LA TRIP | college winter break ❄️

I'm so excited to be home for break. Come along with me to The Grove in Los Angeles. It was surely a crowded Friday night but so worth it. I love the bubble snow and Christmas lights everywhere. There were many new places like the Laneige and Jellycat Pop-ups! Even Brandy Melville updated to a 2 story building. Stay tuned for a try on haul.
