Los Olivos

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Los Olivos

I just got back from a couple of days in Los Olivos. We love the Inn at Mattei’s Tavern, and this stay was no exception. It’s such a beautiful property with a relaxed, understated feel that fits perfectly with the Santa Ynez Valley. Between the charming cottages, gorgeous grounds, and cozy outdoor spaces, it’s the perfect place to unwind for a couple of days. The weather couldn’t have been better, warm during the day and crisp in the evenings and early mornings. We decided to bring the dog this time, and it’s such a dog friendly property.

On the way up, we stopped at the Montecito Country Mart, where I picked up a new sweater from La Ligne (I sized up) and fell in love with this shearling Marfa Stance vest. From there, we made our usual stop a Bell’s in Los Alamos for lunch before checking into Mattei’s Tavern. We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool before heading out to dinner at Bar Le Côte.

With the chilly evenings, I was glad I packed my The Great belted cardigan, which I wore with wide leg jeans, a chambray shirt, and boots. During the day, I kept things casual in my Nili Lotan Shon pants, Buck Mason tee, waffle cashmere sweater, and Jamie Haller loafers. Also tucked into my Alex Mill tote were a Dôen cardigan, Ulla Johnson sweater, Roller Rabbit pajamas, silk Natalie Martin dress, red Hunza G one piece, Janessa Leone hat, and a new pair of TKEES flip flops.

Lastly, we enjoyed another great dinner at The Tavern and tried Bob’s Well Bread for lunch for the first time, which was excellent. Then it was time to head back to Los Angeles. Another wonderful trip to Mattei’s Tavern in the books, and I already can’t wait to go back!

Weekend Recap

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Weekend Recap

ME+EM Blazer // Amo Jeans // Buck Mason Tee // Officine Creative Boots

I was preparing for a rainy weekend, but instead we were treated to beautiful weather and some much needed cooler temperatures. My daughter is home for the weekend, so we spent our time cooking, shopping at the farmers market, furniture shopping, and trying a new restaurant. A friend had recommended Betsy’s in Altadena, so we ventured out Saturday evening, and it did not disappoint. The new restaurant from Tyler Wells, co-owner of All Time, is a cozy neighborhood bistro centered around live fire cooking. You’ll find Tyler roaming the restaurant in his signature short sleeve chore coat, chatting with guests and making everyone feel at home. It was definitely worth the drive, and we’re already looking forward to going back.

On my radar this week.

  1. The Great Fringe Sweater Jacket, $495 Love!
  2. Loeffler Randall Cheetah Mid Calf Boot, $595 Chic animal print boot.
  3. Loveshackfancy Faux Fur Peacoat, $795 I’ve been looking for a replacement for my shearling collar peacoat and this one is great!
  4. The Gap Bandana Belted Cardigan, $168 I love the bandana pattern on this cardigan.
  5. Banana Republic Fringe Sweater, $180 30% off, part of their Friends & Family sale.
  6. Mango Houndstooth Jacket, $149 I saw someone wearing this, super cute.
  7. Flamingo Estate Farm Box, $110 The best gift to send a foodie.

A simple and easy salad to make for lunch, it keeps for several days.

Quinoa // Cucumber // Fresh Corn // Chopped Sereno Peppers // Cilantro // Tomato (I didn’t have any yesterday) // Squeezed Lime // Olive Oil // Salt & Pepper

Have a great week everyone!

Mart Start

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Mart Start

My daughter is home for fall break, so we started our day at the Brentwood Country Mart for a little shopping. It was my first time visiting the new Sézane store, they did a beautiful job with the space. It has a warm, cozy boutique feel with herringbone floors, beautiful wood displays, and burgundy accents. This gorgeous shawl collar coat (a Toteme look for less) came home with me!

Next, we headed to DÔEN, where we could have easily bought the entire store. Their fall collection is gorgeous, and I’m especially loving the combination of blue and burgundy, like this cami pictured below. It reminds me of the Christian Louboutin hotel we stayed at in Melides, with its exterior painted in the most beautiful shades of blue and burgundy.

I originally went in to try on the lace Henri top, but it hasn’t arrived in stores yet. Instead, I tried on the Idella top, which is the perfect going out top, along with the Zelie top, which my daughter ended up getting. This rich chocolate lace dress and fringe plaid skirt are also beautiful additions to a fall wardrobe.

On our way out, we made one last stop at Hudson Grace. These Bon Appétit plates are so cute, and my favorite Sabre Bistro silverware is on sale!

On My Mind

by juleseeLeave a Comment on On My Mind

This weekend I got a break from the sweltering heat and headed to the Midwest to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We had the most beautiful fall weather. The air was crisp and the leaves were just starting to change colors.

The first thing I packed was my favorite Quince jacket (above), which I’ve been wearing for the past three seasons. It’s so soft and cozy, and the price is right. I also packed a White + Warren cashmere sweater (check out their Friends & Family sale here). They make some of the best cashmere sweaters. I’ve also been eyeing this Sold Out NYC cashmere sweater. It looks like the perfect oversized fit. Also in my carry-on were my comfortable AMO jeans (great for petites), Nili Lotan red pants, Salomon sneakers, and Buck Mason chambray shirt.

My daughter and I spent some time walking around Madison, and she was stopped several times by people asking where her sunny yellow monogrammed tote bag was from (below).

Also on my radar this week is the Reformation x Alexa Chung collaboration. It’s a 30 piece collection of vintage inspired partywear (check it out here).

Lastly, the big round buckle belt has been everywhere at Paris Fashion Week. I found this great version from Madewell that gives you a similar designer look for less.

Cute Skirt Alert

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Cute Skirt Alert

I’ve been seeing a lot of bandana print skirts lately, and I loved this one Julia Berolzheimer was wearing to the Veronica Beard NYFW event. She paired it so nicely with a blue Oxford button down, Chanel cardigan (I also like this B&ASH one), suede bag, and leopard boots. A couple of other options for a similar flowy, printed silk midi skirt are this one from Sandro and this one from Ulla Johnson.

A couple other things…

  1. Red pants are trending, and I purchased a pair from Pistola and Nili Lotan (size down). After trying them both on, I decided to go with the Nili Lotan pair. I liked the fit of both, but I preferred the Nili Lotan because they don’t have the black buttons.
  2. Also trending are red sweaters. I’m seeing them tied around the waist, thrown over the shoulders, and paired with blue. I love that color combination. This one from J.Crew is a great way to get the look.

Have a great day, everyone!

Fall Fixings

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Fall Fixings

I always get the most excited about fall fashion, and this season there are already so many standout pieces that I think are worth adding to your wardrobe. I love the simplicity of the polo button down above, especially paired with a bright red sweater for a fun pop of color and bucket bag.

Camo is everywhere right now, and I’m seeing so many great pairs of pants like these, these, and these. A cozy half zip pullover is another fall must have. I especially love this Miu Miu, but for a more affordable option, this Mother version with a pop of leopard is so good along with this chic one from The Great. I’m also loving this J.Crew OG anorak and hoping they release it in more colors.

The Margiela Tabi is definitely having a moment, and I have to admit, they’ve really grown on me.

Lastly, the bomber jacket is one of my favorite jacket silhouettes for fall. It feels effortless and cool and works with everything. I like this one by Nili Lotan, along with this suede version from Reformation.
