Life is always so busy and hectic that we sometimes forget to just sit and breathe.  Last weekend my husband and I did just that.  We had no specific plans but to enjoy each others company and beautiful mother nature.  I rarely get the time to just sit and watch the sun setting, this was one of those nights.

I decided to wear jeans and a cardigan because once the sun sets I get pretty cold.  I love wearing simple, comfortable clothing.  Maybe this is because California style has grown on me, or maybe because I just don’t feel at ease when I’m trying so hard with my fashion.  I think women are at their sexiest when they feel comfortable in their outfits.  Some women thrive in fancy and elegant looks, while others look amazing in California cool.  One of my inspirations of this is Sincerely Jules.  Most of the time she has a laid back look with sneakers and yet I always find her so chic, fashionable and sexy.

It is important to determine what your style is and work with it.  There is no point dressing in whatever is trendy at the time if you don’t feel comfortable in it.  This has taken me some time to figure out but I think I have finally found my style and groove.

With Love…..

My husband and I just celebrated our 2 year Wedding Anniversary this past weekend.  I can’t believe how quickly time flies.  These past two years have been so amazing and we have become so much closer.  This next year we will have our first baby and this will be such a joyous change to our lives.  We can’t wait.

For the past two years we have decided to celebrate our Anniversary at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara.  Its only an hour and a half away but it feels like a paradise weekend for us. “Nestled on the bluff and beaches of the Gaviota coast between the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains, Bacara Resort & Spa offers relaxed luxury and stunning natural beauty for an unforgettable getaway in Southern California.”  The resort has everything you could ask for.  An amazing Spa, a beautiful pool, nature walks, fitness classes and the most beautiful dog friendly beach!  If you are an avid golfer, they have a course right next to the hotel.

The sunsets are so spectacular and have become one of the main attractions of the resort.  We both agree that the most breath taking sunsets we have seen have been on their beachfront.  The colors of the sky and water are just magical, and my pictures don’t even do them justice.  The only event we have planned when we go, are the sunsets on the beach!

Note:  None of these sunset photos have filters….thats how magical the sunsets are!!

Downtown Santa Barbara is very close and such a cute city with so much to see.  Not to mention there are many vineyards so a wine tasting tour is always a favorite of ours.  This weekend we exclusively stayed at the resort and made it a full relaxation weekend.  With the weather in the nineties who wouldn’t want to lay by the pool and catch some sun.  I highly recommend you visit this resort if you are ever in the area.

With Love…..
