has maybe a handful of food trucks – nothing too exciting. Popular shows, such as Eat St. and The Great Food Truck Race have made the mobile kitchen quite an intriguing dining experience. So, being in LA we had to buckle and eat off the street! This location? The Foothills in Sunland (metro Los Angeles) California. The Green Truck above – all organic and lots of vegan options. We arrived at 4:30 and most trucks opened around 5 – the best part, we got…
