My love affair with LA stems from another greatly appreciated love of mine, shopping. I like to stay in the decadent SLS Hotel on La Cienega Boulevard as it’s in the heart of Beverly Hills and only a hop away from Pretty Woman territory, Rodeo Drive. Vintage specialist store Decades is my favourite destination for 20th Century vintage couture and only a short walk along Melrose Ave, as is Kitson and Marc Jacobs. With all the shopping going on it’s easy to build up a healthy appetite and my favourite place for dinner is in the garden of the Chateau Marmont. With its mellow, peaceful and beautiful setting it’s almost as if it’s been designed specifically for you to play catch up with friends. There’s a great congregation of Aussie’s based in tinsel town so I always make sure to pack my party pass as a frivolous night out is always on the cards. For me LA is about hard work at its easiest and if you look beyond the superficial surface you will notice that the city has a natural beauty about it where the desert and mountains run into and along the pacific. – SW
