Hey guys!

Here are some snaps from this past weekend, we took a spontaneous drive down to San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente...again lol! I know I was just there a couple weekends ago if you see my last posts lol I guess I can't get enough... especially of Los Rios Historic District in San Juan Capistrano. I fell in love with this cute quaint area because of the small town feels. Everything from the little pumpkin patch, the vintage shops, and the coffee shop made me feel like I was in a small town in some other state!

Pumpkin spiced latte with almond milk from Hidden House Coffee....honestly the best PSL I've tried this fall maybe because it is made with actual pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin syrup.

Stopped by The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano too! Loved this place, it was my first time so we ended up stocking up on some local and organic produce! We also walked around the little farm and tried the apples, they were so yummy!

Ended the day at San Clemente Beach, you might have seen some past posts about this beach...it's one of my faves in OC! It definitely has that sleepy beach town feel. 

Dreamy sunset and bubble show.

Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures!

Hey lovelies!

I'm finally home,  but before sharing my vacation pictures from Canada I wanted to share these pictures from this past weekend at San Clemente! 

San Clemente is a cute sleepy beach town in OC near Oceanside (where I used to live for 3 years), I remember driving to SC to hang out and walk on the pier, I love how underrated this beach is and how you feel so much of the laid back SoCal culture there. It's a perfect little getaway spot, I missed it oh so much! I also love how each beach city in SoCal has its own vibe and believe it or not even the attitudes of the people is different. However, I must say the lower OC and San Diego area is more laid-back and includes some of my favorite beaches and towns. If you find yourself in San Clemente I highly recommend stopping by the beach and make sure to try Bear Coast Coffee right across from the pier, sooo good!

I recently got this beautiful dress from d.RA and this lovely hand woven straw bag from The Dharma Door. I went for a lazy boho summer to fall transitional look. First off I absolutely love the print of this dress, I'm a huge fan of mandala prints and maxi dresses, the terracotta color print is everything and I love how the style is so subtle yet boho, plus the dress is super comfortable and perfect to wear year round.

Now let's talk about this beautiful 70's inspired hand woven straw bag too...I seriously can't get enough of straw bags this year and I think they're here to stay for good, they're just so timeless. I love the wooden round handles of this bag and the fact that I can take it to the beach or farmer's market since it's very roomy.

What do you guys think of this look?

Out & About: San Clemente

♫ Slightly Stoopid- Open Road ♫ 

Hey guys!

Here are a couple shots from last week when I drove down to San Clemente, I was recently there a couple months ago too. I love coming back to this beach because of the overall environment, Bear Coast Coffee ( they just opened their own location across from the pier and I LOVE), T-street beach, the fact that it's not so crowded and "touristic", and of course I love the pier. This beach is so photogenic to me and it brings back so many great memories of when I used to drive there back when I used to live in Oceanside....good times for sure! Besides that I'm such a beach bum, I loved enjoying my last summer days of break at SC and cruising down PCH with all the windows down while blasting my music...there's just no better feeling!;)
