last night my boyfriend & i packed an overnight bag and headed down to la for a mini-midweek-vacay.  the occasion? my bff ross was in town for the x-factor premier, and i can never pass up on some quality time with my long distance bestie.  after asking around about where we should stay, my good friend greg suggested we stay at the london in west hollywood… not just because his brother is the private events coordinator at the posh hotel, but because it is truly, as he says, “epic.”  it was a short visit filled with poolside lunch, lots of laughs, even more bubbly, & an impromptu dance party in the room… and the rooftop pool was the perfect place to watch the sunset & take in the sprawling view of the city.  i’m thinking we should make these midweek trips part of our regular routine…
