My visit to Los Angeles was such an experience! Here are some photos from my trip(:

Shopping in Santa Monica!

Saw Mario Lopez from Extra and Joe Manganiello from True Blood at the Grove mall.

Hanging out with some art in the model apartment ;D

Best sandwich ever at the Alcove. yummmm.

Acting like an 8-year-old and shopping at the American Girl Place! hehehe

Finally received photos from a photoshoot a few months ago. I love the styling & setting of this photoshoot. And the makeup/hair is so high fashion.

Beautiful location of my photoshoot I had on Sunday in San Onofre. I accomplished one of my goals during this modeling trip, and that was to have a photoshoot on the beach. :)

all in a day

I am currently in Los Angeles keeping busy with modeling. I'm having all kinds of experiences here. In the morning I will be struggling to find a casting in the Fashion District of downtown L.A. But towards the end of the day I will be at a swank hotel having a bite to eat with a European photographer. Being here, I have learned that modeling is a lot of work and it's not always glamorous. But I'm not complaining, I am having so much fun working and experiencing the model life.

L.A. arrival

Shopping in L.A. Waiting to go on some castings. This mall has the best Forever 21!

daytrip

(Forever 21 tee, Hollister shorts, H&M bag, Sanuk flip flops, second-hand sunglasses)

Here are some photos from a little daytrip I went on today. This street has so many cool & colorful doors/windows. My clothing staples in this 100 degree, super sunny weather are short shorts, t-shirts, and fringe bags.
The whole week I have been packing & planning outfits for L.A. I'm happy that the weather will be nice so I can dress up more! Can't wait to take photos of my visit and share them!

Quick inspiration post before I study for my finals. 2 more days of school. I can do this.

week before summer

Scanned a film photo of mine that I took in my photography class. So many dust spots, but its still one of my favorite photos.

I am so excited!! I get out of school next Wednesday for summer break! Summer 2011 is going to be the best. I'm going to L.A. for 2 weeks, partying with my friends, blogging, shopping, & relaxing my whole break. For now, here is my film photo!
