Thrift Shopping in LA: Where to Score Vintage Treasures

Image
 When I arrived in LA, I wanted to achieve my dreams and didn’t have much money which made me fall in love with thrift stores. I soon saw that there’s more to Los Angeles than the famous shops on Rodeo Drive.   In reality, the most interesting fashion in New York comes from the hidden-away thrift stores found in interesting areas.   Hunting for vintage items can be very exciting. Every faded Levi’s jacket, 80s band tee and well-worn pair of boots has its own story. And LA? It includes many stories.   Note: if you are travelling on a budget then you can save money by booking Heathrow airport cheap parking and have some extra money for your trip. Jet Rag (on Melrose Avenue)   The place is full of fun in a chaotic way. Their Sunday Sale is well known and customers treat it like a major shopping day, searching through tons of items.   I came across a suede jacket that looked as if it came from a '70s movie. It was comfortable, big enough and the p...

What to Wear When Visiting Kyoto’s Temples

  In Kyoto, you can find many peaceful spaces, ancient pathways and old wooden buildings. Going to the temples feels just like time travel.   The serene feel of every temple can be seen from the beautiful Kinkakuji and Kiyomizudera temples. Nevertheless, finding out what to wear is something that many travelers overlook before their trip.   I can still recall walking through Nanzenji in the cool autumn air. The leaves of the maple trees turned red and gold and the breeze felt special and almost sacred.   Once I entered the main hall and removed my shoes, I understood why dressing carefully is important here. It affects your mood and the way you use the area.   Note: if you want a stress free travel experience then you can book cheap Heathrow airport parking . Wearing Clothes to Match the Weather   You should remember that the temples in Kyoto are sacred, not just popular tourist sites. Showing respect includes dressing calmly and modestly. ...

Exploring the Hidden Waterfalls of Fife, Scotland

Image
  I didn’t visit Fife hoping to see waterfalls. As with most others, I was captivated by the coast, the surrounding green fields and the lovely place of St Andrews.   My trip had actually started with a simple meet and greet Heathrow , one of those quick airport connections that turned into an unexpected adventure.   I found a side of Fife that wasn’t in the guidebooks: its secret waterfalls—thanks to a slip on a misty trail and a chat with a local shopkeeper.   Now, I can’t even picture myself visiting without trying to see a few of them.   It All Began Because I Turned the Wrong Way   I wanted to find a walking trail around Falkland, a quaint village that seems like it could be on a book cover. I was on my way to Falkland Palace when I noticed an old sign for "Maspie Den." Although the door was old and seemed to be ignored, I followed my curiosity and I’m glad I did.   Maspie Den offers more than just a hike; it’s an adventure. The road...
