Yes, trust me, sometimes in L.A. you do need a thick knit sweater, some other times you even need a scarf and sometimes -just a few times- you even need both of them together! The funny thing is, since this is an extraordinary phenomenon that only happens in rare occasions and never more than -I...

The Sacred Door is this space, located at some point of Lincoln Blvd. when it crosses Venice, where last Venice Bazaar took place. If you are new in town, as I am, you have probably gone by with your car a hundred times without even realizing about it but now that I have discovered...

I am sure this is happening because they had been consigned to oblivion for ages. And now, all of a sudden they have moved again into my closet, threatening to stay. Obviously, the comeback of the white trousers can only be explained -in my case- due to the spring-like fall in California. Yes, it...

It really looked a little funny in the beginning, to be sincere; twelve people from five different nationalities -unfortunately, with no native to guide us-, trying to celebrate Thanksgiving traditionally. Traditionally. Traditionally according to who? To our own imagination, I guess.
Actually, an despite all our previous inexperience I think we kind of made it,...

We had an amazing week with Paula, a pretty hectic week also, to be sincere. The thing is, when you have people visiting you always end up going back to the same touristic and so-called-must-see spots to get the same frustration faces after discovering what the Walk of Fame is really like, with the...

One of the advantages of having people visiting is that, in many occasions, you end up discovering pretty cool places that, maybe, without them here, you wouldn’t have discovered.

Of all the stuff I bought last month what I am really, really, willing to wear for the first time is a neoprene suit that makes me looks like Scarlett Johansson in The Avengers film. Ok, maybe I am exaggerating a little bit… but hey, just a little bit!
Anyway, the thing is I’m...

A couple of days ago, wandering around the neighborhood I discovered this shop called Heist. I have to confess the discovery was only half by chance and half by moral obligation: you don’t need more than two days in L.A. to know that Abbot Kinney Blvd. is one of those street you can’t skip...

I don’t really know if I could find a better expression for our last move than ‘change of scene’; although the change does not only imply the scene but also the country, the continent, the time zone… The thing is I can’t think of a more opposite place to Germany than Los Angeles but,...
