POV: Living out my ultimate Nancy Meyers dreams in POV: Living out my ultimate Nancy Meyers dreams in Montecito 🕊️✨ Have you been? I 1000% see why Oprah, Meghan & Harry call this slice of heaven home — I’m ready to get a summer place here too! 🏡🌸

If you’re planning a Montecito getaway (or just dreaming of one!), these gluten-free & dog-friendly spots were highlights:

🍴 Lilac Patisserie — 100% gluten-free bakery + café in Montecito and Santa Barbara. The egg sandwich on brioche = life-changing. Don’t miss their Arnold Palmers too! 🍋

🛍️ Coast Village Road — After Lilac, stroll the charming shops along Coast Village Road. So dreamy!

🏖️ Butterfly Beach — Swim, surf, or just soak up the views at Montecito’s most iconic beach. Bonus: leashed pups are welcome too. 🐾

🍕 Bettina — A pink-lover’s dream with pink tables + umbrellas. Their gluten-free pizzas and salads = chef’s kiss.

🌈 Chromatic Gate — Snap the perfect colorful shot near East Beach! 🎨

We stayed at the dog-friendly hotel The Steward, Santa Barbara and it was lovely, low key & easy with Odee. 🤍 

Montecito and Santa Barbara have so many dreamy hotels I’ve bookmarked for future trips — but I’d love to hear your favorites too! ✈️✨

Already plotting my return... Where are your favorite Montecito or Santa Barbara spots? Drop your recs below! 💬

Seriously though, that Palm Springs light. Makes everyone look 10 years younger. Not to mention every backdrop looks like a movie set 🤩 PS I love you 💛

Outfit Details
I scooped up this limited edition Hill House dress after seeing their founder Nellie wear a longer version of it to the Met Ball last year. The color & movement are 🤩🤩🤩

This color in tulle is no longer available in several sizes BUT it is in other gorgeous hues, including powder blue and classic black and navy! Swoon. Excellent as a wedding guest dress.

It’s also available in the same tomato red color & style in a cotton eyelet daisy fabric. 

Just comment SHOP & I’ll DM you the same style in my favorite current fabrics plus my accessories… 

Nap Dress Nation
This is now my third Nap Dress. Are you a member of #napdressnation ? 

I feel like this brand has a big East Coast following but not as much on the West Coast (yet!). Or am I mistaken? They’re ideal for CA weather! ☀️ 

Come West, HH friends! Palm Springs would love to have you. 🦩
