Echo Park, By Chef Chloe & More

Echo Park

My husband and I make it a point to go out at least once during the weekend. It's not usually a new place but this past weekend we felt a little more adventurous than usual. I wanted to go to Echo Park and explore that side of Los Angeles. I saw so many breathtaking pictures online I had to go check it out for myself. This park did not disappoint! It's even more beautiful and picturesque in person. I was blown away by the beauty of the lake in the middle of this huge park and being able to see the silhouette of downtown LA was the cherry on top.

Shop Ruffle Tops/Dresses

Ruffles

I've been really inspired to dress more comfortably and I always feel comfortable in an off the shoulder top. I have been obsessed with MLM Label and all of there super flowy ruffle tops/dresses. I can't afford to shell out $150 for a top or a dress in this case but I found the next best thing!! This ruffle dress is from Shein and it looks MLM Label inspired for a fraction of the price. The material is thin and flowy which is perfect for this California heat. SheIn quality has improved tremendously from a few years ago, the only complaint I have is the shipping took entirely too long. I'm the kind of girl if I see it, I want it in a week otherwise my excitement for the item will dissipate. Have you ever shopped at SheIn?? How was your experience?

Accessories 

I just bought this flower ring from H&M a few days ago and it's quickly become my favorite statement piece for what's left of summer. It looks a lot more expensive than it was and its even more beautiful in person. The perfect piece of jewelry to bring an outfit together. 

Now lets talk about the shoes!! I am so in love with anything that has the same look as the Chanel slingback's. These beauties are from Zara and they are so perfect! They are comfortable and easy to walk in for long periods of time, I wear them to work and get complimented like crazy. If Zara made more colors I would buy them all in a heart beat!!

Can you tell I'm obsessed with anything that looks like Chanel? Well my bag was inspired by a Chanel flap bag and it's one of my most worn pieces this summer. I bought it from Foreign Exchange Clothing which has gone out of business, sadly.  

By Chef Chloe

I first heard of By Chef Chloe through Aimee Song's snapchats, she raved about how delicious everything was from the burgers to the avocado toast. At the time they only had one in NY but this year they opened one in LA and I had to try it. I am not vegan or kosher but I love the idea of trying something completely out of my comfort zone. How do you have a burger with no patty or a meatball with no meat or mac n cheese with no cheese?!?!

We ordered avocado toast, avocado burger, and the quinoa taco salad. The avocado toast was pretty good and the taco salad tasted exactly like it sounded but the main star of the show was the avocado burger! That burger had so much flavor and it actually tasted just like a burger that its in my top 3 favorite burgers of all time!! If you're ever in Silverlake and feel like eating some real wholesome fast food than you must stop here, I promise you won't be disappointed!
