Halloween events Los Angeles

Whether you’re in the mood for a ghoulish experience or simply trying to get your cute on with a tight-fitting costume, here are the best places to enjoy the complete Halloween experience this year in Los Angeles!

Gracias Madre

Gracias Madre, how do we love you? Let us count the ways! Find out all you need to know below about West Hollywood’s hippest new vegan hangout.

CP3

Chris Paul hosted his CP3 Foundation’s Celebrity Server Dinner over the weekend with what can only be described as a major assist from fellow LA Clippers stars Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

Jane Weitzman

As the wife of footwear maestro Stuart Weitzman, Jane Weitzman is certainly a woman whose life revolves around shoes. To indulge her own love of fantasy footwear, Weitzman has created “Art & Sole,” a coffee table book which features a spectacular selection of fantasy shoes; 150 fantasy art pieces made of highly unique materials she has discovered and commissioned by artists for the first Stuart Weitzman shop on Madison Avenue in the mid-1990s. Made from feathers, paper, ceramic, metal, resin, playing cards, corrugated cardboard, Swarovski crystals, even fresh flowers and frosting, many of the shoes featured in “Art & Sole” are in printed form for the first time. We spoke to the shoe designer’s sole mate about her foray into publishing, the perks of being married to a shoe guru and the most opulent pair of heels she owns. Yes, you will be jealous.

room service

Ordering room service can be a treat, but it can also be pretty dismal as often, hotels offer a limited selection of standard fare to pick and choose from for those who don’t feel like leaving their suites. Luckily, our five picks go above and beyond the norm with the fabulous food found on their in-room dining menus.

The Redbury

The Redbury is so much more than just a hotel—it’s an all-encompassing, one-stop-shop destination. But then, it’s an sbe property: CEO and founder Sam Nazarian wouldn’t have one of his establishments run any other way. As curated renowned by photographer Matthew Rolston in collaboration with Nazarian, this haute hotel pays homage to the golden era of Hollywood with its kitschy, cool interiors and, of course, by its location at the iconic intersection of Hollywood and Vine. Check out all you can expect to experience when you check in to The Redbury.

James Jeans

Here are James Jeans founder James Chung’s top 7 tips on how to wear denim this fall. Hint: you won’t need more than heels and a blazer to make his new second-skin Twiggy Dancer the perfect item for a night out in Tinseltown.

The Rockefeller

The word “Rockefeller” implies glamour, riches, and a bygone era. While that isn’t exactly what you’ll find at The Rockefeller, a New York style gastropub by the beach, you will thoroughly enjoy your experience here.

Los Angeles events

What did you miss in the City of Angels this week? If you haven’t heard about Leonardo DiCaprio’s massive $2 million donation or the arrival of Diane von Furstenberg’s wrap shop at the Americana at Brand, you need to. Catch up on all your news here.
