Meet the greatest score of my life…these new boots. FROM TARGET!!!! So far they’ve been mistaken for Vince Camuto, Frye and Steve Madden. Mother jeans, Target boots, Zara wrap (similar) and purse (similar).
The little town of Summerland, about 15 minutes south on the 101 from Santa Barbara, is one of those California gems that reminds me why my property taxes are so high. Last weekend my mom and I headed up for a perfect 24 hours to celebrate the marriage of this awesome couple. Saturday was hot enough to wear a tank top and then Sunday was cozy with clouds and even rainfall-FINALLY! That didn’t stop us from taking a bike ride down the beach and around the zoo, where you can hear the lions and see the giraffes from the path. Of course no trip with Mom is complete without a little shopping, so after breakfast at Summerland Beach Cafe we headed across the street to Botanik, to soak up the sun, succulents and beachy home decor. It is so special to have this escape only an hour from where I live, it makes for the perfect mini-holiday. Even if just for the day, take the kids and the pups (the restaurant is very dog friendly as is the whole town) and go for even a few hours. You’ll feel recharged and you’ll leave wanting more.
I’m not really an antique-y person, but even I can fall for the charm of this barn-style mecca.
Succulents just never get old for me.
Made this little mirror a memento from the trip and took it home with me.
So copying this idea of planting shells.
Santa Barbara roofs, awwwwww
