What should I pack for LA?

So many of you ask me what you should pack for a semester in LA so I decided to make a separate page for it.

Glitter and Glamour:

People from LA love everything that sparkels so a dress covered with sequins (paljetter), stones and glitter is perfect!

Colorful dresses is huge in LA! Of course since the sun is always shining the cloth reflect the fun and summerly mood of the city.

Scandinavians loves their leather jackets and if you really wanna spot a scandinavian you dont look for the blond hair but white converse and leather jackets! For school, interviews or a night out bring a nice jacket like this one from BCBG MAXIMARA. LA is sunny so remember to bring shorts and skirts in every shape and color.Also bring sweaters that are light so you wont die of a heatstroke while touring around in Hollywood.
Remember to bring those simple basic sweaters that you can easily get at H&M and Cubus. Also simple white and black tops should go in your bag.
LA does get cold during the winter. I made the big mistake for my first semester to not bring warm cloth! During winter it can get as low as 6 Celsius, and it can sometimes snow too, so please bring some warm cloth.

And lets not forget the colorful, sequin sparkling things that LA people love.For pants bring one pair of dark jeans (slim is popular), white or beige pants, nice dress pants (for interviews) and a fun pair like the one to the right. Shoes, bring:

boots, sandels, joggingshoes, balerina shoes, high heels and…a pair of what I would call party heels. Clubs in LA in like parties you attended while you were 14… it can go a bit crazy.There are some very nice hikes in LA so bring your jogging shoes

For school and just a simple walk I wear moccasins. Not very LA style, but they are comfortable.

This year I will bring with me my black warm coat. I dont want to freeze to death while walking home from school after a night class.

And of course remember the bikini.What not to bring or optional:

Branded cloth like these and the preppy is not that common, still they could be good for the more chilly winters.

no real fur please. There is a lot of animal rights activists in LA so leave the fur at home.

ImageWe also ate lunch at Earth Cafe which was close. We had with us a Stefan from Moods of Norway which sat during the whole lunch (drunk as F) yelling: VAAAAAGINA! I feel sorry for all the guests…

Then back to the moods of norway event and later on a quick cab to Skybar in West Hollywood. Here I was able to stand again… and then the evening ended with one of my friends getting into a fight with another guy. THE END.
