CUT OUT SWIMSUIT (OLD, LOVE THIS, THIS & THIS) || GOLD EARRINGS || GOLD RIM SUNGLASSES ||
With the sweltering heat in Los Angeles keeping us indoors the better part of the last month we decided to to a little staycation in our favorite Southern California beach town: Newport Beach.
We stayed at the gorgeous Balboa Bay Resort which is right on the bay so you have stunning views of the water and marina l – if you don’t own one of these enviable yachts you can still test your sea legs and rent out a Duffy to sail around the harbour. Some restaurants have docks so you can pull up from your boat and dine.

Kudos to the sweet bartender who made this perfect pre-dinner margarita at A+O located on the main floor of the hotel – it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sunset before indulging in an amazing meal.

This view of the bay never got old – we loved sipping wine here after our day at the beach and having coffee while the sun came up. It was also great for people watching – the kind of people who like to jet ski, kayak or hang out on their yachts.
Cooling down by the pool while I await an afternoon cocktail from the Oasis Bar – the luxury resort ambience here is very relaxing – we returned here after dinner with our friends to enjoy some wine, it was quiet and perfect for conversation.
The three boys In the middle of the photo belong to us and our close friends who live nearby. The beaches here are expansive and never get too crowded – the water was particularly warm that day, the boys spent the afternoon boogie boarding and we all went for a dip.
Is there anything better than lounging around a gorgeous hotel room in a fluffy bathrobe and ordering room service? The breakfast menu at Balboa Bay is particularly delicious with Lemon ricotta pancakes, avocado toast & Huevos Rancheros – all my favorites!
If you live in the Los Angeles area or are planning to visit I highly recommend visiting the Balboa Bay Resort (click here to book) – you’ll come away feeling like you were on a fabulous exotic vacation.
Have a great weekend lovelies! xoxo ~Zia
