Last week we headed down to San Diego for a Father's Day Getaway!
I was so excited to stay at San Diego's newest
The Guild Hotel!
"The Most Exciting Hotels Opening In The U.S. In 2019" - Forbes
This hotel has been on my radar for over a yearwaiting for it's grand opening this month.
The building was built in 1924as a YMCA for the Army and Navy.
It has been restored beautifullywith a perfect balance of respect for it's former usewith a huge dose of modern sophistication and hipness!
I couldn't wait to check inand check out the fabulous spaces!
My favorite by farthe outside dining spacesfor their
Luca Restaurant!
How absolutely striking are the stripes!
The hotel was a design project of Sormeh Rienne.She kept all of the spaces open and freshwith big doses of a sophisticated glamour.This velvet used perfectly constrained.
All the details are fresh and moderndown to the flower arrangements!!
I purposely wore a bright color palette because I knew it would play perfectly with the black and white outdoor stripes!
I even reworked one of my favorite brooch necklaces for my new dress.I added another row of brooches with pieces that were my Mother's.I just love an ensemble that comes perfectly together!
We started with a cocktail and appetizers at
The Luca Bar.
They were served in Terracotta bowlsthat came with with a steaming trail os liquid nitrogen.Talk about a dramatic presentation!Just wish I had my phone out in time!
We had their King Suite.The room was about 350 square feet.It too was chicly appointed.Though not a lavish spaceI still think it's a great value for the area.
I was so drawn to this hanging closetI am really wanting one at home.Sormeh Rienne has so many custom designs for the spaces.She turned what was in it's last reincarnationa youth hostelinto a room that is now an urban oasis!
the bath rooms also got chic and luxurious makeovers!They felt spacious and had the best natural lighting!I just loved how my new shell designs looked on the counter!
After a quick change we were off to celebrate Father's Day!
We first met up with Hunter and Meganand Lenny at
10 Barrel Brewery.
No surprise I'm always trying to get in all the baby Lenny time in I canwhen we are in San Diego!
We also wanted to help Hunter celebrate his very First Father's Day!
Nothing like seeing your own childrenwith children of their ownto warm a momma's heart!
Jeff was a very Happy Pop Pop!His very first Pop Pop Day!
Ellis and Elliot joined the four of us for dinner atOne Door North
for our family celebration of Jeff.
The restaurant has a camping theme throughout.If your very lucky you can even dine inside one of their canvas tents!
They bring the camping theme all the way home withso'mores table side!
Jeff and I ended our night at
Waterfront
which is an old school dive bar in Little Italy.It's said to have the oldest liquor license in San Diego!It's been open since 1933!
Jeff and I might frequent a whole lot of chic, beautiful destinationsbut we still have big love for classic, old school dive bars!
We finished our trip the next daywith a walking the city day.
My fuschia attire was set off beautifully and functionallywith my Mexican serape backpack!
Our morning destination was
Morning Glory
also in Little Italy.
A fabulous and new breakfast eatery!
It's been called a cross between Disneyland and Madonna Innand I couldn't agree more about the descriptionother than the food was far superior than either.
It was our second time thereand I was still just as tickled with all of the detailsbig and small!
Even the verbiage on the menu was entertaining!
I couldn't resist ordering the Millennial Tears!
Talk about a clever coffee presentation!
Everywhere you look there is fun and festive detaildown to the fabulous Dickie overall!
So my two newest San Diego finds this tripare definitely
