Happy Ice and a few other spots are included on my recent “Best New Restaurants In LA” blog post update!!

Burgers fit for a condiment queen 👸🏼🍔🙋

Burgers fit for a condiment queen 👸🏼🍔🙋🏼‍♀️ @we.are.uncool JUST opened in Larchmont, and have officially recieved a very enthusiastic L&LLA stamp of approval for their equally as delicious (and drippy 🙏) smash burgers and fried chicken sandwiches 😍!!! Well, those, and the fries, and the onion rings, and the (vegan!) shakes 🤣🙌 and the fact that $1 from every Feel Good Combo meal goes to @theofficialstompoutbullying. If you’re looking for a new burger to try, look no further and “lose your cool” 😉😎 #uncoolburgers #larchmont #lafoodie #laeats #smashburger #friedchickensandwich #ilovela #lalove

Took my new @everydaypursuits x @lspace suit out for a day at the beach!!! 😎🌴🌊 I could not be any happier and more excited for my girl Ash and this absolutely epic collaboration 😭❤️👏. She’s the reason I bought my first l*space suit earlier this year, and the reason I now COMPLETELY understand the obsession! I have never been the most comfortable in swimwear, but l*space just knows how to make a suit that’ll make a girl feel like a million bucks. Pair their craftsmanship with Ashley’s eye for design, fashion, and all that is chic, and voila - a perfect collection 🤗
.
And there are still pieces available!!! Including the Lockhart one piece (that totally doubles as a bodysuit 🙌) but head to my stories to Ashley’s page for a link to the collection and all the info! 🥳 #EDPxLSPACE #lspace

I can’t tell you how nice it was to experience m

I can’t tell you how nice it was to experience my first “night out” in LA in 3 months, and to have Calabra at the @santamonicaproper be the destination 😫🙏❤️. From having an excuse to dress up (oh and did I do a thing 🤣), being at one of my favorite rooftops in LA, enjoying cocktails and some seriously great food, to simple dining pleasures like catching bits of LA people’s hilarious conversations 😂, it was absolute perfection. Damn have I missed this.
.
I’ll be honest, like most of us I’m sure, I was a bit nervous what to expect, how it would go, and ultimately how I’d feel. But after that night, and after seeing the level of care in which The Proper is putting into making sure everyone is safe (the precautions I hope ALL LA restaurants are taking) was such a sigh of relief. If you are not comfortable going out yet I totally get it! I am just here to share my own experience in the matter 🤗.
.
SO!! On that note, I updated my blog post with a list of the best Rooftops and Patios in LA, with a highlight of what spots are currently open and excited to see you 🙏. (Link in my bio and stories!)
.
Where are you thinking of going first? Or where have you already gone and enjoyed? DO TELL ❤️

ROSÉ. ALL. DAY. 🥳 Picked up a plethora of delicious rosé at @aldiusa to toast to life, happiness, and warm days ahead! Can you believe it’s officially summer? Pretty sure yesterday was March, but I’m also pretty sure I’m excited for more Saturdays that look a little something like this 😂💖 #AD #ALDILove #ALDISips

Over the past few weeks I have been absolutely thrilled to discover and learn more about a number of incredible Black-owned brands, creatives, and businesses located right here at home in LA 🤗 - one of my recent favorites being @shopfksp!! (thanks to @yvettecorinne! 😚)THIS SKIRT 💛🌞.
.
FKSP (Folake Kuye Style Pantry) is a Nigerian, women-owned business, and they specialize in beautifully crafting some of the most fun, feminine, and accessible pieces for the everyday woman (seriously I want it all 😂). AND everything is ethically made in Los Angeles to boot 🙌
.
Happy Juneteenth, I hope you’ll celebrate with me by buying from local Black-owned businesses today and continue to do so regularly!!! (The link to my on going list of Black-owned businesses in LA is in my bio if you’d like to check it out!) 🖤 #juneteenth #blackownedbusiness #supportblackbusinesses #madeinla #ilovela

This past week was just the beginning of lifelong

This past week was just the beginning of lifelong journey ahead. While I am hopeful and energized after what I’ve witnessed, there is of course still much to be done. And as I slowly re-introduce small moments of my personal life, I am holding myself accountable, and I promise to continue to listen, learn, and fight against systemic racism. I stand with my LA community, my Black and POC peers, and will do everything in my power to continue to #amplifymelanatedvoices.
.
This is just a start, but I’ve created and shared a database on my site of Black-owned businesses in LA that will be updated as I gather information, and will always be available to reference. (Link in my bio)
.
I hope you’ll join me in this continued fight - support Black-owned businesses and keep protesting, donating, learning, growing, listening, connecting, and voting! There is power in unity, and which ever lane(s) you choose to travel down in this revolution, know you are heading in the right direction - “just keep your foot on the gas.” Love you all so much. ❤️ #blacklivesmatter #losangeles
