oc lovin

I was in the OC for a couple of days this week for work...it was so nice to be there. Seriously, I love Cali so much and I am always trying to talk Rob into moving back to his home town. I dream of palm trees and year round sunshine.

It was such a shame to go and not be able to enjoy it with my boys or do any of the things I would do if I were there for pleasure versus business.

No beach
No watching the sets of waves roll in
No exploring awesome new restaurants and eats
No pool time
No sleeping in on super comfy hotel beds
No on demand movies
No sun kissed skin

I did actually get to do some shopping though. We stayed across the street from South Coast Plaza. Lot's of high end stores. I almost thought about getting a new something from Tiffany's or replacing my run down Louis Vuitton pochette just because it was accessible...but I behaved myself and just loaded up at H&M instead. (I seriously can't believe we don't have an H&M here in Utah. I found out Denver doesn't have one either and that did make me feel a little better.)

I got this awesome leather bracelet....in butter, cream, and black. I loved it so much I had to get it in every color. Perfect for summer.


I also got a few dresses including this navy striped number. It is more of a pool dress but it super comfy cas with leggings. Nevermind the crappy lighting and crappy picture.


My little trip triggered a little idea to plan more Cali time sometime later this summer or maybe early fall. I'm thinking maybe some Legoland and Seaworld and maybe a day or two in Newport or Laguna... then north of LA to Thousand Oaks to spend time with family and friends.
