We drove up to Hollywood this weekendto check out the iconicHollywood Roosevelt Hotel
I have been on a mission of lateto explore the city of Los Angeles which at just a bit of an hour plus awayhas so much that this California woman has yet to experience!
My outfit of choice for our city adventurea black and white ensemble made up of three pieces!A wrap vest by Jennifer Gracea white smocked top from my favorite San Diego boutiqueChateau Bel Ageand cropped pants recently purchased from Anthropolgie
finished with my favorite ankle boots!
My earrings are a semi homemade designas I bought the bottom part and simply added a mosaic beaded top part so that I could make them into clip earrings.
My solid black Celine sunglasseswere the perfect neutral for the colorful earrings.
Never knowing where our city adventure will take usI always travel with night optionsas I'm not one for wearing hats when it's dark outsideMy new pearl crown was the perfect evening answer!
We made a quick stop in downtown for some quick shopping.
Then it was onto our destination of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
Established in 1927
with guests like Clark Gabel, Carole Lombard, Charlie Chaplin
and Marilyn Monroe
the Hotel Roosevelt is what Hollywood legends are made of!
The inside of the hotel is Spanish Colonial RevivalFull of leather couches, wrought iron chandeliers and colorful tiles throughout.
With 8 different restaurantsthere is something for everyone!We were off to find the Tropicana Pool Bar outside!
I had no idea the iconic view of the hotel I had seen so often
was actually from poolside at the Tropicana!
This pool was even in I Love Lucy in the 1955 episode when the Ricardo's visited Hollywood.
Nothing like alfresco dining.
In 1988 British painter David Hockneydid a multi million dollar mural on the bottom of the Tropicana Pool.And boy does it come even more to life with the hotel reflecting on the water!
We can check off this hotel on our list of iconic Hollywood Hotels.
I can't wait to go back and work down other hot spots on our LA list!
As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
