The Hunz in Hollywood!

I'm going to be doing a few posts on this trip! 

One miserable Saturday I was working and decided to enter a competition on KEY 103 which was to win a trip to LA, for 5 days everything paid for, $500 spending money, fast track tickets to Universal Studios and a guided tour around the Hollywood Hills Homes .... and guess what I won!!!! I couldn't believe it, it was probably almost the same feeling as winning the lottery, the sad news is I could only take one friend with me which was really hard because we go everywhere together (HUNPACK) but we came to the decision that it made sense that my best friend Casey who would of been the only one who would be 21 at the time should come with me, due to America's 21 to drink rule and obviously we wanted to party in LA! 



Here we go we flew from Manchester to London Heathrow to LAX, it took 17 hours of airport time but trust me it was worth all the nasty plane food in the world! LAX- LHR (we bought these name tags for our suitcases from Kitson) 



WE MADE IT! We stayed at The ANdAZ on sunset boulevard, famous for holding parties for the Rolling Stones and other big bands way back when, more famous in my eyes for when Kendall Jenner had her sweet 16th here, you can see it aired on the old Keeping up with the Kardashians! P.s Johnny Depp's house was literally right behind our hotel in the Hollywood Hills! 



Here's the view from our room, some of the Hollywood Hills (oh to be a millionaire)


Here's me on the rooftop pool of our hotel, below is our pool and below that is me an Casey doing a selfie of our view, Casey wearing Ray Ban aviators and Me with Gold River Island sunglasses, also known as my (Willy Wonka's)



I'm gonna start with all our nights out and introduce the days out later on ... 

Our first night out we first went to a Dtrkt for a be you campaign for a few drinks and got to meet Karruche also famous for being Chris Browns girlfriend! 


After we went to SKY bar for more pre drinks where we got to sip drinks round the pool and look at the beautiful Hollywood at night. 


We then carried onto SupperClub LA got ourselves into VIP luckily the bouncer was from England, the club is full of white beds surrounding the dance floor, with dancers swinging from the roof pouring champagne it's just another world. 


SPOT THE HUNZ! 




For all this night, I wore an oriental mesh themed co-ord from Zara with nude heeled sandals a triple chain from new look and a nude Lilly mulberry bag.


Casey wore a houndstooth co-ord from Forever 21 with black river island platform heels and a black zara belt and bag! 

 
Our second night out we was lucky enough to get a table in The Ivy, a famous celebrity hotspot! 


It's decorated everywhere with lovely fresh flowers an fairy lights very countrified theme ... I love this picture of Casey with the beautiful view of outside!


Later on we went to a Guess fragrance Launch party at Greystone Manor another celebrity hotspot for people like Drake and The Kardashians, we had the best night brilliant atmosphere and got a table right behind the Dj booth. Highly recommend it for one of the best nightclubs in Hollywood! 


I wore a red playsuit which looks like a backless dress from the Rihanna for River Island collection with a black and gold Moschino waist belt, gold peep toe platforms from Miss Selfridge and a Miu Miu clutch bag, with a gold plated choker from Zara and Marc Jacobs black and gold watch 


Casey wore a black Zara playsuit with a peplum studded Zara waist belt, with a triple gold chain, black River Island platforms and black Zara clutch.

 

Now starting with our days in LA, we had fast track tickets to Universal Studios Hollywood, to say we didn't have long in LA it wasn't vital we went but we did really enjoy it, got to see behind the scenes of where they shoot all major tv shows and got on set of the desperate housewives hysteria lane the set of whoville from The grinch and the film set from The Transofrmers where they bought and smashed up a real life plane ... BEWARE of the mummy ride we was not expecting the droppppppp!!


We had breakfast one morning at The Chateau Marmont hotel on sunset boulevard, hoping to see some celebrities but unfortunatley we never seen any, you need to look up this hotels celebrity history so interesting, I watched a documentary on the plane home about it and was hooked from start to finish!

The food is very pricey an not your average English breakfast we went for the breakfast burrito and it was to spicy for my liking but the experience in going itself is worth the cost!



One day we headed roughly 40 mins out of Hollywood to Santa Monica where we did a bit of shopping up the main high street went to Santa Monica Pier and watched the sunset over the beach the skyline was unreal! 


We then got a taxi further up to Venice beach, sadly we got there at night so didn't get to see it in its full potential with all the men on muscle beach and people rollerblading up the beachfront but we're still glad we went and got some dinner whilst we was there! 


We also went shopping at The Grove, The Galleria, Melrose avenue, Rodeo Drive and the Beverley Centre all places you must go and see an shop there whilst your in LA! 





We did a guided tour of the hills with starlinetours.com  we got to see all the celebrity homes from David Beckham, Justin Timberlake and the late Michael Jackson's and many many more here's one of hundreds of pictures we took from the tour, I'd recommend you travel with the open top bus as it gets to hot being trapped inside with the crazy heat in the normal mini buses ... 



View from behind the wheel, driving through Beverley hills.


The driver took us to a point where we could see LA high up also know as San Fernando valley.

We got a taxi up to the closet point we could get to the famous Hollywood sign I think it cost us about $35 but it was worth it you can't go to hollywood and not get your photo taken with it! However it did say on a sign we was trespassing but no one said anything (naughty hunz)


Here I'm wearing a dress from the 
Glamorous collection from Mamps boutique, and office white boat shoes! 



Here I am on the Hollywood walk of fame with the olsens twins star, love this picture! 



Here I'm wearing a green pleated long skirt from a vintage shop in Manchester a cream backless waistcoat style top from wallis, my nude Lilly mulberry bag, cream now from Enola rose and gold plated zara choker.
