Visit: The Getty Villa

By Leave a Comment

Ah, the Getty Villa. If you’ve been, you will completely understand all the exclamations in this post. If you haven’t, you’ll hopefully plan a trip soon! There are countless picturesque and aesthetically perfect architectural gems in L.A. and Pacific Palisades; but how do you compare to a locale that is not only beautiful but also enlightening? If you have any interest in the arts and cultures (and the residual antiquities) of ancient Greece, Rome or Etruria, you’ll be so pleased! It’s truly awe-inspiring. You definitely won’t want to leave. The peristyle alone commands at least 15 minutes of your time. Such a beauty!
If you plan on visiting both the Getty and the Getty Villa, be sure to get your parking validated to take advantage of the “Pay Once, Park Twice” promotion. Parking at each location is $15, but if you visit both sites on the same day, you’ll receive a voucher for complimentary parking at the other location. Great, right? Be sure to ask at the Information Desk!

Longchamp Love

Bag: Longchamp via Nordstrom || Nails: Face Stockholm via J. Crew (similar)

I really can’t tell just how much I love my Longchamp bags. The medium shoulder tote is the most convenient as a beach bag, shopping bag and just about everything else! The color of this bag makes it such a great spring to summer transition piece, which is always a good thing. Long live Longchamp! :)

Pick Your Plum

Have you heard of Pick Your Plum? I’ve been loving the deals they’ve been posting lately (as usual)! I’ve found some of my favorite crafting items. Every morning at 7 a.m. MST they post a fun discounted crafting, jewelry or home decor item. The item is offered until it sells out, which usually happens every day! My recent favorites have been several rolls of cute washi tape and a super cute chalkboard. You can see the daily deal here—just look for the Pick Your Plum button on the right sidebar. Isn’t today’s pick adorable? And guess what? They’re 66% off! Can’t wait to use them!
