There's not much that Amanda de Cadenet hasn't done. As a renowned fashion and portrait photographer, the LA-based British expat has snapped everyone from Sofia Coppola to Drew Barrymore. As a TV personality, she executive produced and hosted The Conversation, where she engaged in intimate girl talk with the likes of Lady Gaga and Gwyneth Paltrow. De Cadenet is also the mother of one of the globe's rising style stars, Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor. Her latest baby is a new show on Lifetime called Undone with @AmandadeCadenet, premiering tonight at 10:30pm.

To gear us up for her female-driven, social media-powered live talk series, which "explores the hot topics trending in pop culture and features interviews with celebrities or newsmakers," de Cadenet sat down with us to round up a few of her favorite spots in Los Angeles. From foodie joints like DTLA's Grand Central Market to retro fashion emporiums like Highland Park's Avalon Vintage, read on to explore de Cadenet's LA.

Avalon Vintage

"This place has the best vintage finds in all of LA—it’s my secret spot! The owner Carmen Hawk [of Jovovich-Hawk] has a great eye and excellent taste. This is where you can find old-school vintage style at an affordable price." [Photo via]

Arroyo Seco Park

"California’s nature at its finest. This is my favorite place to hike in all of Los Angeles. You truly won't find a better setting in this city to hike. Everything here is so majestic." [Photo via]

Bar Ama

"I love Bar Ama! It's run by my friend Chef Josef Centeno. I love his food; everything he makes is incredibly delicious, and clean, and locally sourced. And he is just a magician with food and puts foods together that you never think would work together but are just delicious. I would say I go to him two or three times a week. I adore his cuisine!"

"This is my nail spot! They're the bomb. It’s a really nice big space. Not loud, and super cozy." [Photo via]

Cisco Home Sustainable Living

"I’m absolutely obsessed with this home and furniture store to the point where I asked them if I could use some of their furniture for my set. I just think they make the best things. They make everything in Los Angeles; which I’ve lived in LA for a long time and I like to utilize as many of the great resources that we have here. And Cisco is a company that for years I have loved and frequented; whether that be for lamps, rugs and sofas. In fact most of my house is Cisco, and now my set." [Photo via]

Grand Central Market

"They have the absolute best salads. When I’m not at Bar Ama or Hama Sushi, you can find me here. A few favorite places at Grand Central Market include: G&B Coffee for their delicious almond macadamia nut milk cappuccino and amazing pastries, and Valerie for having the best petit fours I think I’ve ever had outside of Europe. I especially love the rose and orange flavors." [Photo via]

Hama Sushi

"Delicious sashimi! I go there with my kids when I have a date with them. It is so good; it is clean and it is super affordable. They’re really sweet. When I go there with my son, they give him these mini sushi rolls, which he loves. They’re very kind." [Photo via]

Kreation Kafe/Juicery

"I specifically love their Slim Master Juice—I can drink it day after day and never grow tired of it. It’s super delicious, and most importantly it contains NO sugar!" [Photo via]
