Good morning, sweets! How are you all doing today? As I mentioned yesterday, I'm planning a trip to California in a few weeks so my mind's kinda preoccupied dreaming of all of the fun that's in store.
The trip came about pretty last minute. J is going to LA and San Diego for work so I decided to fly out a few days later and stay for a week. We're heading to Palm Springs, a place that I LOVE, and then heading on over to Santa Barbara. Looking forward to checking out The Parker in Palm Springs and then showing J the beauty of Santa Barbara. I've only been to Santa Barbara once before for a day on a business trip but the beauty of the city has stuck with me ever since. While we're there we'll hit up some wineries too. Can't wait!
If any of you have suggestions of things to do while we're there, I'll gladly take them :)
Hope you all have a wonderful day! And happy almost Friday! xoxo

Oh that is going to be awesome! Lucky you! We were in LA and Palm Springs just a few weeks ago. I don't really have a specific place in mind but there were so many great restaurants and shops in downtown PS... I love it there too.
Are you available for coffee/brunch next weekend (Easter weekend)? We're coming down on Saturday and leaving on Monday.
Have a lovely day!

Cali sounds god right about now...actually anywhere does, lol.....have a great time planning hunnie!! Hope you are having a good day...work has me SWAMPED this week:(
can't wait till the ocean is warm enough to jump into.
I wish I could be of any help...I've heard so many people say San Diego is just utterly gorgeous. Enjoy, enjoy...a trip to Californian wineries is pretty much my dream vacation.
I think you got it just right- the beach is the only place I ever want to be. Gorgeous photos.
So jealous! Love it out there - you are going to ahve so much fun and it should be nice and warm so you can get lots of good sun time!
Much love,

now I am california dreaming!:)
Sounds like a fabulous trip! You will definitely have the best time! I have family in Santa Barbara. A fun place! I recommend going to State Street for sure! It's a street full of shopping...a type of mall, but all outdoors. It has everything...and good restaurants :)
Have some wine for me jolie! So excited for you- Santa Barbara is GORGEOUS.
I am so jealous of your California vacation. My vacation has been pushed back to November, but I'm trying to make a mini getaway for 3 or 4 days sometime this summer.
This would be my ulimate itinerary for Southern California. So jealous. I love Santa Barbara.

I have never been to California but sounds more than an exciting place to visit! You will surely have a great time and some beach holiday? I envy you!!!!:-))) kisses and have a terrific weekend!!!
That sounds really good!! I payed a really short visit to Santa Barbara once, so I can't give you any tips. Hope you have a great time, I'll bet that's going to happen:)
the weather is gorgeous right now...hope it stays for your vacation! you must go into montecito...go drive the streets and look at the beautiful homes. lucky's is great for lunch or dinner. if you can, san ysidro ranch for brunch...amazing!
your trip sounds like it will be so wonderful! i really want to head back to palm springs and am excited that you will be in sb. the weather has been wonderful :)
Loved this post. I could feel the heat coming off the photographs! Makes me wish it was warmer here in SF, for sure!
