It is not often that you find a little gem that is just too cute to put down in words! Last weekend we visited the Inn at Schoolhouse Creek in Mendocino, an amazing hotel located on the coastline of Northern California.

Last weekend we experienced the most romantic getaway along the Californian Coast line! We escaped the everyday life by staying at the Inn at Schoolhouse Creek & Spa, just 5 minutes away from the historic town Mendocino. After we drove all the way up on Highway One and stopped for oysters along the coast, we arrived at this amazing scenic Oceanside hotel in the afternoon. The innkeeper most kindly...

Ohhhh, how I love roses, champagne and birthdays!! They all came together last Saturday at The Ivy restaurant in West Hollywood. It is the most colourful restaurant I have ever been.

Grab your bag and go to Park Tavern in San Francisco. Last Sunday my husband and I went to Park Tavern for brunch to celebrate our three months anniversary. I know, I know..!

When I arrived in San Francisco, I was hoping to only see the houses we all remember from the populair show, Full House. However, I have to admit that it took me some time to discover the beautiful Victorian and Edwardian houses that are lined up on the hills painted in bright colours. Those colours actually enhance the architectural details of these buildings which have the appropriate name...
