bella dahl: lo's style file

One of my all time favorite memories from 2015 was the beautiful day-shoot in Malibu sporting the most lovely Bella Dahl resort collection. We snapped at five of my favorite places in this beachy wonderland that each carry a specific meaning to me. One spot was the first place Jason and I went running on the beach when we started dating. Can you guess which one?I could not be more excited to share this fun collab to you! I am in loveee with this brand. The super soft textures, the cozy yet perfect fits, and the natural Cali vibe suits my fancy.

four seasons staycation

Is anyone else freaking out that March has already come and gone?! March was a big month for me - one of the reasons being, last weekend Michael and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. We also just closed on a house so going somewhere far wasn't really the best option for us right now, so we had the privilege of doing a staycation at The Four Seasons last weekend! In case you've been curious about The Four Seasons, or are just looking for an amazing place in Dallas to stay, I'm going to give you a little peek into our weekend!First of all, the resort is absolutely beautiful. It's on one of the most well-known golf courses in Texas, and truly makes you feel like you've escaped Dallas into somewhere far away and beautiful. But everything on the inside of the hotel is equally as stunning - from the beautiful lobby filled with fresh flowers, to the immaculate rooms. We were blown away! (Another bonus about the room - the bed was probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in. And I'm a bit of a bed snob). Another thing that really blew me away about this resort was the incredible service. When we checked in, the concierge already knew we were there for our one year anniversary and showed us so much kindness + was super helpful. When we got to our villa, we were surprised with a bottle of champagne & chocolate covered strawberries, with "happy anniversary" spelled out in chocolate! The first morning we woke up, we enjoyed an amazing breakfast at Cafe on the Green. Everything on the menu looked amazing, but we decided to try out the breakfast buffet because it just looked WAY to good to pass up! The buffet seriously had everything your heart could desire- from fresh fruit, to coconut quinoa, to freshly made breads and croissants. There was also someone there to make a custom-made omelet or any type of eggs. My husband also enjoyed their "juice of the day" which was some type of blend of banana, pineapple, and strawberry juice! So fresh and so yummy. After breakfast we enjoyed the rest of our morning (and into the afternoon!) at the amazing Four Seasons Spa. It truly felt like we were in another world, and if you stay at this hotel, you must treat yourself to one of their spa treatments! My husband and I had scheduled a couples massage, but before the massage you get to enjoy all of the spa facilities. You are brought into the spa and given a locker with a clean robe. Following this, you can enjoy the sauna, steam room, hot tub, or cool plunge pool. There are also cool towels and cucumbers for you to use, as well as peach tea, lemon water, or cucumber water. I seriously could live there. After enjoying the facilities for a while, our massage therapists came and got us for our 50-minute couples massage. Hands down, the best massage I have ever had! I don't think I've ever felt so relaxed in my life.That evening, we enjoyed such a special & romantic dinner at Cafe on the Green. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a wonderful view of the golf course. But, the food is equally amazing. Upon being seated, our waitress brought us complimentary champagne to say "Happy Anniversary" from the hotel, which was so yummy! Next we ordered the salumi plate, which was the perfect appetizer to snack on while we enjoyed our champagne. We both ordered the filet for dinner and cleaned our plates. If you come here for dinner, I beg you, do not skip out on dessert! I got the banana pudding tower for dessert and Michael got a molten cake that was filled with nutella and topped with ice cream. We were in dessert heaven! We truly had such a beautiful weekend at Four Seasons and I highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a romantic getaway, or even a fun girls weekend! The staff is so friendly and treats you so well. Our room alone was absolutely perfect. The pool feels like you're in a tropical oasis and the spa is one of the most relaxing experiences you'll ever have! Thank you to the Four Seasons for making our weekend so special!
