CRUMPLED TWENTIES AWAIT: ASK AWAY!
As a lifestyle writer for the last five plus years, I've amassed an almost encyclopedic knowledge (well, maybe more like a Wikipedic knowledge) of all things beauty, food, style and travel. And, in researching current stories, I am constantly collecting new information and sampling the goods. In the interest of emptying my brain (ahem, pockets) to make room for new facts (like where I left my damn vintage Dior sunglasses), I'd love to share the knowledge.
So, please, ask for any suggestions/recommendations you might need for itineraries in and around LA! If you're looking for a great mellow birthday party bar (near a festive eatery), indie boutiques with unique local designers, the city's best pickle-stuffed burger (thank you, GENIUS Barney's Beanery), locally made french-milled soap (Mistral's Wild Blackberry), the latest facial spot or even the best place to grab pretty recycled undies (yup), I'm your girl. Of course, my advice is purely experiential (I'm definitely not an esthetician or doctor, for example), but maybe I've had a similar conundrum?
My sister, Claudia, refers to my obsession with these inane details as "my pocket of crazy." Okay, one of my many pockets of crazy. But she still comes to me with questions. Hence: POCKET LINT. Seems like you might as well benefit too.

Some girlfriends and I wanted to run away for a weekend and thought Palm Springs would be a good start, but we haven’t made any reservations yet. Any suggestions on where to stay and where to eat?
Thanks!

Since you know everything good in L.A., I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on where to get a great birthday cake.

Hey Nora, what's the best place to go for group karaoke? where you can rent a room for a large group? or maybe a bar with karaoke?
I love your blog! Hugs, Connor

For our upcoming trip to LA, we're looking at hotels like Sofitel, The London and SLS. But we were also wondering about smaller, but still upscale, hotels in the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills area that might be a bit less extravagant. Can you help?

Question: We have guests coming into town and we are looking for fun LA actives that don't require too much walking. Is there anything you can recommend, that for this type of LA visit?
