Celebrating 30 Years!


Last month Jeff and I did a sweet little drive up the coast to Malibu to
Celebrate our 30th Anniversary!


Our first stop was
Malibu Farm Cafe
 for breakfast.
Located on the old Malibu Pier
it not only boasts an organic, local menu
but wrap around views as well!




The Malibu Farm is always a must stop for us!
They have two restaurants, the Cafe, which we did this time.
Last time we did the sit down restaurant, you can read my in depth post about  about it HERE
And I am so excited that Malibu Farm  will be coming to one of my all time favorite shopping spots
Lido Marina Village
 in Newport Beach!!


Malibu Farms is the perfect stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner
or you can even stop in for  drinks or coffee as well.
A little walk on the beach afterwards is a lovely way to finish your visit!


Flashback 30 years ... I can't believe it's been that many years!
What a ride it's been.


Thirty years later and we are still together!
These days that's definitely something to not only celebrate
but be utterly Grateful for!!

After breakfast we went to our next usual stop ...
The Lumberyard Shopping Mall
 in Malibu.
I'm always excited to shop at the  J Crew in Malibu
it always feels more special than  ours at South Coast Plaza.
So imagine my disappointment to find out the Malibu J Crew is now closed.
The brand has been having quite some problems of late
and
 has been forced to close many of their stores.
I truly feared it would be all downhill when the magnificent Jenna Lyons left the company.


Our lunch destination was further up the coast in Montecito.
We headed up to the
to dine at the iconic


Oh what a spectacular property it is!
It was our first visit
but definitely not our last!





There are 41 cottages that make up  this  luxury property 
which sits on 500 acres.

It was Forbes #1 Hotel.
And I understand why!!


We got a room back in Malibu at
Native Hotel.
It was a lovely well designed but spare room.
The first time we stayed there
we absolutely loved it.
This time it was 'fine'.
But that probably had more to do with coming right off of the
San Ysidro Ranch for lunch.
WE had no idea the Ranch would be so magnificent.
Definitely would not recommend that travel order,


We finished up our Anniversary Day  watching a superb  sunset at a perfect table at 


It was quite the whirlwind day!
I am so grateful for our Day Trip.
It was so perfect to take time out
 and
 revel in our  making it 30 years!

Thank you Jeff!  xoxox


As always my friends

I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
