My Latest Obsessions

Wedding at La Casa Del Camino - Laguna Beach

Happy Friday! Well, PFC and I just got back from CA - and we had a wonderful trip. We stayed in Santa Monica for a night and then headed to Laguna Beach for a wedding. It was nice to get away and recharge. JuJu and my stepdad flew here and held down the fort. They had a great time hanging out w/ C + M and Georgie.

Such a great trip = Viceroy Santa Monica for a night. We arrived around Noon last Thursday and walked down to Venice Beach and then did a little shopping on Abbott Kinney Blvd. We stopped in Lemonade for a blood orange lemonade (so delicious) and then perused some items in Steven Alan (cute dress). We had an AMAZING dinner at Capo. Both of us agreed that it was one of the best dinners we have had in a long time. Great atmosphere there too - warm and cozy (and it helped that we were situated next to a very chic parisian couple). I'm still dreaming about my rigatoni with truffle meat sauce and the white corn ravioli with truffle (I couldn't decide so the waitress gave me portions of both entrees = FAB idea)! And PFC had the filet grilled over their wood fired grill - so yummy. And we started w/the heirloom tomato vegetable with burrata cheese = DIVINE. We basically rolled out of the restaurant back to our hotel and sleep very well. The next morning we grabbed breakfast at Cora's Coffee Shoppe (so delicious). Of course we didn't leave the area without a celeb sighting - we saw Brooke Burke and David Charvet (remember him in Baywatch?)at Geoffrey's (killer spot overlooking the water in Malibu). And then we were off to Laguna to meet up w/the crew for the wedding. We stayed at La Casa Del Camino and the wedding took place on the rooftop overlooking the ocean (GORGEOUS). The evening before the wedding we had dinner at Las Brisas (which my mom informed me we had been to when we were little). Talk about amazing view...WOW. And now we are home!
