Los Angeles is overpopulated with midnight owls with city insomnia, it never sleeps. It’s impossible to really tell the time standing in the city where the crowds are always gathering at the trendiest bars. It’s the prettiest scenesto see how Los Angeleans dress up for a Friday night, and hear how everyone in the same bar all work for the film industry.
LA’s lovely at night. I’ll be missing the lights.

Standing between the cliffs of Palos Verdes felt like stepping at the edge of heaven, the waves were beautiful and the surfers were fearless. The wind was rather strong, chasing away the earlier depression clouds, the sun shone through as the light splashed across the ocean. Many people asked me where this photograph was taken and answered in disbelief that this beautiful place could be Los Angeles.

Hidden away off a courtyard, this tiny wood-paneled restaurant in the dimly lit courtyard, I walked in feeling as if I was in Paris again. Café Stella is one of my favorite restaurant in LA, the Belgium beer and the truffle-oil frites are to die for. Try out their daily cheese platter, piave will always be my love. The candles and the red wooden walls are perfect for a romantic night out in the city :)

The indie music scene is pretty big here in LA. We didn’t really plan to see a gig that night, we just happened to feel a bit jazzy that night and decided to go to one of the best music bar in LA, Hotel Cafe.
This spontaneity did not disappoint. They had artists around the clock, one every hour. We went at nine, the first performance was more country than I would have liked but the second performance really blew us away. Aijia Lise performed with a four piece band and I really loved her voice. Her music was soulful and she sang with such joy and passion.
There are still other music bars to try out, another one of my favorite is Dresden, their signature drink is to die for. Another music bar, another post.
