Is it spring, yet?

I know I'm already weather-spoiled by living in California while the rest of the country is under piles of snow, but this dress and all this sunshine is making me yearn for spring...

Ralph Lauren yellow paisley dress

which would go amazing with this Oscar de la Renta embroidered thong...

and finally, this John Hardy Kali pieced-metal heart charm reminds me of the smoothed pebbles I love to find on the beach...

Pacifica Paradise

JP and I spent another GORGEOUS day at the beach last weekend! 80 degree weather, light warm offshore breezes, and plenty of waves to go around. :) Here's a little vid I threw together to give ya'll the quick highlights of JP's skills...

2009: Year of Dreams

I guess every year should be the year to fulfill your dreams, but JP and I have decided to make 2009 special! Since we both had Jan 1st off from work, we spontaneously hopped in the car and made our way to Bodega Bay, just north of San Francisco. We spent a beautiful day at the beach, breathing in the fresh air, basking in the sun's rays, and enjoying the amazingly blue view of the endless ocean. It felt like paradise at the end of a very long year! :) In this setting, we recommitted ourselves to doing all we could to make our most important goals and dreams come true.

As you can see, it's not hard to dream big when life is this beautiful...



Here's to my Nikon point-and-shoot that was used to take each of these photos, most from a moving car! :)
