The above organic cotton white button-down I have been wearing over a swimsuit or with white linen pants. Lastly, my waterproof Ava Birkenstocks I walked 16k steps in are also great for the pool and beach (especially a rocky beach).

We had drinks at St. Regis, lunch at Pacifico Beach club (the best octopus tostada), dinner at Mina and La Rustico.

City Girl

I’ve got the LA to NYC weekend trip down to a science. I take the Thursday night red eye arriving in NYC in the morning. I pack my Ursa Major wipes and do a face cleanse in the taxi on the way into the city. I apply a little make-up and I’m ready for the day. I drop my luggage off at the hotel and hit the ground running. This itinerary allows me to have two full days and time for Sunday brunch before heading home and having dinner with my family in LA. We stayed at the Soho Grand this time around which I really liked. The location is great and there’s quite a scene at night if you’re into that.

Now onto fashion, here are somethings I noticed while strolling the streets of NYC. The Acne scarf is everywhere along with the Toteme scarf coat, platform Uggs, oversized leather jackets (like below also like this & this), camel overcoats, and the chocolate North Face Nuptse. I stopped into Catbird to get zapped for a permanent bracelet. I also went into Loeffler Randall to check out these raffia Maryjane’s and woven Leonie ballet flats. Lastly, it was Sezane to scope out the Sezane x Sea collection (saw this cute top) and the Polene boutique where I spotted this chic bag.

Food highlights – Lunch at Pastis (the chicken Paillard was so good along with the people watching), sushi at Bond St. (Blue Ribbon on Sullivan is still my fave), lox & bagel at Sadelle’s, slice of pizza at Upside in Nolita, and a Levain Bakery chocolate chip cookie.

Have a great week everyone!

Highland Park

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. My husband and I met up with friends on Saturday night in Highland Park. We started off at Nativo a charming and cozy bar/restaurant that serves up craft cocktails (I tried El Tesoro tequila for the first time which was really good), next it was dinner at Joy on York (amazing per usual), and finally a night cap at Good Housekeeping a tiny hipster bar nestled behind Cafe Birdie (super cute). Next time we are in the area we will hit Highland Park Bowl which was packed with people and would make for another fun outing in Highland Park.

Now onto fashion, Spring has sprung at J. Crew including new colors of the cashmere monogrammed sweater I’m wearing above. Also worth noting is this cashmere cropped cardigan, Barbour x House of Hackney Jacket (great collab), boucle Lady Jacket, and quilted denim Lady Jacket.

Above Outfit – A.P.C. Blazer // J. Crew Sweater // Mother Jeans // Isabel Marant Boots

Have a great week!

Wynwood

Happy New Year everyone! I am just returning from a trip to Florida. We started off in Navarre Beach (the Gulf Coast beaches are stunning!) and finished in Miami. It’s been several years since I’ve been to Miami so it was fun exploring. I loved the Miami Design District along with Wynwood. Wynwood is known for its colorful blocks upon blocks of murals , and is one of the city’s most happening districts. We had a delicious pastry from Zak the Baker, popsicles from Cielito, and tacos from La Tiendita. My retail therapy consisted of a stop into Pitua a budget friendly resort wear line. Coincidentally, that morning I had a spotted a very chic women at my hotel wearing a Pitusa crochet top, Dior bag, bottega wallet, and Gucci slides. While in the store I also found this long caftan, short caftan, crochet dress, and pants. If you happen to be in Miami a visit to Wynwood is a must! Have a great week everyone.

We had dinner at Wayfare Tavern, Tyler Florence’s upscale American eatery that is oozing charm. The deviled eggs and popovers were delicious. Friday morning we strolled over to the Ferry Building for breakfast at Daily Driver SF (really good bagel). Lastly, it was shopping on Jackson Street where I picked up this perfectly fitting herringbone blazer (size 34), and ballet flats (25% off and so comfy).

Ciao

I am just returning from a family trip to Italy. I thought you might enjoy hearing some details about my trip, so I’m sharing some highlights. First stop Rome, we stayed at Baubino 181. It’s a boutique hotel right off Piazza del Popolo. Our first evening we had drinks at Hotel de Russe (gorgeous garden setting) then dined at Roscioli Salumeria. Our second day we spent the day roaming the streets of Rome taking in the sites and then it was dinner at Nino. The food at Nino was great (service a bit icy) but we enjoyed the street side setting. We had coffee at the original Sant’ Eustachio il Cafe and lunch at Pizzaria Da Baffetto. Next it was off the Puglia, it’s just a 1 hour flight from Rome. The Rome Airport might be one of my all time favorite airports (the Eataly food court is insane). When we arrived in Puglia we rented a car and headed straight to Masseria Cervarolo. A stunning family run Masseria in Ostuni. The setting, grounds, decor, food, and service were outstanding! We enjoyed several 6 course dinners during our stay at the hotel, and the most amazing breakfasts. Everything prepared at this property is made with local ingredients and all the pastries are homemade. It truly exceeded our expectations. We fell in love with Ostuni, the town square is bustling with locals. We had dinner at Osteria del Tempo Perso at the top of Ostuni (request a table in the cave). The views from the top are spectacular. Our second evening it was dinner at Piazetta Grande Ostuni a gourmet meal served in a historic cathedral. We had amazing sandwiches at Les Sandwiches in Ostuni. We visited Polignano a Mare, Alberobello (famous for their trulli’s), and Lecce. Also on our itinerary was a day at Cocarro Beach club for a beach day and some shopping at Orsina Dansai. We enjoyed afternoons relaxing poolside at the beautiful Masseria and tasting all the amazing wines from Puglia. A truly special part of Italy that we can’t wait to go back and visit.

I am just returning from a weekend in Nashville. It was focused on college touring but there was still time for some fun.

Southern Charm

Over the long weekend I went on a girls trip to Charleston. It’s been on my list for so long and I was so happy to finally make it there. We stayed at the Belmond Hotel which is located in the historic district. Charleston is full of amazing restaurants, bars, shops, and beautiful architecture. The first night a rickshaw was waiting outside of our hotel to whisk us off to dinner. We dined at Hall’s Chop House an iconic Charleston steakhouse. It was one of the best steakhouses I have ever been to. The service was impeccable and the iceberg wedge, petit filet, seafood tower were all perfection. The next day we spent time exploring Charleston by foot. I was in awe of all the beautiful architecture, well manicured homes, and cobble stone streets. We stopped for lunch at Basic Kitchen which is LA meets Charleston cuisine. Next was shopping on Kings Street and we started with Charleston’s beautifully curated Hamden Clothing store that carries an abundance of unique designers (they have a great on-line store). Then it was Beau & Ro (I picked a Mille Dress runs big size down) and refreshed my St. James Top), Madison Mathews (cute boho dresses), and Etu Home (I wanted everything in there). Then it was time for Shanghai Rummy and drinks at The Gin Joint. This bar was oozing with charm. We had beautiful hand crafted cocktails, delicious Lambrusco, homemade warm pretzels, and chips and caviar. Next, it was dinner at Fig which was a warm and cozy atmosphere. The scallop hamachi was amazing but the seafood entrees were underwhelming. Sunday we drove out to Kiawah Island and had lunch at the The Ocean Course. It’s absolutely stunning with panoramic ocean views. I now know why so many of my friends vacation in Kiawah every year. On the way home we stopped to see the magnificent Angel Tree. Our last evening was spent at another charming vintage inspired bar The Belmont and then we headed across the street to The Ordinary. This seafood restaurant featured the most incredible seafood tower (oysters, clams, black bass larb, tuna hamachi, flounder with smoked trout roe). We finished off dinner with a flavorful crab gumbo, blue crab fried rice, and a chocolate budino for desert (so good!). The following morning we packed up and headed back to LA. Charleston is truly a special city and I had so much fun exploring it with my friends.

Each room is spacious with modern decor and a beautiful patio overlooking the ocean. The service and food (they just opened a Mozza) were outstanding.
