Santa Barbara Wine Mixer

I tend to get overly excited about birthdays and I build up these hopes and somehow always get let down. But this year was different. I guess when you get older, you learn that all you need for your birthday is to spend it with the people you care about the most. So that's what I did! Last weekend I got to go wine tasting with the boy, my bestest friend and her boy. The weather was perfect, the wine was flowing...I couldn't have asked for anything more. 


 We went tasting in the Santa Inez Valley and just drove until we saw a winery that we wanted to stop at. I usually plan everything out, especially on trips like this, but this actually worked out a lot better.  The sommelier at one of the places we stopped at actually gave us a behind the scenes tour and took us down to the cellar and showed us all the grape plants. 







                                                      Dress: BCBGeneration
                                                      Jacket: Angl 
                                                      Tights: Chinese Laundry Legwear
                                                      Boots: Vince Camuto 
                                                      Rings: H&M

     **All these gorgeous pictures were taken by my best friend Jessica Rachelle**

I love this horse printed dress from BCBGeneration, I thought it was the perfect match for being outdoors. I swear by these Chinese Laundry tights! They are the most amazing pair I have ever owned! (this is not because I work for the company) They are fleece lined and thick, it's just really hard to find tights like that! I also love these Vince Camuto boots; the hidden wedge adds the right amount of height and they definitely let me trek through mud and multiple wineries.   

I had an amazing weekend (it went by way too fast) and was by far the best birthday! 
Stay tuned for more!
xoxo
