Balboa Island Day

♫ Lowell- Palm Trees ♫ 

Last weekend we took a ferry boat out to Balboa Island in Newport Beach, it's been a while since I was there (last summer) so it felt nice to be back! It finally felt and looked like spring outside so we took advantage of the chilly but nice day and enjoyed the ferry ride and the sunshine. 

It's been raining non stop here in SoCal with freezing temps, we even got snow a couple days ago inland which is crazy! Although I do love cold weather I think it's safe to say that I'm so ready for spring now...which means more rain coming our way for sure! :)

What have you guys been up to?

Last Sunday the family and I went to Newport Beach's Balboa Island, it's one of my fave little getaway spots, Balboa has the perfect mellow yet charming beachy town feel. I recommend checking it out if you want to get away from the city and just relax. I love strolling around the small streets and checking out the beautiful beach houses... if you guys go course make sure you try their frozen chocolate covered bananas, so yummy! Every time we go we get one regardless of the weather. 

Balboa Island is a super casual town and I know I dressed up a bit but I promise these Sam Edelman booties are some of the comfiest boots I own, I love how their versatility makes them easy to dress up or down. Although it was the first day of spring the weather was a bit chilly so I opted for a linen dress paired with tights and an oversized cardigan, we walked for a good two hours and these boots kept me cozy and comfortable all day, love love them!
