Mattei’s Tavern Los Olivos

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Mattei’s Tavern Los Olivos

The Great Cardigan // Doen Top // Jeanerica Jeans // Rachel Comey Clogs // Turquoise Necklace (similar to above)

I’m just getting back from a couple of nights at Mattei’s Tavern in Los Olivos. In the Santa Ynez Valley this charming boutique hotel is surrounded by horse ranches and beautiful vineyards. We stopped at the Montecito Mart on the way there for a little shopping. I went into Clic (love that boutique), Doen (got this gingham top), and a quick bite to eat at Merci. Once we were in Los Olivos we relaxed by the pool, drank delicious wines, and enjoyed their morning yoga classes. The little town is just a 5 minute walk away with cute boutiques and wine tasting rooms. We had lunch at Bell’s (amazing French bistro) and dinner at Bar Le Cote (modern seafood fare). On the way back home we checked out The Post Montecito a new shopping destination in Santa Barbara. The first Jamie Haller store opened (got these loafers) along with Brochu Walker (got this dress & top and eyeing this stunning cardigan), Merlette, Janessa Leone, Amber Interiors, and several more chic boutiques. Lastly, we stopped in Summerland which is filled with cute homes stores and Heidi Merrick boutique. Fun and easy little getaway!

More details on what I packed below.

J. Crew Two Piece Set // J. Crew Suit // Waterproof Birks

Kule Top // Levi Jeans // Hermes Sandals

Zimmermann Maxine Dress // Valentino Slides

I’m just returning from a week in Tuscany and Florence. We stayed at Monteverdi Tuscany a boutique hotel nestled in the restored medieval village of Castiglioncello del Trinoro. The hotel blends rustic charm with modern elegance. The rooms are beautifully designed, we had a villa that was perfect for a family with a gorgeous kitchen. The hotel serves farm-to-table food at their restaurants which we loved. The staff was amazing and a highlight of our stay along with the cooking class we did one evening on property. After Tuscany we went to Collegio all Querce, the newest addition to the Auberge collection. Collegio alla Querce is a luxurious hotel set in a restored 16th-century boarding school. It features elegant rooms with stunning views, several dining options, and a beautiful spa. They did an amazing job renovating this property but still keeping the old world charm. The restored frescos were a highlight for me along with the interior design. We spent most of our time by the picturesque pool swimming and eating el fresco (the pizza was insane). It’s just minutes from the city center, it offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the center of Florence. We will definitely be returning to this property!

A couple NEW things….

  1. Viani Milano x Lily Sisto shoe collaboration dropped today. Check it out here. My favorites are the gingham & stripe (love a mary Jane).
  2. I’ve been looking for a red leather belt and found this Gucci one in Italy.
  3. I needed a new pair of sunglasses and bought these Gucci ones. I love the shape of them.
  4. I love these two new button-downs I got from Rochelle Behrens (this one & this one). Runs big, xsmall for me.
  5. I took the FRE light weight 50 SPF sunscreen on my trip and it’s my new favorite. It’s lightweight and not greasy.
  6. Love these high rise pleated cotton poplin pants I bought to wear on the airplane but I have been wearing them a ton.
  7. I packed the Hermes Chypre sandal on my trip and they are so comfortable. I’m eying a new color way.
