Fashion & Fabric District – Downtown LA
Buying fabric in Canada can be limiting at times. Very few stores and very few different products.

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…
