When in LA : Katsuya

When you are visiting LA (or while living there), the ultimate spot to dine is the Japanese restaurant Katsuya. Whether you choose the Hollywood or Brentwood location, you 'll enjoy the food and cocktails side by side your favorite celebrity. All celebrities love to dine there, as they love Japanese cuicine. Paparazzi are every night there waiting for a celebrity shot. So, dress fashionably and stylish and who knows; maybe you'll eat your sushi next to Kim Kardashian or Ashley Tisdale! Enjoy the pictures of some celebrities leaving Katsuya!

When in LA : Universal Studios

A few months ago I travelled with my sis to Los Angeles from Greece. We were visiting our beloved cousin and stayed there 2 and a half weeks. For me it was the perfect trip, although it was my second time in La La Land. We had a great time and did tons of stuff, I' ll probably write a post about the trip soon.

Today, I just wanna share with you guys one of our craziest days, the one we visited Universal Studios in Hollywood. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We took the studio tour, all rides (my fave was by far the Simpsons ride), watched some shows (Shrek included) and embraced our fears at House of Horrors (OMG you can't even imagine how scary it was). We stayed there from 11am to 6pm and had the time of our lives. The highlight was the food; I got to try a cinnamon roll at Cinnabon and I looooved it! Anyway, enjoy some photos and visit asap!

Levi's skinny jeans

Ugg boots in sand

Rayban sunnies in blue

I hope you enjoyed the photos! My advice? Buy the "Front of Line" pass, at least that was what we did and we managed to take all rides several times. I mean the place is overcrowded. Have you ever been there? What's your favorite ride or highlight?

When in LA : Planet Blue

Planet Blue is one of my favorite stores in LA. I love the store on Beverly Dr in Beverly Hills as well as the one at the Malibu Country Mart in Malibu. There you can find amazing designers such as Elizabeth and James, Mara Hoffman, Rebecca Taylor, Ella Moss, Foley+Corinna, Wildfox and many more. All pieces, from tees to accessories represent the California style and they scream for summer.

Celebrities seem to know all about it, that's why they shop often at Planet Blue. I could say that some of my favorite celebrities, such as Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens, shop exclusively there, especially at the store in Malibu. They shop their bathing suits, sandals, tees, dresses and accessories. Enjoy some paparazzi photos of them after shopping at Planet Blue!
