And then we have to party of course! Thin/Onyx ...smelled like sewage, but otherwise cool. And the rooftop bar/lounge on top of the W. Comes equipped with WARM SAND!!!!!!! and FIRE PIT! And Cabanas! And we met 3 Navy SEALS... HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's one of 'em! Heehee! (after a few drinks of course)
SAN DIEGO, I luvvvv ya!
Who knew San Diego could be such a blast!!? Rollin' with Danny, Kat, Pat and Nick down to SD for the weekend was quite the treat. Loaded up in Green Machine, packed our clothes and off we went with Beef Jerky in hand!
If you want to stay @ a aweeesome place in SD, stay @ the W San Diego! Recently I got the Starwood Preferred Guest Platinum Amex credit card and it's the best thing since sliced bread! You get points for all Starwood hotels (W's, St. Regis, Sheratons, Westins all around the world) and you can transfer for miles or do Cash and Points for hotels. It's awesome. Best deal ever!!
W of San Diego was particularly great cuz they have a conciege service called Whatever/Whenever and to sum it up: they'll make any request/wish happen. They have such pull with restaurants and clubs in the area ---- places where locals have to wait a hour to 1.5 hours, we didn't even have to wait. Our names to the top of the list on arrival!

END OF SUMMER PART 1
So today is July 1st and I feel like Summer Part 1 is already overs. Summer only started last week but much has changed and finished already with July and August still yet to bloom. Summer Part 1 is over because sister Kat's 3-month sabatical to LA concluded today which means sister Pat is back from her 3-month sabatical in EUrOpA! and Summer in retail ends now with Fall rollin' in when the weather just started to get HOT HOT HOT.
Kat's stay here has been better than expected. She's a fabulous roommate so if anyone ever needs one, and if she's ever available (which she prolly won't be), definitely swipe her up. But what a pleasant person to live with! Responsible, clean, tidy, cooks, etc.! Anyways, it was fun brunching every week, making dinner, going out for dinner, getting lots and lots of coffee, much Peet's, discovering great cheese danishes, and exploring LA! Too bad she is now back to AZ with her other Chen's! Boo-hoo.
3 months of Summer clothing in the store has been great! Fall though, I'd say, is J.Crew's best season of clothing so I look forward to all the great preppy stuff!
This week we also Tea'd @ Bel Air Hotel! It was super elegant, sat in the terrace and it was a perfect day outside! The hotel itself is lodged in the hills above Westwood in Bel-Air. The whole hotel is so nicely tucked away in the hills that the LA traffic doesn't even exist. Fine china! Buttery Currant Scones!Beautiful weather! All n All... FABULOUS...with a side of NANCY REGAN! She was doing an interview (Kat and I concluded). Anyways, doing afternoon isn't cheap, but is a girly luxury every gal should do with her girlfriends every once in a while! SEE PICS.
Other food highlights include FATHER'S OFFICE in Santa Monica...best burger I think I've ever had. SEE PIC below. Washed down with beer, ale, cider, and their fries, GOSH DARN, are GOOOD too!
ALCOVE cafe in SILVERLAKE was amazing too. Look it up, it's like an URTH but not as "health nut."
