More LA Househunting!

We had a REALLY productive day of house-hunting today. The end is near...I can feel it!

Now that I've seen a bunch of properties, I know what I like and what I don't like. And one thing that I've decided I just HAVE to have is high ceilings.

So this time around we only looked at places with high ceilings.

The first one was the best. Impeccably decorated since the owner works for the container store.



AND it had this amazing private roofdeck.




Their closets were SO organized, they had all their different shoes in little plastic boxes. INSANE WEHO GAYS.



The second apt was similar to the first, but needed a bit more work.



Same high ceilings with a little loft and terrace area. This one probably makes the most sense investment-wise as it has two bedrooms that I could easily rent out.




The last one was like a little bachelor pad. It's just a living room with a loft, but it's amazing and already has two offers on it. I love it though.






I just need to finish doing my taxes this week. And then I will find out how big of a home loan I can get pre-approved for, and then I think we'll be pulling the trigger. Eeeek! Exciting!

We celebrated with Tender Greens.

I had a Kale Salad.



And then I popped into the brand-new West Hollywood Library. My new favorite place in the world. It is so beautiful.



ESPECIALLY when you compare it the old library - which was, for lack of a better word, a sh*thole.



The new library has so much seating, all overlooking the Pacific Design Center.




If I win MegaMillions this week, I am going to buy all of the above. INCLUDING the library.

House hunting in LA!

I popped in LA for 48 hours late Monday night.

Yesterday (Tuesday) was a day full of house-hunting.

We looked at like 8 different condos.

Most of them were way too small and low-ceilinged for me.





I'm convinced that I might have to live in a loft if I'm buying a place in LA.

My favorite of the bunch was 751 Fairfax.





The roofdeck was incredible.



After househunting I went to The Grove to meet up with the ladies for dinner, obesity, and a movie. We saw Chronicle. It was gooooood. The ending was stupid though.









Just did a quick photoshoot this morning.

And now I'm hopping on my flight back to NYC.

I land at 5am, will take a little nappy, and then will be then driving up to Vermont in the afternoon for ConCon's bachelorette party!

Diamond Flight to NYC / 36 hours in LA!

Tomorrow morning when I land at JFK I'm officially going to be a Delta Diamond!



It's been a whirlwind 36 hours here in LA.

I landed at 11am Tuesday morning and picked up my rental car and headed straight to my morning shoot.

They gave me a sweet little Wrangler for the price of my usual compact rental. Win!



My morning shoot was for this contest winner Charlie from the Brown Club of SoCal thingy we attended last time I was in LA. (I donated a free shoot to the raffle to help the club raise money.) He is a successful entrepreneur who fell into acting recently when he was randomly cast in a national commercial.

From my shoot in Santa Monica I booked it across town to meet up with Morgan and Luc for their engagement shoot. (I'll be shooting their wedding next summer.)

Morgan is taking off to shoot The Lone Ranger starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp and won't be back in LA until right before her wedding so I wanted to come out and get these pics done for her. So exciting!

We went up into the Hollywood Hills right by their home near the Hollywood sign and caught some great sunset light.

Then I went over to Evan's, took a quick nap. And Jesse came over and we went out for dwinks.



Look who we ran into! It's Cedric from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! He gave me a rose, so he can't be that bad... but please don't tell Lisa Vanderpump. I still want to her to be my best friend.



We got some late night burgers...



And then before I knew it it was Wednesday morning and I was at brunch at Hugo's with Danny!



We did some shopping on Rodeo...



And then we went to meet up with Matt to look at a West Hollywood condo that I immediately fell in love with.



This place is nuts!



Look at this bathroom! And there are TWO!



Look at this shelving!



The living room looks a lot like Bobby's!



I <3 house-hunting.

This COULD be my future west coast pad!!!!!!! AHhHHhHHHH!!!!
