GUISADOS L.A.

When it comes to tacos, I don't discriminate. I love them all. Even if  they come from a questionable taco truck at 2 in the morning, a taco is a taco and you can bet on it being good. Who doesn't love good Mexican food right? But the word on the street is Guisados is better than good. After all, it is rated as one of the Top 10 best taco joints in town by L.A. Weekly. Now I know why.

Guisados has been on my radar ever since I saw Kevin Ipalari of His Laboratory post about it a little while ago. And after that, I continued to hear more and more hype about it. So, on an empty stomach, I paid Guisados a visit.

This taqueria is so cute and the staff is incredibly welcoming; not to mention super helpful in deciding what to order. My friend ordered the sampler plate and I got the Steak Picado, Bistek en Salsa Roja, and the Cochinita Pibil, washing it down with a refreshing Horchata. Let me just tell you...those tacos are full of flavor and insanely good. Guisados' mission to be a quality, traditional, homestyle taqueria is spot on. I already know I'll be stopping by again sometime soon because there are a couple things on the menu calling my name (I'm looking at you, Chorizo Breakfast Tacos).

MEET ME DOWNTOWN

Downtown Los Angeles is one of my favorite places to shop, eat, and people watch. It is in the process of reinventing itself and I love every bit of it. On this day of strolling through the city, I wore one of my many LBD's. This lightweight chambray dress is so easy to throw on and go. Pairing it with my favorite clutch and the perfect summer hat that I scored for $15 makes this my go to look for the season.

INTRO

Dress::Reformation
This ultra-soft turtleneck dress has gotten so much wear since I bought it a couple months back. Its the most comfortable thing I own and I never want to take it off.

Shoes::Topshop
When I need a little height, but don't want to sacrifice comfort, I go for these. They go with everything and I love the front zipper detail.

Backpack::Topshop
I go back and forth with bags. I don't like to carry much but this backpack is the perfect size when I'm heading out for a day and need to throw in a few extra essentials to get me through.

Sunglasses::Celine
The quintessential "don't look at me" glasses. Oversized so I can get away with looking like a mess  if I need to. (But no one needs to know!)

I'm so excited to finally launch my blog! It has been a long time coming. I figured I'd start it off with my "go-to" outfit. I'm a creature of habit, so easy, no brainer looks like this are on heavy rotation.

You can expect outfit posts, to beauty bag staples, to my favorite food spots around town. Anything and everything. Get ready.
