How I Spent My... 4th Of July Weekend

Hudson's Swim Outfit: Janie & Jack; The Dude Hat: Crew Cuts | Hudson's Second Outfit: Janie & Jack; Shoes: Vans | Pom Pom Beach Tote: Mar Y Sol

We took our annual Labor Day Santa Barbara trip a little early this year because of baby boy's impending arrival and celebrated 4th of July up at Bacara this past Friday through Sunday. Hudson had a blast walking around the property, looking at the boats + ocean and especially loved playing in their pool and sand area! We also got left the hotel twice for some yummy treats at Freebird's in Isla Vista and McConnell's Ice Cream & Yogurt Shop on Mission. So nice to get away and make some memories as a family of three before our new addition makes his debut! Hope you had a great 4th! XOXO 

How I Spent My... 4th Of July Weekend

1. 4th of July Pool Outfit Cover Up: J.Crew [sold out; matching bikini on sale here] | Swim Suit: Victoria's Secret | Hat: Forever 21 | Shoes: J.Crew Rio Sandals in Gold. 2. Pool Essentials including the One Truffle Clarity Clutch, Sara Happ The Lip Slip + SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion SPF 50. 3. The infamous $10 latte from Alfred's Coffee & Kitchen [3 shots of espresso and Pressed Juicery vanilla almond milk]. 

A little look at my 4th of July weekend and week so far... we spent a few days at the pool [Hudson loved swimming!] and pretty much just had a low key couple of days which was nice. Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
