Les Mis & The Biltmore

dress, & shawl: thrifted, tights, & wedges: target
Hello! Here is my post for the second half of my Saturday In LA (imma call it that from now on). My dad and I drove back to the hotel around 6:30ish and changed into a bit more spiffy outfits for the show, Les Miserables, that we were going to see that night. This is what I wore...as you can see. :) I wish I could have got more detail shots on my jewelry, because I really tried to channel turquoise or shades of in this outfit.

Les Mis was wonderful! The acting and singing was beautiful and the stage effects were really cool... I didn't even know they could do some of the things that they did. One thing that I wish could have been different were our seats. We weren't all that far away, but being closer would have been a different experience, you know? We would have been able to see the emotion on the actor's faces. As Les Mis is a very moving story, I'm sure there was a lot going on in the small movements that being far away limited us from seeing.

Anyway, that night we explored the hotel! As you can see, I incorporated some shots of the architecture and details of the ceiling and walls. However, Saturday night my dad and I sneaked in to one of the ballrooms that was locked! It was so exciting! They locked the main doors, but we went in through one of the side doors... ;) I was kinda nervous and I couldn't help but think of The Shining, unfortunately! That movie is so good, yet so scary! The fact that the hotel was old and it was 12 am when we were snooping around... well, let's just say I had a fun time exploring, anyway! Haha...

The room with the balconies is the one we sneaked in to and took photos in. The lighting wasn't the best, obviously... but I think it sort of makes the photos look a little creepy in a good way! I hope you enjoy! x
