Darling Destinations: The Surfrider Malibu

About 2 weeks before our wedding last Fall I tagged along on a work trip with Chris to The Surfrider in Malibu. This iconic hotel has been on my bucket list for years and an opportunity to experience it on a stunning 80 degree October day sounded like the exact pre-wedding stress relief I needed. […]

Darling Destinations: Cuyama Buckhorn

Nothing signals the start of a great weekend away more than being greeted by rolling hills of wildflowers and a larger than life red sign welcoming you to your destination. A few weeks ago this is exactly how we were greeted for a 2 night stay at the iconic Cuyama Buckhorn located in New Cuyama, […]

Traveling During Covid

I will be the first to admit that the idea of traveling during a global pandemic was not my idea of fun but sometimes life has some unexpected plans. In early July I found myself having to make a trip to Santa Barbara for a few days and immediately started researching. Over the course of […]

Last weekend Chris and I packed our bags, hoped in the car, and headed to Vegas for a few days of fun, sunshine, and fraternity memories.  Chris’s UNLV fraternity chapter is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year and a group of alumni organized a full weekend of cocktail parties, cabanas, and a huge dinner for […]

Pool Party!

I am officially going to call the California heat wave, The Solar Vortex! My Valentine’s Day was spent poolside at the Morongo Casino & Hotel.  Part of the draw for me is their Oasis Pool complete with lazy river….yes, I am in fact 7. I bought this top a few months ago at Paper Dolls Boutique […]

Boho.

Am I the only one who looks at other style blogs and feel somehow, inadequate?  How is it that these girls look so effortless in whatever they wear?  Mixing 3 prints is no big deal because these girls are just that cool!  A floor length gown on the streets of New York is an obvious […]

Mojitos and Palm Trees

As a girl lucky enough to be born and raised in Southern California I have developed an addiction to warm weather.  Part of this addiction is the clothes that come with it.  I can never have too many bikinis, too many pairs of sandals, or too many cover ups.  As I mentioned a few weeks […]

Easy & Breezy.

To Southern Californians, Winter escapes to Palm Springs are about as obvious as sunglasses at the beach! I am pretty sure most of us are trained to crave the desert heat once temps drop below 65 degrees!  I was able to escape the chill (sorry to all my readers in the parts of the country […]
