Livin' It Up in LA LA Land: Day 2

It is 11:00 PM. My feet are sore, I have whip lash from over-exercising my credit card and I am now the proud owner of the most fabulous, leopard-print Steve Madden high heels which cost me all of $20.

That's right people. Day 2 of Livin' It Up in LA was spent shopping. Lots and lots of shopping.

Which was fine by me, as I had a hangover from the night before which I'm sure could have claimed my life had I not been hell-bent on burning up some serious cash-ola. I was lucky enough to attend the V Australia Official Launch party where I drank pomegranate martinis, saw Human Nature perform live and caught Vince Colossimo quite obviously staring at my breasts (but I mean... who could blame him?) But the real icing on this doozy of a Crispy Cream is that I saw Kellen Lutz. That's right kiddy-winks. Emmett from Twilight and I were partying at the same LA hot spot. And yes, he is all the more outlandishly gorgeous in real life. Thankfully, I didn't drool all over his feet.

But I did drink quite a few of the pomegranate martinis and therefore, felt like roadkill this morning. However, the wonderful thing about shopping is that it requires little energy apart from signing on the dotted credit line which I did...repeatedly. My highlight was Santa Monica where I discovered the all-time greatest vintage store - 'Wasteland'. My tip for future travellers, make this a pit stop! Awesome clothes, awesome bargains and you may just spy yourself a celebrity. The Olsen twins have been known to buy their ridiculously over-sized ponchos from this very place.

Well kids, I'm off to kiss my new leopard-print heels goodnight and crawl into bed. Stay tuned for tomorrow where I venture into the heart of Beverly Hills to see what I can find.

Ciao for now. xo

Livin' It Up in LA LA Land: Day 1

Hello my renegade readers! I greet you from the SLS Hotel on the Beverly Hills strip, a city made famous by the one and only, cigarette-smoking, leather toting prostitute-come-Park-Avenue-princess Vivienne of Pretty Woman fame. That's right. I'm in LA!

Here strictly for work purposes, I will be spending the next 10 days experiencing Los Angeles, the OC and Palm Springs and taking in as much sight-seeing, shopping and celebrities as possible. Flying over on the inaugural V Australia flight from Melbourne to LA, I've already seen my fair share of Aussie A-listers - Pippa Black, Vince Colossimo and Michael Klim. But with the itinerary I've got lined up over the next few weeks, I have a feeling the celebrity sight-seeing is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

Will try and touch base each day to fill you in on my adventures, but internet is pricey and I'm seriously time-poor - who has time for blogging when you've living it up in Beverly Hills?

Ciao for now! xo
