5 Things To Do This Weekend

Hi everyone! Hope you've all had a fabulous week. My sister, Lulu, is en route to Santa Monica right now and Tory and I are so excited to have her. I have been absolutely loving California but I definitely miss home (parents, pups, siblings, fall leaves, etc.).  We have a full weekend planned but below are some of the highlights.

 

1. Pumpkin Patch - Saturday

We're hunting for celebrities as much as we're hunting for pumpkins : )

2. Joan's on Third - Brunch Saturday

 

3. Hike Temescal - gorgeous hike in SM/PP area with amazing views of the water (and not too hard!)

 

4. Strand House Manhattan Beach - Brunch Sunday

5. Beach! (yes, East Coast friends, beach)

 

 



I'm sure there will be lots of shopping and eating mixed in along the way but so excited to see my baby sister and have a great weekend. P.S. I painted my bedroom navy... looks AMAZING. Pics to follow!

 

 

Summer Whites

I love white any time of year but I especially live for it in the summer. For those of you who wait until Memorial Day to pull your white jeans out, welcome to summer!

Beach Cars and Golf Carts

I recently read an article in the New York Times about the rise in popularity of "beach cars" (tiny cars that you drive small distances like to the beach or town that are mostly "open air cars"). I grew up going to Boca Grande, Florida for Christmas and Spring Break and the island is dominated by golf carts and beach cars. We had a fire engine red golf cart that I loved cruising around in. The island has designated golf cart/bike paths all over the island so you never had to worry about being on the street with cars. The NYT article described people paying top dollar for rare beach cars that come complete with wicker seats and a hefty price tag. I love the look of them! Maybe I'm biased from my Boca Grande days but the tinier and more colorful the car (especially in pinks and corals!) the cuter, in my opinion! What do you guys think? I'd get some pretty odd stares if I tried to cruise around in one in NYC.
