exploring la

at the restaurant phillipe chow (which was terrible!) we tried to eat these food colored chicken strips.
i don't recommend them but the color is quite interesting!

over the summer i went to Rhode Island School of Design for a six week summer intensive on fashion design. there i met emily, the girl featured in the photos above, who turned out to be one of my close friends. my mom and i took the trip up to la from san diego to visit her and had a blast! we visited all of our favorite places, such as the ivy and the ralph lauren store on rodeo drive, but emily introduced us to a new favorite place, katsuya! another exciting experience she introduced my mom and i to was getting our hair cut at warren tricomi. i'm petrified of getting hair cuts, but somehow it did not seem horrible in such a posh environment!
