Now that I’m back in my hometown, Dallas, TX, I can actually reminisce and blog about my mind-blowing Los Angeles experience two weeks ago. The latest and greatest thing to hit #DTLA is the new contemporary art museum, The Broad, (pronounced like toad). Located just across the street from the Walt Disney Concert Hall, I had to wait two months for this excursion to happen.
The Broad offers free general admission and you can either book advance tickets online or do onsite ticketing, which is first come first serve. Ticket entry happens every 1/2 hour, and depending on availability, wait time can average 30-45 mins during the weekdays and 60-90 mins during the weekend. I love that they keep the volume of attendees low so that everyone can experience the museum fully.
My friend and MUA, Felicia Bade, (who is also sometimes my photographer), and I decided we wanted to go back in October. However, when we reserved our tickets online the first availability was in mid-December. The two months was definitely worth the wait. This place is anything and everything you expect from a modern, contemporary art museum…and much more. I wanted to move in. Seriously.
It took me almost a whole week to decide on the perfect outfit to wear to The Broad. I needed to make sure what I wore was decadent and classy, but at the same time, it had to be stylish and comfortable. I eventually settled on a pseudo-all-white outfit:
IRO Exclusive Kento Leather Detail Shrunken Bomber Jacket (from Intermix)
Forever21 white blouse (similar look)
Burberry White Stretch Straight Leg Bootcut Jeans (similar look)
Brian Atwood Platform Ankle Boots (super old pair, also purchased from Intermix).
These pics are only a fraction of the what The Broad has to offer. Definitely check it out if you’re in the Los Angeles area! It’s a must-see, must-do, MUST-MUST!
I’ll be taking a short break the next three days so I can really spend time with my family during Christmas. There’s tons of great stuff coming so check back soon for more posts! In the meantime, feel free to keep stalking/following along on my Instagram account: Kangthropologie. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! xoxo!
