1920s apartments and hair salons with catchy names
define the neighborhood around Kings Road in Los Angeles...
But my favorite spot of all is this place...
The Kings Newsstand, packed with foreign magazines. I love buying copies of French Vogue and the World of Interiors before heading next door to the coffee house, where they make lattes decorated with hearts...
Bliss.
beautiful shots. i especially love the first one.
ReplyDeleteYes. Beautiful photos. I could spend a long time at the newsstand and the coffee shop!
ReplyDeleteLattes in real cups with a new read--divine!
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous World of Interiors too darling! You are so fabulous!! ~XO*

Hello! Yes, the polaroids are mine. but i'm not sure who took the photo of the latte...
ReplyDeleteREminds me of Kings Road in LOndon and some wonderful happy memories!!
ReplyDeleteThe muted colors in these photos are spectacular. And I'd like a heart-shaped latte now, please.
ReplyDeleteI would spend every penny in my pocket at the newsstand. Well, maybe leave enough for a latte.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you...there is nothing more fabulous than a newsstand that carries Euro reads!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos...now I'm off for a latte! Yum!
All the elements of a perfect morning. . .or afternoon, for that matter. Thanks!
ReplyDeletelove the photos! i'd love to be browsing through a bookstore right now.
ReplyDeleteI love Kings Road! One of my favorites in LA, and my friend Shannon lives right there--between Joan's and Kings Road Coffee. (She was the first entry on my blog!) Such a great spot, and your photos really capture it. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteah. lattes...
ReplyDeleteA magazne heaven!!
ReplyDeleteThose lattes are absolute PERFECTION!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like such an amazing place to visit. I would LOVE to come out there one day.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of Kings Road London when I read your title - Your LA KIngs Rd looks like fun too, xv.
ReplyDeletebliss is right!! what a great way to spend an afternoon...the hearts are adorable.
ReplyDeletei love love love your polaroids.
ReplyDeletecome check out my blog, i've redone it completely... hopefully its a lot better. you're amazing :) xx
I love looking through all the foreign magazines. I usally go to MagNation here in Melbourne to do that. A store dedicated to magazines, bliss!!
ReplyDeleteMy sister lives just a few blocks from there and that is one of my favorite cups of coffee anywhere.
ReplyDeleteMagazines & coffee? HEAVEN! Now a little Southern California sunshine and some good chatting company and I'd have it made! Hmmm? Who could I possibly chat with over coffee and magazines? ;)
ReplyDeletei love foreign magazines too! its so fun to see what kind of layouts they have, how styles are different around the world, and you can sort of travel vicariously.
ReplyDeletetheres a book store that sells used books near where i live that sells a whole bunch of foreign mags and i would always end up spending more money than i should on all these intriguing foreign magazines (which are really expensive)
anywhoo...i love the last photo. thats so cute!
beautiful photos (:
ReplyDeletethat latte looks pretty delicious :D
