Anastasia Ashley's L.A.
By Alexis Swerdloff
After hanging with the blonde bombshell (and co-shaking our booties to Q-Tip) at the recent PAPER Nightlife Awards, our love for pro-surfer Anastasia Ashley was solidified. In addition to grabbing first place at the Corona Extra Surf Circuit Event last month in Puerto Rico and being a sexy vegan, the L.A. native's coming out with a line of Stride Rite shoes that’ll be available in January! We asked Anastasia to reveal her favorite spots in L.A. and she was kind enough to oblige.
EAT: I love Katana on Sunset. They have an amazing atmosphere and there are always good-looking people there. Pink Taco, which just opened, has a fun vibe and it’s in the Century City Mall, so it’s fun to go to Bloomingdale’s, grab some clothes and then go eat some good Mexican food.
SHOP: Madison on Robertson is amazing. They have high end lines with a mix of not-as-famous designers. I Love Yana K on Melrose. They do custom dresses, to make sure they fit just right. Most of the stuff in there is one of a kind, so you won’t see anyone else wearing your clothes!
SURF: Third Point in Malibu is kind of crowded, but worth it. It has some of the longest waves in California. Matthew McConaughey surfs this spot a lot. El Porto in Manhattan Beach is always consistent, always breaking. Most days I usually head down to Newport and surf a spot called 54th St. I love Orange County too.
