90210 aka Beverly Hills is not only home to some “Real Housewives” but also the home of many snazzy restaurants, top dollar retailers, the mecca of cribs and, of course, the home of the infamous Rodeo Drive! In order to walk these star studded streets you must be dressed to impress; you never know who you might bump into. Always come armed with your biggest shades and your floppiest hat for paparazzi protection! And don’t leave home without your best Hudson jeans, and your favorite Boho top. Because one must always be paparazzi ready in the LA sun! 

Where to stop and where to shop:
1. The Thompson Hotel:  Talk about a good rooftop bar and pool! If you need to lounge and enjoy the view this is a great place to wet your whistle and look good doing it.
2. Coupa Cafe: If your looking to people watch in an urban oasis, Coupa cafe is your place! With an amazing Venezuelan menu this is a must see/must eat spot! And did I mention they also have a bar?
3. Rodeo Drive: The infamous strip of luxury! The yellow brick road of fashion! The place of shopping sins. From Louis V. to Gucci to Prada, all your designer needs are here with open arms and just a skip away. Beware and be warned!
4. Soho House: Member’s only! This is the  private club for all the LA socialites. I’m pretty sure it’s way better then the peach pit. Basically all the known come out to play here and it’s a prime location to hang, dine and socialize. This is the membership you should be asking Santa for because without it your missing out!

Independence Day: Just another great all American excuse to par-tay!  That said, let’s ring in this day of explosions in the sky with good company, a good shindig, and a great outfit.

Let’s stick to a loose and airy look this weekend.  The heat wave is here and since most of the activities are outdoor it’s best to try and stay cool. Put on your tie blouse with some Hudson shorts, and pair with your most comfortable wedges. A definite red, white and blue hit!

Now here are a few ideas to celebrate your day of independence:

1. Beach BBQ: Usually the best way to spend the 4th is at a BBQ near the beach with your best buds! Get a potluck going, pick a beach and you got yourself a party. Maybe even rent out a beach house! Some local beaches are also having fireworks and activities for the 4th like: Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, and Long Beach.

2. Hall & Oates: Kick it old school at the  Hollywood Bowl with Hall & Oates! Nothing like some good ol’ fashion American music and firework show to celebrate the 4th with a group of music loving friends.

3. Poolside: If sitting poolside is your forte try heading over to The Roosevelt on Sunday the 3rd for the “Wet Pool Party.” Celebrating the 4th a day earlier with Miguel Migs DJing sounds like a great independence plan to me!

4. Booze Cruise: Nothing better then relaxing on a boat and admiring the BEST firework display over the pacific ocean! If this sounds good to you then reserve your seats on the Fireworks cruise of Newport beach. Food + booze + fireworks + no after party clean up = a perfect day!

The illustrious ‘bu aka Malibu aka Paradise.  What’s a typical day in the ‘bu consist of? Well, first you should throw on your frayed jean shorts, a printed tunic, favorite flats, cat eyed shades and don’t forget your surfboard on your way out the door. Put the top down on your convertible and lets head over to the Malibu Lumber Yard!  Malibu is THE place to get your tan on, shop on, drink on and grub on with the ocean by your side! 

With such places like the Malibu Lumber Yard you literally don’t have to go far for the main necessities: beach view, retail, amazing restaurants and beach bars. So why go anywhere else right? Especially with the infamous east coast Cafe Habana (uhhh-maze-ing Cuban food!) who has finally found it’s west coast home! Another great spot to cruise on over to is the world famous Malibu Inn, not only a hotel but has a cool bar which grabs a lot of attention with it’s outdoor patio. A must stop on PCH for sure!

Now, on the flip side, if you’re looking for more sun,  you can lay your towel down at the famous  Point Dume. Point Dum is the most relaxing secluded (kind of secret) beach on the Malibu coast! Another great sunny adventure to try on a good day is a hike at Temescal Canyon. You can literally see ALL of Los Angeles from the top.  Malibu has the best of both worlds, so it all depends on your poison for the day. Insider tip: Always bring your 2 piece. Because you just never know where you might end up!

Father’s Day is this Sunday! What do you have planned for the #1 Dad in the world? Well, let us give you some tips and hints of where to take him and what to get him:

Where to go:
1. The all American dad: The Dodgers are actually playing on Sunday so hurry up and order those tickets and give your pops some live action baseball. And don’t forget the Dodger dog, popcorn and an ice cold beer!
2. California dreaming: All California dads love the beach! So take him to the Santa Monica Pier for some fun in the sun! There’s fishing, bike riding, volleyball, and lots of places to eat and shop. If  your dad’s totally hip you should take him for some surfing lessons, nothing like a daddy/daughter/son hang ten sesh!
3. For the stylish dad: Get him a new pair of jeans that aren’t from the 80s! We love this pair and this pair! Your mom will definitely thank you on this gift!

What to get him:
1. High tech: Get your Dad up to date and snag him an Ipad! For sure he’ll be the coolest Dad on the block reading his morning paper on his brand new Apple Ipad.
2. The Man Cave: Some dad’s got them and other dad’s want them. Why not give your dad what he’s been wanting but maybe not saying out loud, a mini fridge or poker table for the garage! Help him spruce up that Man Cave with his hobbies/essentials.
3. TV Land: All dad’s have one thing in common: They all love their TV programs! So why not get your dad that new TV or new sound system his been eyeing everytime you go to Best Buy.
