Garden of Oz
Tucked away off of Beachwood Canyon on a tiny street, Ledgewood Drive, is a beautiful mosaic-filled sanctuary called Garden of Oz. I found this place one night on pinterest and knew I had to shoot it for my blog. My photographer, Elaine Torres, was equally eager to see it, however, once we got there, we were disappointed to find out that you couldn’t take photos inside the garden.
We did take a few photos outside the Garden of Oz, but if you are in LA, you really should see it. It’s only open to the public 2 hours a week, from 10am – 12pm Thursdays. Elaine and I took a break from shooting for a tour of the space and what we saw behind the yellow gates was truly magical. It’s crazy to me that the owner doesn’t allow photographs… it took 20 years to construct! It’s basically a folk art museum for children, with tile-lined nooks and crannies that adults and children alike would be eager to explore.
McNamara Beach Bonfire
If you’ve been reading my blog, you would know that I’m not a huge fan of the sand… or the water… or the beach for that matter. I love to look at it, but being on it is not my favorite thing in the world. That being said, it’s definitely fun to hit the sand for a bonfire bbq. I wanted to wear flowy pieces that echoed the landscape, so a light blue silk skirt and an equally lightweight, white top were a must. I typically wear this skirt with fitted tops and unitards, but I’m liking the way it looks with looser tops as well!
