Santa Barbara Day Trip

♫ Alex Ebert- Broken Record ♫

Santa Barbara is one those perfect dreamy getaway spots for the weekend but in this case we went for a day trip and it was more than we needed. This city will always be one of my favorites because it has that cute small town feel and lazy beach town vibe! I love all the surrounding nature too from the open hills, flower fields, ranches, to the beach. It's a perfect escape to get away from all the city craze from LA, I love how laid-back it is out there and how there is always plenty to do and see.

One of my favorite spots in SB is of course State Street, which is pretty much the downtown of SB and a strip filled with restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and a bunch of other stores. I love all the hidden streets and the beautiful Spanish style architecture almost everywhere you go, you're bound to see mosaics and tiles anywhere which I love! One of my other fave spots is the Santa Barbara Mission and of course we couldn't go out there without stopping by McConnell's Ice Cream, it's a MUST guys, I always stop there whenever I'm in Santa Barbara...that good! I know there are already some locations in LA but it originated in SB and it just tastes better out there too haha! I didn't get to snap pics of my ice cream (Coconut/toffee/almond flavor) since I devoured it within seconds!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and Mother's Day!

More pictures coming your way :)

Hey guys!

I've been really into stripes lately for spring, anything from dresses, skirts, and even lounge pants! Stripes are timeless and so versatile and they're also perfect for summer to give off that nautical look.

The sets I created above are inspired by spring and summer, as you guys can see I'm still a fan of straw bags, espadrilles, and hats and you better believe they will still be my go-to accessories for summer too! ;)

What do you guys think of these looks? Which one is your fave?

Summer Call: High-Waisted Bikinis

High waisted halter bikini set

Off-shoulder high-waisted crochet bikini

Hey lovelies!

Summer is right around the corner which means more beach days, bikinis, and fun adventures.

No doubt that this summer's trend will also consist of a lot of high waisted bikinis! I've never really owned this bikini style but I'm actually diggin' all the super cute styles everywhere, especially on Zaful's website! They even have many cute halter dresses for summer!

There are soooo many cute options to choose from but some of my favorites are the two high waisted bikinis above because first and foremost you can never go wrong with stripes and that whole nautical look for summer....so classic!

I've also been a fan of crochet for spring and summer so the second bikini definitely has that boho summery vibe, plus I love how the crochet bikini top can also be paired with shorts or skirts too creating a whole new summer look!

If you're looking for super cute high-waisted bikinis Zaful has a variety and plenty to choose from!

What do you guys think of this trend? :)
