Gloomy Moan-day is what yesterday was. The sun has been hiding the last couple of days in Los Angeles. It's been a little chilly and rain seems to be coming our way. Do you know what that means? It means not wearing sun dresses, shorts, skirts or sandals. On the contrary, it means cuddling/movie time on Netflix or hulu :) . At least I won't feel bad that rain is also expected in Boston while we are visiting.
Although the weather has been gray, it didn't stop me from running errands. Part of those errands was to purchase a new lipstick. I've been searching for a matte red/orangy lipstick (a color similar to ones from the runway i.e.Marc Jacobs). I came across "So Chaud" by MAC. It fit the characteristics that I liked and I purchased it. In fact, I liked it so much that I applied right away (as you can see on my photos below).
And btw, I am in LOVE with this olive green jacket (as you can tell). I like how it makes an outfit look cool yet chic at the same time. It's almost like a go-to jacket. I've worn it here, here, and here.
p.s. I am also sharing photos that I took Sunday on La Brea & San Vicente. This wall always has different street art.
p.p.s The Remainers are still part of K-ROQ's Locals Only show. Please vote for them here.

I love Los Angeles. I Los Angeles because my drive to work consists of glancing through a variety of street art. I mean, where else do you get that? Yes, San Francisco and New York, but Los Angeles is such a bigger city with different areas where you can encounter ART. In fact, La Brea is where it's at. I took the liberty of snapping some photos of street art that I encountered before going in to work.


La Brea & Beverly









La Brea & 3rd Street



La Brea & Wilshire (I've always wanted to snap a photo of this building. Fortunetly, I came across a red light that allowed me to do so.)

On my way driving to work from a meeting in West LA, I noticed something unusual on a blank wall on Robertson (my occasional route to work). While waiting for the red light to turn green, I was able to examine the image that was unusual. It was an image of a little boy peeing pink on the wall. After the light turned green, I immediately pulled over, grabbed my camera and walked towards the wall to snap some photos.
I was excited to have encountered this because it was freshly posted (like couple of hours before I saw it and no one had yet to report it). I immediately thought it was Banksy's work that I luckily encountered, based on the image and the style. It's been reported that he could be in town, however, there's no official word that it is his work.

My friends and I attended the last Mondrian Session 2011, presented by KCRW, Thursday evening. Twin Sister was the band who performed inside the SPIN Hollywood at the Mondrian. It was a small place and filled with nifty people. There was no stage and it was a little hard to see the performance, but the music was loud and clear. Everyone danced (some danced a little too crazy).




Inside the women's restroom, there was a large space for guests to express themelves using colored chalk.























After the live session, we all walked to Mel's Drive-In on the Sunset Strip. I ordered all the sweets that I've been longing for.



For the first time in four months, I finally had a slice of chocolate cake (I've been craving it sooo bad and I'm on a diet.)
