First of all, happy new year! I hope you all had a fabulous holiday season! My last week of 2011 was spent exploring the beauty that is California. After the 5 day trip, I brought home with me great memories, two new pairs of shoes, some new clothes, a new bag (not a satchel, but something equally as beautiful!), and 850 photos. Yes, 850 photos. I knew I took a lot of photos, but I didn’t realize it was that many! I haven’t taken photos of my purchases yet, but I’ll be sure to share them in a post later on. For now, enjoy these!
































3 food joints I highly recommend for if you are ever in the LA area:
1. Botegga Louie – I tried the half/half Clam and Burrata Pizza and Portabella Mushroom Fries, photographed above.
2. Urth Caffe – I tried the Spanish Latte and Matcha Green Tea Latte. Both so good.
3. Honey Pig in Koreatown – So good I went twice in 5 days. A must-try! Just look at those last three photos…
Wow, you made it to the end of this long post. THANK YOU for reading, and I look forward to sharing more with you on Silk and Satchels this year!

I went to California twice this past Summer, isn’t it THE BEST? I LOVE it there, and Venice beach was definitely one my faves! So beautiful. Looks like you had a wonderful time!

@Bonnie Omigosh, it IS the best!! We had so much fun! Venice was one of my fave spots too…such a fun walk along the boardwalk, and that Cali weather…just beautiful!
@Veronika Thank you! The pizza was definitely delish. If you ever visit LA, the restaurant is called Botegga Louie
I can’t believe you sat on the venice beach sand :/ haha Good to see you got the animal style at In n Out! I tried to find you on tv at the game
I miss Cali but after living there my whole life, I think I’m done with it. Your pics look great! What kind of camera do you use?
The pics look absolutely gorge! Mel & I went to Cali two years ago but we completely missed out Venice beach and In-N-Out Burger
. looks like you had a blast
@Mia Thank you and omigosh you finally commented! <3 We loved the animal style at In n Out! I use this cam here: http://bit.ly/t5MPtH Many have asked and commented on the quality of the pics, so I guess I made a good choice! It’s been awesome so far, considering it’s not really a DSLR
@Sellina Thank you! I loved Venice Beach and In n Out was awesome, too! At least Cali isn’t too far, you two can always go again! Hehe
Looked like a fun trip with some amazing food! I need to make a trip to LA and go to Bottega Louie!
