Right before Hurricane Hilary hit Southern California, my husband and I managed to slip away for a date we’ve been wanting to do for a long time: whale watching! While we didn’t see any whales, we did see a TON of bottlenose dolphins, and it was nice to get out and spend some time together amongst a hectic time as of late. You know I … Continue reading Style Diaries – Whale Watching in Newport
Our first major post-pandemic vacation was our week-long trip to the Hawaiian island of Kauai this past June. It was just me and my husband for a second honeymoon of sorts, and it was WONDERFUL! The most gorgeous weather, tropical sunshine, comfortably cool and clear water, and the sweet smell of island fruits and flowers… I’m already dying to go back! To keep the endless … Continue reading Style Diaries – Summer Adventures in Hawaii
Not gonna lie, going to Austin, Texas in August is a special kind of HOT… But, Austin is just so darn cute that it’s worth it! Here’s what I wore for a weekend in this wonderfully weird city… Boots, Boots, and More Boots… Texas is the cowboy state, so you know I had to bring on the cowboy boots! To be honest, plain boots (or … Continue reading Style Diaries – A Weekend in Austin, TX
I’ll be honest, the hubby and I don’t get out much anymore since the pandemic, but one of our favorite things that we always make time to do is getting dressed up and having a nice dinner! It can be a little tough to figure out what to wear nowadays, as pajamas and athleisure are still pretty much the norm, but I love coming up … Continue reading Anatomy of a Look – Date Night @ the Mall
I’ve always thought it would be so fun to do a pay phone photoshoot, and as we were driving through North Park the other day, I found one that was against a bright orange wall! Needless to say, we stopped and after a little (or a lot) of sanitizing, we got some great shots! Also, I’m dying to mention, my bag is actually a REAL … Continue reading MDM Style Diaries – “Calling All Fashionistas!”
The hubby and I wanted to get away for the weekend, so we headed up to our favorite hideaway in Lake Tahoe! Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short due to the forest fires in the area shutting down the hiking trails, but we still had a great time relaxing, eating some good food, and squeezing a few hikes in before the smoke got … Continue reading MDM Style Diaries – @ The Stardust Motel
On a recent road trip, the hubby and I passed this abandoned drive-in restaurant and I immediately asked him to pull over so we could get some pics! I’m a sucker for vintage signs and retro vibes, so this ended up being the PERFECT location! Wearing Urban Outfitters sweater / BlankNYC jeans / Target headscarf / Melissa x Lazy Oaf sandals / Sugarfix by Baublebar … Continue reading MDM Style Diaries – @The Drive In
Old Town, San Diego is one of the most popular spots in the city for Mexican food, local art and culture, and historic buildings. I’ve been coming here ever since my college days, and our favorite local Mexican food chain Miguel’s has a really unique location here! After a long day of paddle boarding and working, the hubby and I headed out for a little … Continue reading MDM Style Diaries – Old Town, San Diego
Our third house guests of the summer were my brother-in-law and his girlfriend (FYI- my husband is the oldest of six boys so this was the second couple-in-law to visit!), so we had a fun-filled weekend taking them around our city! They got here late Thursday night, and the hubs and I had to work on Friday, so it was about two and a half … Continue reading MDM Style Diaries- A Weekend Well Spent
