Hi, friends! We are officially back from vacation, but truth be told, am actually typing this from sunny California. So, today's post is going to be rather slim. I want to make the most of our last few hours here.
I wore this to "grown up" dinner Sunday night. We made reservations at Javier's. If you live in California, I am sure you have heard of this place. It's hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever eaten at and believe me, I have been to plenty. It wasn't just about the food and jalapeno margaritas, the décor and architecture blew my mind. If you ever have the opportunity to dine there, I highly recommend it.
The evenings get pretty chilly in SoCal, so I pulled out my trusted maxi and layered it with a lightweight mesh sweater. It was the perfect combination for staying warm and still being ocean side appropriate.
I will be back in full force tomorrow. Sorry I don't have more entertaining news to report today. I have about 1,000 pictures between my phone and two cameras. I am hoping to sort through them in give a full California report one of these days. This trip's memories will definitely last a lifetime. My heart hurts a little that it's over, but will be beaming for weeks to come. The looks on my girls' faces when we were at Disneyland; you just can't put a price tag on that.
Thanks again to the ladies who posted for me while I was gone and to all of you who stopped by. It meant more than you know.

Love the combination of mint, metallic and leopard. Glad you had a great trip. California is my absolute favorite place!
If you ever back in LA, you should go to Uncle Bill's Pancake House or Sloopys. Both are in Manhattan Beach.

I love that you're covered but you don't look like you're overheating and you are summery and comfy! Sometimes I don't want to show a bunch of skin and this is a great way to do that but still look fab!
