Girl on the go Bloomingdale divides her time between the West Coast and her home in Highland Park. BF When to go. Anytime, since it's always 75 and sunny. Design and art. Sonia Boyajian's store on La Brea Avenue. Everything is made by hand and has such personality. Bowls, dishes, pots, vases, pitchers, jars, objects … Fair warning, it's addicting. Retail. Mameg is the best shop in LA. It's an iconic yet under-the-radar destination for fashion. Bless Berlin is my favorite line. And Margaret Birdseye cashmere. Restaurant. Polo Lounge at The Beverly Hills Hotel, hands down. Booth 1 or 3. Chicken tenders or quesadillas for me. Go downstairs to The Cabana Cafe for the hotel's fountain drink machine, which is (a) important and (b) only open for lunch. The tall and handsome Faisal runs that joint. Hotels. Must have pink walls and palm trees. Hotel Bel-Air for its tranquil, elegant ambiance, or The Beverly Hills Hotel for it being the happiest place to be in California. Cocktails. Find your way to San Vicente Bungalows. They'll let you leave your car overnight if those spicy margaritas get you.
