PARKING:

Today will be busier than usual so please leave some extra time to find parking and to walk. You will have to pay for parking in most places around here so bring change or cash for an easy in and out. 

Do not park at CVS they will tow your car! 

You can park on the streets, make sure to read signs though and to bring change for the meters. The  closest  parking garage is off of 3rd & Sycamore and there are others off of 4th street near bistro 400 and another on 5th and Main. 

Best Dressed @ EXPO WEST

          After looking at all of the glorious products and even crazier displays I decided to it was time to take a break and do some people watching. I have to confess that sometimes when I go to the mall or a theme park I prefer to people watch over anything else. 

       Im guilty of playing a game of "is that or is that..." in reference to celebrity look alikes :) It may sound stupid at first but it passes the time and is a guaranteed laugh. And sometimes you might actually see a celeb so be on the lookout below because there is a photo of a famous musician! Can you spot him or her? 

       On another note, Im thinking not many people have been photographed for a blog and some of the people I asked were kind of confused as to why I wanted their photo. Well...I partly wanted to show photos of people at the convention, but not just any old people. I wanted to show the most stylish and cool looking attendees of EXPO WEST. I tried and this is what I gathered from my field study (don't I sound like some smart ass anthropologist) lots of yellow, chambray, colored jeans, large bags, black flats, black rim glasses and boots. 

Go West

Back in March my sister and I attended EXPO WEST to do some product research for Road Less Traveled!It was our first time attending and we were def. blown away by the awesomeness! 

If ya'll aren't familiar with what I'm talking about EXPO WEST is an annual springtime show held at the Anaheim convention center featuring natural products for all aspect of life including: health, beauty, textiles, food, and home accessories. There was an enormous amount of cool products and everyone was friendly and offered generous samples of their products! And since I had my badge on Saying my job title and company name it was a great way of doing some networking. 

While I was there I made sure to take photos of all the cool products displays as well as some people watching :)  ENJOY

Musical Escape

Let the whimsical melodies of Little Dragon mixed with vintage films release your mind. Its the weekend and not all of us have the luxury of having it off. At least a musical escape can help you unwind for just a moment.

That Spring You Do

Though being a 7 year old Elle magazine issue, this photo shoot featuring Natalie Portman surprisingly evokes the look of Spring 2012! She can do no wrong, Natalie, that is. Rocking neon, pastels, subtle tribal prints, knits, dewy skin and almost ombre hair she looks so "of the moment". 

See more of what I'm talking about below, and thank me later:)
