Angel's Point at Elysian Park

I've said before that I'm not sure I'll ever tire of the Los Angeles skyline...and when I can see the infamous Dodger Stadium AND the LA Skyline at the same time - talk about a win-win situation. It was beautiful to see these views during the day, but I am definitely adding this spot to my "to see at night" list so that I can experience the city lights twinkling against the evening sky. 

While Elysian Park in Los Angeles is home to hiking trails, I decided to take the easy way up and drove to Angel's Point. Angel's Point at Elysian Park is located at 1880 Academy Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90189. Once you are in the park, follow the various signs and drive all the way up the main hill until you can't drive up any further. Park wherever you can find a spot and then walk on the side of the hill until you reach Angel's Point to your left hand side. You can't miss it...you'll see the LA skyline and Dodger Stadium right in the background! 

For this adventure outing, I decided to dress pretty casual and comfort is always key for me. On the weekends I'm typically on the go so like wearing comfortable shoes (chucks are my go to!) and a hat to keep the bright California sun off my face. The flannel dress from Forever 21 is one of my favorite pieces for the fall season because it's both comfy and easy to style. Literally, just throw it on, button it up, and you're out the door with a relaxed, yet still stylish look. Shop my look below:

Dodger Hat - on Amazon for $20
Flannel Dress - from Forever 21 for $22.90
Sunnies from Forever 21 for about $5

Update on 8/16/16: I went back to Angel's point at sunset and the view was more spectacular during the day. Love this spot.
