I had such a fun time visiting my sister in LA this past March! This was my second time visiting Los Angeles and it was mainly to be able to spend time with my sister who has lived there for the past 3 years. I definitely did a lot more “touristy” type things on my first visit so if you want to check out that blog post as well for my ideas you totally can! We squeezed in a trip to Malibu and Ojai as well which I will be sharing full blog posts on soon, but we were still able to do quite a few LA things which I wanted to share with you guys in this post!

My outfits from this trip were from Grey State Apparel, Unpublished, and Vivaia. Use the code “ESPERANZA15” for 15% off of Grey State Apparel, use code 15ESPERANZA to save 15% on Unpublished, and “vlove” to save 10% on Vivaia!

Melrose Trading Post

If you are visiting Los Angeles on a Sunday and you love vintage, then you have to check out Melrose Trading Post! It’s an open air market with a plethora of vendors selling vintage clothing, home goods, collectibles, and antiques. Rocio and I had so much fun browsing but didn’t buy anything because everything was so pricey lol, but I loved browsing through all of the amazing vintage clothing! We spent several hours here but you could easily shop there all day! Tickets are $7 and they do have valet parking if you can’t find street parking nearby.

The Row DTLA

This was such a cool spot to check out in downtown Los Angeles for unique shopping and dining! The Row DTLA is a massive commercial development with offices, restaurants, shops, bars, and events spaces. My sister and I stopped by to check it out and we also got our nails done at Powder Beauty. We both got a luxurious manicure and pedicure with the prettiest floral foot bath and even rose! We also happened upon a beauty pop up event for Innisfree and picked up a ton of samples!

Lake Hollywood Park

My sister Rocio used to bring the twins she nannied to this park so she really wanted to take me here! Lake Hollywood Park is located in the Hollywood Hills right beneath the famous Hollywood Sign which makes the view from this park super cool. There were a lot of families and people playing with their dogs at the park as well as tourists checking out the views. Rocio snapped a few photos/videos for me here while we enjoyed the park for an hour or so before heading to our brunch spot for the morning.

Melrose Ave

We headed to Melrose for a lovely brunch at Coffee For Sasquatch on Melrose after visiting Lake Hollywood Park. Rocio had to leave for work so I worked remotely from Coffee For Sasquatch before heading to a lip filler appointment at Vivant Aesthetics which was just a few blocks down from the coffee shop. If you are interested in that, check out my blog post here all about getting lip filler at Vivant. Afterwards I checked out this cool vintage shop American Vintage. Years ago when Rocio and I visited Los Angeles, we did a full day of checking out shops and murals on Melrose (check out that blog post here), so if you love those things then you will definitely want to spend some time on the famous Melrose Ave!

Silver Lake

Silver Lake is a fun, trendy neighborhood in Los Angeles to explore. On the day I explored Silver Lake, Rocio and I had coffee at Alfred Coffee in the morning before she had to leave for work again. Luckily for me, there were several adorable boutiques located on the corner this coffee shop was on so I had plenty to explore before she was able to join me again. The shops photographed above are Clare V., Supergoodie, and Kamp. She also drove me around the Silver Lake reservoir so I could at least see it, which I know is very popular spot for the residents in the area to exercise/hang out at.

Venice Beach

On our last full day together in Los Angeles, Rocio and I were supposed to head to Laguna Beach but the rain was so bad in March when I visited that we decided it would be best to stay in LA instead so we headed to Venice Beach. I had already been there on my last trip to Los Angeles and loved the boutiques/restaurants on Abbot Kinney so we decided to do some browsing at the local shops. The shops photographed above are The Great, General Admission, and Flannel.

Roadtrip To Malibu

I decided to include this suggestion in my blog post for those that are staying in Los Angeles for a longer time and maybe have the time to squeeze a road trip to Malibu. If you do, I would highly suggest it! It is so beautiful there, I wish we could have stayed longer. While in Malibu, we checked out El Matador Beach and Point Dume, both of which were absolutely stunning! It was super easy to park at El Matador Beach because they had a big parking lot which you paid to park in. Point Dume was a bit trickier because they have a much smaller parking strip although once we got down to the beach there we realized there was another big parking lot there that we didn’t know about so I suggest doing more research if you plan on heading there!

I hope you guys found this blog post helpful if you are planning a trip to Los Angeles or maybe just moved there! Be sure to check out my other Los Angeles Travel guides below as well as my LA Travel Guide on YouTube!
