Los Angeles Street Style

[Nicolerichienews]

haha that was one thing i noticed in LA not many people do actually walk around, apart from in the busy shopping areas.
Since we didnt have a car it was all metros and taxis for us but when we where walking around Beverly Hills (where we were staying) we noticed how quiet it actually is.

yeah its weird. it seems like a ghost town during the day but at night its super busy especially along the strip.

I always notice people in LA wear a lot of white and drive white cars. I don't know what can be gathered from this...the cooling effect of white in the Cali sun? The fact the car won't get bleached in said sun? ...? ...? ...? The mind wonders and wanders....
