So I don't know if you have caught on yet but I spend every weekend in Santa Barbara (The boy... his name is Jacob moved there for work). I call it my escape. Santa Barbara is beautiful, I absolutely love it. It's relaxing, the food is amazing and the scenery is breathtaking. Not to mention he lives 2 minutes from downtown and about 10 minutes (depending on how fast I walk) to the beach. What's not to love? It's nice to get out of LA/OC... it's such a change of pace.

This past Sunday, the weather was warm enough to wear a dress. The weather varies so much (and I definitely do not trust those weather reporters), I seriously have to pack outfit options for every possible situation. Since Jacob is new to the area as well, we tend to explore new areas of Santa Barbara each weekend. This past weekend was the Harbor.

I decided to wear this crochet strapless dress that I found at this random boutique I discovered by my house  (you can say it's like a forever 21 but they have brands that are usually carried in boutiques for A LOT less) and layered it with my all time favorite denim vest from BCBGeneration. I should have got a closer shot but it also has these silver studs on it...so cute. We did a lot of walking this day so I opted for these cognac boots from Steve Madden. I seriously got these over 2 years ago and they are outlasting all of my other pairs. I did have to get them resoled, but was definitely worth it since these are one of my go-to's. I have wanted this handbag ever since I saw it at H&M, I wear my Marc Jacobs and my Tory bags to death, so once I see a cute everyday bag, I need it, not to mention it was a bargain.

Off I go to Santa Barbara today...a shorter visit this time but still a great escape.

I plan on blogging a lot more...more like 5 days a week. So stay tuned!
