Pieces of Me: Weekend Edition

The absolutely gorgeous view from Summerwood Winery in Paso Robles.

Looking out on Halter Ranch


The cozy Inn at Summerwood.  


 Fresh off an amazing weekend with friends wine tasting in Paso! We took over the B&B
at Summerwood Winery and everything was absolutely unbelievable. If you haven't been
I highly recommend it!

Another Monday. Another fresh start.
Make it count!

This is such a unique and cool store in Ojai called In The Field! Need that teepee. 

Scored these sandals on sale and I haven't taken them off since!

My favorite spot for bread at the Santa Barbara Public Market. A must try if you are ever in SB!

 My warm weather uniform of cutoffs and sandals.

Sayulita Diary


 Back from a whirlwind weekend of fun in Sayulita, Mexico!
We headed to the quaint surfing town for the wedding of our dear
friends and had an absolute blast. The town is a little village with 
the loveliest people and most amazing stores….I mean dream catchers
and bull heads, what? Still kicking myself for not buying this one.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Pieces of Me: Santa Barbara Edition



A little day tripping diary when I went with my boys to Santa Barbara!
We stopped by the beach, walked around State Street, and ate at one of my most
favorite restaurants Olio Pizzeria

A birthday cake for the hubs who doesn't like cake! So I made a "cake" out of his favorite chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. Was perfect!

The table setting for the hubs birthday dinner party.

Grape leaves and watermelon & feta skewers for apps!

A little date night look! My favorite Everlane shirt & new fave Lauren Merkin bag.

Can't believe I'm saying this but…..Happy OCTOBER!

Real Talk


I pinned this on my Pinterest and immediately felt at ease after reading it.
If you are a "blogger" than you can relate to the pressure that we put on 
ourselves to continuously put content out on the interwebs day after day,
week after week.  No one is pressuring us but ourselves and the question remains, 
why do we do this? Guilt? Fear? And even if you aren't a blogger but just someone in 
general who constantly feels like they have to keep up with everything you have 
going on, then this totally makes sense. 

I rarely ever get deep or personal but sometimes its cathartic to be honest with
your feelings and with all of you. I'm used to having it all together and controlling
all aspects of my life (blog life, work life, home life, real life) for the most part,
 but since I've been pregnant that has gone out the window. I'm convinced it's the 
universe's way of teaching me to go with the flow, relax and take it easy. With just 
9 very short weeks left, I have finally stepped back and realized that I can't 
do it all....and that's ok.

I think i have officially hit my "nesting" stage. I spent wayyyy too much time organizing,
cleaning, and purging my closet over the weekend. But these BaubleBar beauties were definitely keepers!


Still can't get over this cute onesie from my friend Christin


Outtake from my shoot with DustyLu. Loved this dress!


My posting has obviously been intermittent, and I've really been trying
to relax and give up trying to do and control everything which can be extremely
hard (especially if controlling everything is your norm). This has been a true
test in learning to let go and just enjoy the beauty of all the changes that are
happening and that are about to happen. I mean, when you have a full on waddle 
happening and feel like spandex is the best invention in the world, outfit posts 
definitely seem to be less and less glamourous. You feel me? Although there are those 
days when getting dolled up and dressed in my best make me feel like myself again!

I hope you'll continue to follow along this exciting new journey with me and I
am so grateful for each and every one of you!

I'm still posting frequently on instagram! You can follow along here :).

My Thanksgiving table.
Loved using these inexpensive glass candles (also known in my latin household as the candle we light to pray for every damn thing) from the grocery store to decorate the table with! I gathered leaves from our giant maple tree and spray painted them gold for each place setting along with mini gold pumpkins.
Was so fun setting and hosting our first Turkey Day!
The amazing words of Nelson Mandela. #rip

An insane December sunset in my hood.

I gave our front door some Christmas cheer! Bought these wreaths already done and added the
burlap ribbon to personalize them a bit.

Happy weekend.

An afternoon made better with some sprinkle treats + Darling Magazine!

 A little Marant x H&M goodie :)

 My new personalized cards from #presspapershop + fave candle

The makings of a new gallery wall with Mr. Deer + his fancy new bow tie!
Side note: I first started the wall by mapping everything out and measuring each 
frame perfectly. But honestly, it just made it more complicated. The wall came out so 
much better when I just flew by the seat of my pants! Sometimes you just gotta go for it :)

Happy weekend.
