     Santa Barbara, you are B E A U T I F U L ♥ I am at a loss for words because I think I just found the city of my dreams this past weekend…Santa Barbara! With beaches + lovely harbors walking distances from some of the nicest bars + restaurants, it quickly became one of my favorite places I have visited since moving to LA. While I am always heading out to Palm Springs for some desert fun, this past weekend I decided to switch things up by heading to Santa Barbara for some beachside fun in the sun! My boyfriend + I both had never been to this great city but found a chic + quant little hotel with some serious charm on State Street (the main street hub of downtown Santa Barbara) called Hotel Santa Barbara.

    I have been wanting to go to Santa Barbara for sometime now + this weekend before the Memorial Day rush was the perfect time! Being from Long Island, nothing makes this newfound LA gal happier than putting my feet in the sand + smelling that fresh ocean breeze…luckily with Hotel Santa Barbara being just half a mile from the beach, that was exactly what I did all weekend long. From discovering the two harbors ventured to by the locals which each had their own little attractions like a Maritime Museum or a Sea Center Aquarium to adorable little gift stops + ice cream shops, I was in complete bliss. It was such a nice change of pace from the hustle + bustle of LA and it honestly reminded me of home. The fact you can walk down a boardwalk without it being overly crowded by tourists like in Santa Monica, to being able to bar hop on State Street to taking part in local festivities (when Mike and I arrived at Hotel Santa Barbara, there was a car show happening out front) to live music just about everywhere, there was never a shortage of things to do + places to experience!missyonmadison, melissa tierney, missyonmadison instagram, fashion blogger, travel blogger, santa barbara, hotel santa barbara, hotel review, hotels in santa barbara, santa barbara beaches, gucci crossbody bag, platform wedges, tan platform wedges, chloe wedges, weekend getaway, travel style, vera bradley luggage, vera bradley duffle bag, vera bradley weekender bag, peach halter dress, pink halter dress, la blogger, road trip, what to do in santa barbara,missyonmadison, melissa tierney, missyonmadison instagram, fashion blogger, travel blogger, santa barbara, hotel santa barbara, hotel review, hotels in santa barbara, santa barbara beaches, gucci crossbody bag, platform wedges, tan platform wedges, chloe wedges, weekend getaway, travel style, vera bradley luggage, vera bradley duffle bag, vera bradley weekender bag, peach halter dress, pink halter dress, la blogger, road trip, what to do in santa barbara,missyonmadison, melissa tierney, missyonmadison instagram, fashion blogger, travel blogger, santa barbara, hotel santa barbara, hotel review, hotels in santa barbara, santa barbara beaches, gucci crossbody bag, platform wedges, tan platform wedges, chloe wedges, weekend getaway, travel style, vera bradley luggage, vera bradley duffle bag, vera bradley weekender bag, peach halter dress, pink halter dress, la blogger, road trip, what to do in santa barbara,missyonmadison, melissa tierney, missyonmadison instagram, fashion blogger, travel blogger, santa barbara, hotel santa barbara, hotel review, hotels in santa barbara, santa barbara beaches, gucci crossbody bag, platform wedges, tan platform wedges, chloe wedges, weekend getaway, travel style, vera bradley luggage, vera bradley duffle bag, vera bradley weekender bag, peach halter dress, pink halter dress, la blogger, road trip, what to do in santa barbara,

    What I loved most about Santa Barbara was most certainly our hotel. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely picky when it comes to where I stay when traveling. Having a icky hotel can put a damper on the experience + ruin your trip. Luckily that was far from the case here!! I instantly fell in love with Hotel Santa Barbara from the moment we stepped into the old fashioned elevator taking us to our floor. It reminded me of the Tower Of Terror at Disney (in a good way haha…I LOVED that ride to be honest…) and this elevator was reminiscent of that in the most charming of ways.

    The room itself was clean, cozy + photo friendly (meaning it had the perfect amount of light making it insta worthy all the way haha :p).

    Whether you want to lounge for a bit in a comfy robe like I did or start a pillow fight (which I also did), the bed is beyond comfortable + the room is amazing quality + truly feels like a home away from home!

    And I am on the move! Today I am off to Florida and I couldn’t be more excited! A few months ago Nordstrom + Live Nation had a huge sweepstakes to promote the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (aka my favorite sale of the year) + who would have thunk it…I W O N 🙂

    So what did I win you may ask? Two tickets for me and a guest to any Live Nation show in the country + a weekend getaway to see it — So, I decided why not go somewhere fun! Universal Orlando! My dad is flying and meeting me in Orlando so we can head to Universal Studios (I haven’t been since I was a child :p) + we are going to see Amy Schumer + Aziz Ansari in Tampa!missyonmadison, melissa tierney, kenneth cole satchel, cobalt blue satchel, blue satchel, chambray button down, floral chiffon camisole, denim shorts, espadrille wedges, wayfarer sunglasses, la blogger, la roadtrip,missyonmadison, melissa tierney, kenneth cole satchel, cobalt blue satchel, blue satchel, chambray button down, floral chiffon camisole, denim shorts, espadrille wedges, wayfarer sunglasses, la blogger, la roadtrip,

    Another fun thing I wanted to share in today’s post? (Besides this casual OOTD)…Since this weekend is going to be the first time I am seeing my dad since our road trip here from NY, I wanted to finally share some of the photos from the journey!

    I seriously can’t wait to see my dad! I am a total daddy’s girl and after dropping him at LAX once we arrived in LA I cried…for a while (hey maybe I am slightly overly emotional but this is my first time on my own). I am super excited about seeing him and even more excited about creating some new memories — I mean we are going to Universal and I need to see the Minions (fun fact…I am o b s e s s e d with those little guys haha!)

    I will forever be a kid at heart<3missyonmadison, melissa tierney, kenneth cole satchel, cobalt blue satchel, blue satchel, chambray button down, floral chiffon camisole, denim shorts, espadrille wedges, wayfarer sunglasses, la blogger, la roadtrip,

    NYFW is right around the corner and that means…P R E P time! See everyone thinks Fashion Week is a fun time like you see on TV or in magazines, but actually attending is work…lugging around your camera, notes, back up phone charger (I usually carry 3…hey those apps totally runs down your battery), your makeup, back up shoes (because even I can’t run around Manhattan in heels all day)…it is work! So what gets me to go up, up, up even if I feel completely drained from the work ahead? Preparing ahead of time!

        • Plan your outfits ahead of time — I usually lay out 5 – 7 different options — all that can be easily transitioned from day to night)
        • Prepare what you need to bring — I always pack a few essentials to stay on track (Back Up Phone Charger, My Camera, My Planner — I am old fashioned and still like to hand write things because what if your phone dies? Kinda tragic if all of your plans are in it!)missyonmadison, melissa tierney, vera bradley, nyfw, smartwater, nyfw survival guide, vera bradley red bag, red satchel, vera bradley red satchel, scentbird, refillible perfume, viktor and rolf, gigi ny date book, gigi ny agenda, smart water, up up up, rebecca minkoff leather pouch, initial leather pouch, portable iphone charger, back up iphone charger, ny, new york fashion week, mbfw, mercedes benz fashion week, what to bring to fashion week,
        • Stay Hydrated + Fueled — Now this is pretty accurate to what you see on TV, it’s rare you see anyone eating during Fashion Week because shows are back to back and any events that do mention they include food…it’s usually champagne and cupcakes (which for me isn’t a well balanced meal haha I like to eat #SorryNotSorry). I always bring a bottle of water with me and the past two Fashion Weeks smartwater has been my choice because it also has electrolytes that keep me energized to continue going Up, Up, Up throughout my day!missyonmadison, melissa tierney, vera bradley, nyfw, smartwater, nyfw survival guide, vera bradley red bag, red satchel, vera bradley red satchel, scentbird, refillible perfume, viktor and rolf, gigi ny date book, gigi ny agenda, smart water, up up up, rebecca minkoff leather pouch, initial leather pouch, portable iphone charger, back up iphone charger, ny, new york fashion week, mbfw, mercedes benz fashion week, what to bring to fashion week,
        • Always Network + Bring Business Cards — I still believe in being old fashioned and bringing business cards to events (although now-a-days most people just follow each other on social media to connect) I still think there is something genuine about exchanging business cards and I always keep mine in my Initial Pouch.
        • Wear A Statement Wearing Bag — I always love to wear a chic bag that has room for all of my essentials and also makes a statement during Fashion Week. This Red Leather Bag is perfect for NYFW and it came just in time for the September shows<3
        • Always Bring Perfume or Body Spray — Nothing is worse than running around all day and realizing you need a little ‘refresh’. missyonmadison, melissa tierney, vera bradley, nyfw, smartwater, nyfw survival guide, vera bradley red bag, red satchel, vera bradley red satchel, scentbird, refillible perfume, viktor and rolf, gigi ny date book, gigi ny agenda, smart water, up up up, rebecca minkoff leather pouch, initial leather pouch, portable iphone charger, back up iphone charger, ny, new york fashion week, mbfw, mercedes benz fashion week, what to bring to fashion week,missyonmadison, melissa tierney, vera bradley, nyfw, smartwater, nyfw survival guide, vera bradley red bag, red satchel, vera bradley red satchel, scentbird, refillible perfume, viktor and rolf, gigi ny date book, gigi ny agenda, smart water, up up up, rebecca minkoff leather pouch, initial leather pouch, portable iphone charger, back up iphone charger, ny, new york fashion week, mbfw, mercedes benz fashion week, what to bring to fashion week,

    A girls weekend is always a great way to get away, explore a new place and have some fun…especially some fun in the sun. This past weekend, Ali and I headed to Palm Springs to embrace the ‘Coachella‘ desert vibes, soak up some sun and of course hang in the pool with our fav friends…these fun inflatables duh! I have seen every blogger post photos with the inflatable swan or donut, so I found a few more of my favorites because hey the summer is still going strong and these babies need to be added to your pool party right? 😉
