So, obviously I’m married already and this entry is waaaay, super belated, but I wanted to document my LA bachelorette weekend!

Originally when my girlfriends asked me where I wanted to go for my bachelorette, I had something calm and relaxing in mind, like a weekend spa retreat in Calistoga or Napa. But I soon remembered that marriage = joint bank accounts and I’d better do some major shopping while I still could! I’ve quit shopping almost cold turkey since the wedding, but it was nice to get some last minute splurges in. My friends organized a shopping extravaganza/ yogurt eating weekend in where else, but the City of Angels!

The very first thing we did when we got into LA was to stop to get some yummy-in-my-tummy yogurt at Red Mango in Westwood.

LA is the perfect city to drive a red convertible.

Saturday morning we had brunch at The Farm and did a little shopping around Beverly Hills.

I found a totally cute winter jacket at Club Monacco, where we ran into Laurence Fishburne. I lived in LA for two years and rarely saw anyone famous. There would be some see stars on the movie lot where I worked, but I never ran into anyone in public places. During my bachelorette weekend, semi-famous people were everywhere, although they were mostly C-list celebs. I think the only people that I would actually get star struck over would be John Mayer, because I think he is just AWESOME on the guitar, and Chris Martin, because I am Coldplay’s biggest fan.

After Beverly Hills, we hit up Melrose for some shopping. The girls that couldn’t hang with my eight-hour shopping marathon went to get their nails done.

Fred Segal was having a sale–50% off almost everything in their store! I scored a few cute shirts for next to nothing.

We couldn’t NOT eat Pinkberry. I don’t understand my strange inclination towards Pinkberry. It’s really not that great, yet I still crave eating it.

Here, Cousin Eggplant and I are both enjoying an afternoon refresher.

We had dinner and cocktails at Katana over on Sunset Blvd.

Darn, and I thought I would get away with not wearing a veil the whole weekend.

After Sunday’s church service, we ate at this super yummy Korean restaurant. I forgot what it’s called, but three months later, I’m still craving it.

I wish I could find this style of Korean food up in norcal! I’ve never seen any restaurants that serve the thin Korean rice paper wrap with BBQed meat. It was SO FREAKIN’ GOOD. *drools* If any norcal folks know where I can eat this up in the bay area, I will love you forever.

And that’s my bachelorette weekend in a nutshell!
