As an L.A. girl, I’m always ready to see the unique sights of this wonderful city. Here are just some of the ways I spend my summer in the City of Angels.
The Hollywood Sign
I had the pleasure of visiting this iconic image during a photo shoot the other day, and it was worth the hour walk! If you want to reach the closest to the sign, start at the end of Deronda Drive. Next, start walking up the road. In 60 minutes you should reach a fence, the closest legal viewpoint of the sign.
In-n-Out
You can’t get this taster burger in the East Coast. And you can’t enjoy a California summer without one. Perhaps it’s tasty because they only use 100 percent pure beef that is free of preservatives and additives. I also love the place because the menu is simple: burgers, fries, and shakes.
Poolside Fun
Besides the beach, the only way to beat an incredibly hot Los Angeles day is to jump into the pool. If you don’t have one at home or in your apartment, don’t sweat it. The City of Angels is home to many beautiful hotels that open their pools to the public for summer events.
LA Style
Wondering how the locals dress in L.A.? Los Angeles style is invariably evolving, and the look of the moment always depends on the person. That’s because the City of Angels is all about embracing individual style. That said -- there are a few ways you can always spot an Angelino. Whether you’re on vacation or have been living here all of your life, use this simple guide to fit in no matter where you go in L.A.
Show some skin.
Don’t waste a beautiful warm day in Los Angeles covered up. Southern California is blessed with abundant sunshine and true Angelinos know how to get their vitamin D. So break out your summer dresses, short skirts, and short shorts.
Flaunt high heels. Since you rarely have to walk in this city,
you can easily get away with wearing your tallest heels -- even while
out running errands.
Get colorful. A Los Angeles native always stands out, whether it’s bright pink lipstick, a bright yellow dress, or red heels. Don’t be afraid to break out the rainbow while living in L.A.!
