Getting Lost in Santa Barbara

Never have I ever visited such a lovely slice of heaven. On the last day of our father-daughter road trip, we visited Santa Barbara and our first stop was the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. The lush garden is filled with blooming flowers, fragrant shrubs, and winding trails. My dad and I enjoyed our surroundings so much that we bought six plants from the garden’s nursery and took them on the road with us back home after we stopped by the beach.

As whimsical and nature-themed this day was, my outfit sure wasn’t but that’s A-OK. Leopard denim, black ballet flats and tank, and crystal necklace somewhat clash with this beautiful background, but hey, maybe that’s the beauty in it? Good thing my ballet flats are patent leather so I could easily wipe off the dirt and dust from the trails.

Coastal Cruisin’: Day Two of Road Trip

If you live in California, and haven’t driven down Highway 1, what the hell are you waiting for?! By far, this is one of my most favorite places to visit in California with endless beaches, rolling hills, and sea breezes. 

I went a bit preppy this day with a white collared shirt and striped sweater paired with denim and black patent leather ballet flats. With the fog and sea breezes, I ended up throwing on a Rag and Bone trench coat too.

Thanks for the reminder 🙂

The fog was chasing us.

Looking out on the vast ocean reminds me of how much more there is in the world besides my little world (in my head).

Made a new friend. Sid the sea lion.

Danger? What danger?

Look of the Day: Rolled Up & Polka-Dot

Lately in the Bay Area, we’ve been experiencing some amazing winter sunshine. Birds are chirping, strangers are smiling, and I’m the giddiest kid in the world. On Wednesday I had an appointment in the city so, I rolled up a pair of skinny jeans and navy blazer over a white tank and sp orted a lavender polka-dot scarf. I added a little bling with gold spiked ballet flats, rose gold watch, and purple heart studs and locket necklace. Just enough for a casual feel yet a tad bit dressed up for the meeting.

Weekend Adventures with Daddy

If you search for ‘Daddy’s Girl’ in the dictionary, you’ll see a picture of me. With that being said, daddy loves to take a drive down to the Bay Area for the day to visit me, my bf, my favorite feline, Missy and hang out. Over the weekend we experienced gorgeous, sunny and crisp weather, which inspired us to head to over the Bay Bridge into San Francisco and park at Ocean Beach.

Super casual look of the day.

Pops. He’s pretty smooth, right?
