Pretty little places: San Cristobal de la Casas, Mexico

Pretty little place #3. 

I know what you are thinking - but yes, Mexico is very pretty actually! Contrary to popular belief, there is actually a lot more to Mexico than sombreo's, tequila and mostache-ladden drug lords who run around murdering people left, right and centre.

To be honest, Mexico is one of the most beautiful and friendly places that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting, and as long as you stay away from the border [of Mexico and the U.S] it is actually super safe (and cheap!) to travel around. 

Pretty little places: Bottega Louie, Los Angeles

Pretty little place #2. Here we go.

I'm not going to lie, downtown Los Angeles is not my favourite place in the world. Over all it's smelly, dirty and actually a wee bit dangerous. But ask any LA native about the best place to satisfy your sweet tooth and the answer will be unanimous - downtown Los Angeles may be a bit shabby, but downtown's Bottega Louie is most definitely a diamond in the rough. 

Pretty little places: Mira Mira, San Fransisco

Welcome to my new series: Pretty little places. 

I'm going to be honest with you - basically, in this series I am just going to go on and on about all of the awesome places I visited on my recent travels and disguise my nostalgia as 'advice' on where y'all should go when you visit the above cities. But trust me, all of these wee places are actually pretty special and I think you would like them very much. So ignore my ranting, and read on friends.

Any who... Mira Mira! I stumbled across this beautiful boutique one sunny day in San Fransisco (sounds very romantic, doesn't it!) and was oh so happy that I did.
