– Introduction of L34 Group’s Newest Team Member, Sweet P Vaughn! –
Sweet P is an L.A. local through and through! Born and raised on the Westside, she found her way to Northeast LA in her early 20s and never looked back. Real estate was always in her veins; her dad was a successful Realtor® on the Westside, and her mom dabbled in it for fun and some extra cash.
Sweet P’s first passion was fashion. She began in Fashion Design with a long run at bebe, even competing on Project Runway to help fund her own clothing line. After marrying artist Sage Vaughn, she decided family life was calling, so she made the switch to a more flexible career. Makeup artistry for film and TV turned out to be the perfect fit, allowing her to balance work with raising their son, Jasper.
After 13 years in makeup, Sweet P felt it was time for a new challenge. Real estate was a natural next step—she’s a people person through and through, and she loves helping others. Partnering with her longtime friend Deirdre, she’s now a Realtor® in the area she calls home. Sweet P, Sage, and Jasper live happily in Montecito Heights in a house Deirdre helped them find—proof that she’s found her true calling in real estate!
– Popular local Gardens for Fall Foliage –
Agent Contribution: Fawn Vu, L34 Group Partner Agent
November is my favorite time of year in LA. The weather begins to cool, bringing relief from the scorching heat to comfortable autumn days. While LA isn’t typically known for fall foliage, vibrant colors can be found if you know where to look.
Here are some curated gardens and day trips offering autumnal beauty:
Popular Gardens for Fall Foliage
Descanso Gardens
With over 3,000 varieties of camellia flowers blooming from November to December, Descanso Gardens showcases fall colors in trees like ginkgo, sycamore, birch, cherry, crape myrtle, and Chinese pistache.
Huntington Library
Fall colors peak in November, especially in the Japanese and Chinese gardens where golden ginkgo leaves create a stunning display. The Shakespeare Garden also offers vibrant hues with Mexican sage and bright red poinsettias near the Huntington Art Gallery.
LA Arboretum
The Arboretum is a treat any time of year, but autumn brings unique specimens bursting into striking oranges and yellows, with a backdrop of the Angeles National Forest.
Scenic Fall Drives and Day Trips
Malibu Creek State Park
Just a short drive into the Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu Creek State Park in Calabasas surprises with golden-hued sycamore trees lining winding roads.
Oak Glen
About an hour and a half from LA, Oak Glen is a charming agricultural town known for its apple orchards. Visit for apple picking, or take a scenic drive through fall colors, apple farms, nature trails, and cozy bakeries.
Lake Arrowhead
Lake Arrowhead might be famous for winter snow, but it’s equally beautiful in the fall. The area around the lake is surrounded by vibrant red, orange, and yellow hues, making it a perfect autumn getaway.
– LOVE NOTES –
We love our clients, and they love us…
❝Francine from L34 Group has helped us purchase our second home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and dedication. Throughout the home-buying experience, she was patient and extremely knowledgeable, guiding us through every step with care and professionalism. We attended an open house the Sunday before our wedding, placed an offer that Wednesday, and by Friday, Francine had strategically helped us win over other bidders and secure the home. She worked to close escrow on an expedited timeline and ensured we got our keys the day before we flew out for our honeymoon. Her attention to detail and commitment made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Francine to anyone looking for a realtor who is dedicated, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in helping you find your dream home.❞
