On our way out to Vegas I noticed these colorful rocks right outside the city and told Jeff we were stopping there on the way home. I’d seen them on instagram a few times and wanted to see them in person. The exhibit is called Seven Magic Mountains and it’s made up of these amazingly bright colorful rocks. You can find more information about them here if you’d like to visit.

Happy Monday! I’m sharing the last batch of photos from our road trip up the coast. After Santa Barbara we decided to stop and doing a little wine tasting at Melville Winery in Lompoc. It was a cloudy and kind of chilly day but that didn’t stop me from wearing this dress. Sizing note, it runs a little large. I’m wearing a small and it’s a bit too big.

I originally planned to wear it to The Madonna Inn, but decided to keep it casual for wine tasting with my trusty denim jacket and booties, which were ideal for walking around in the vines. Luckily the rain held out until the moment we were leaving the vineyard! It was the perfect day. continue reading

The last time I was at the Madonna Inn I was on a road trip with my family and I was 13.  All these years later it’s just as kitschy as I remembered. It’s such a fun spot that probably hasn’t changed much since it opened in the 50’s. We only stopped for breakfast, but I’d love to go back for a longer stay. All of the rooms are decorated with their own theme and you can actually choose which one you want to stay in. You can see them here. Also, if you’re there for more than one night they don’t mind if you switch rooms so you can experience more! continue reading

Here’s another look from our trip up north. I kept it really casual and light up there in my best efforts of fighting the heat. I loved how this bright floral J. Crew top really popped with the rustic background.

For the 4th of July, Jeff and I took a road trip up to Northern California. I don’t know about you, but when I’m spending hours sitting in the car (or anywhere) I like to be comfortable and casual. This outfit from Forever 21 proved to be just that. I realize it’s a bit ridiculous to pair this Stella McCartney bag with this uber laid back outfit, but it’s brand new and I just had to break it in!
