A Weekend in San Luis Obispo

IMG_1102
A few weeks ago, my girlfriends and I spent a magical weekend in San Luis Obispo, a sweet little town on the Central Coast of California. We stayed in a spacious house, Casita Las Brisas, complete with hot tub, native landscaping and drop dead gorgeous valley views. The environment was conducive to complete relaxation and inspiration.

We took a million pictures and tried to control our desire to instagram every single moment.

My sister drove down from San Francisco and arrived just in time for a perfect sunset.

Just really really happy to be there at that moment.

We drank a bit of champagne with raspberries. And spicy tequila cocktails made by Bea.

And chilled Lambrusco in the hot sun.

The sun felt amazing and I tried to soak it all in (for short intervals, while wearing sun screen)

We went to the farmers market and admired the impressive bounty of local produce and flowers.

SLO is wine country and we visited several wineries one afternoon. Our favorite was Edna Valley, where we stocked up on gourmet ingredients and bottles of wine to bring home. We also turned it into a photoshoot.
