summer in full effect

Finally spent some time wit ma familia, heading out full force in LA. Here we are, at Portos for lunch - fueling ourselves for the day of shopping that is to come!

These famous cheese rolls are street crack for every Glendale & surrounding areas native. Try it once, and you'll come back for more. You can bet on it.

Beforehand, we hit up Melrose & I sold off my stored treasures. Collectively, we received a $65 check from Wasteland & $56 in store credit at another Vintage store. All in all, I was pretty satisfied from the amount credited to us.
Afterwards, we headed to Americana, the new shopping complex reminiscent of Victoria Gardens/ The Grove (same building company). A key feature of the leisurely stroll included Vegas-esque watershows, built from the same company that constructed Bellagios famed waterfronts

Favorite stores included Juicy Couture, where my gold fetish hit overdrive. I also had my eye on a ghettoblaster boombox over at Urban Outfitters. By the end of the summer, I will hopefully get my money right & come home wit that! Since that was not the case, I settled for nerdy glasses & a bass-amplifying attachment for regular earpieces. Also, Elainne & I also rode the trolly, which circles the area every 15 minutes, giving visitors a complete tour of its premier attractions.

Passing through Glendale Galleria, a soft and tender reminder of yesterday's outcome:Photobucket
We bouncin back, no doubt.
