VL TRAVEL: OJAI CALIFORNIA

VL TRAVEL: OJAI CALIFORNIA

After a few particularly busy weeks ( we're finalizing a big trip coming up in the next 2 weeks, getting ready for Fashion Month in September, and of course working on new content for VivaLuxury ), Emil and I reached a tipping point and decided that we needed to leave the hustle and bustle of LA for a little while.

We didn't want to travel somewhere far, and after considering a few of our all time favorites like Laguna Beach ( see our recent adventures here ) and Santa Barbara ( check out a recent post on our favorite SB wineries here ), we decided to try something new and headed to Ojai.

Just a quick drive from LA, we fell in love with Ojai the moment we saw it! The city is absolutely gorgeous, yet I think what we enjoyed about Ojai the most is the multitude of activities it offers like hiking, biking, dining, wine tasting and shopping of course! :) So, if you're considering a trip to Ojai, I definitely recommend it! There is so much to do and see, you won't be disappointed!

GIRLFRIEND JEANS & PRETTY TILE MOMENTS

GIRLFRIEND JEANS & PRETTY TILE MOMENTS

The pair of jeans I am sporting in today's post is the end result of a very long search for that elusive perfect-fitting pair of girlfriend jeans. Why am I so obsessed with this particular pair? Well, first of all, I love the idea of girlfriend jeans in general. Not quite as loose fitting as boyfriend jeans, but also not as tight as skinnies, basically, girlfriend jeans are a fine example of a perfect balance between the two fits.

In the past, I've been able to find a pair that fits right or a pair that has just the right amount of distressing, but I've never been able to find a pair that combines all of the above. Well, up until now that is:)

For today's look I paired them with a cute embroidered Alexis top and my go-to shoe at the moment - Gianvito Rossi sandals. But I also love the way they pair with a more casual top ( like the one I'm wearing in this post ) and pretty espadrilles ( obsessed with this pair at the moment ). Basically they are a perfect pair of jeans to dress up or down, and I don't know about you guys, but I definitely love being able to wear my favorites in a variety of different ways!
