Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills







A fancy yellow chair and a flower arrangement to match!


Juicy, Juicy, Oh where for art thou, Juicy! I snapped this picture inside the store and was immediately told NOT to take any more pics.. I could have spent all day snapping away! Gotta love Juicy Couture!

Alex had never been to Bev. Hills before so we took a tourist trip over there to see what was up in the hood! Lots of fancy shops, oh la la... and of course, Sprinkles Cupcakes and the less famous of the two, Crumbs, which had much more of a variety of interesting toppings... My personal fav. was Juicy Couture... Swanky sweat pants for $118 a pop! Yowza!

Long line of people waiting outside to go in.... Must be a popular place!

Sprinkles Cupcakes- not too impressive!

Crumbs Cupcake store in Beverly Hills... Looked very interesting but SWEET!

Sprinkles Cupcakes de Beverly Hills!






It's all the RAVE in L.A. - CUPCAKES! I heard a lot about this place but after seeing the cupcakes and finally tasting them... I wouldn't recommend them to anyone... They are priced at $3.25 each and they are not really my kind of cupcake. We had 4 to taste- milk chocolate, chai, red velvet and strawberry. My final words- frosting was way to buttery sweet and a little on the dry side, the cupcakew were moist enough but not too tasty... the strawberry was the best of the four! We all agreed that MY cupcakes were much much better- both in appearance and in taste!!!

Extrats de Claremont...






Alex, James, Aleli and the kids just chillin' after a meal from In 'n Out! Our time with James, Aleli and their beautiful family was so relaxing. It's a small college town with tons of charm and character!! It's a nature in the city... I couldn't believe all the trees, just my type of town!!
