Happy Sunday! Sadly, as of today, it really feels like the Fourth of July is over. We were celebrating up until last night at a July 4th party on the beach that my sister-in-law hosted! She did a wonderful job and a ton of fun was had by all! Some of our best friends from Los Angeles and Newport Beach came down to San Diego for the party so it was a blast celebrating with family and friends.
Last night’s party wasn’t the only party of the weekend though… Edwin turns 30 on Wednesday so I threw a little party for him in San Diego on Friday night! I had the party catered by a paella company, which was a huge hit with all the guests! They make the paella right there fresh for you during the party! I highly recommend it for parties. Overall, it was one of my favorite weekends of 2018!
Did everyone else have a wonderful weekend? I hope so! To cap off the first weekend of July, keep reading for my Weekend Reads, No. 70 complete with the best beaches up and down the East Coast, an interview with one of my favorite handbag designers, a mesmerizing morning routine, an eyelet top for $66, tips for how to do anything, an adorable summery plaid dress, and more!
