Scenes From Our Weekend

Hello lovelies! Happy Tuesday. We’re jumping back into things… kind of… and wanted to share some pics from the weekend. I (that would be Karrie) flew up to Monterey for the weekend to see my baby brother graduate from school. My Lord, is it pretty up there.

And how cute is my little brother?!

After the graduation ceremony we shed our fancy duds (well, if you wanna call my Target dress fancy…) and headed to Garland Ranch in Carmel Valley:

Literally one of the coolest places I’ve ever hiked. Garland Ranch in Carmel Valley | Scenes From Our Weekend | Covet Living

And then for dinner we headed to one of the most gorgeous places on the planet – Big Sur. Only 25 minutes away (!) from where my brother lives, we ate at Rocky Point Restaurant, which I HIGHLY recommend for the views:

In fact, I highly recommend the whole Big Sur/Carmel/Monterey area for a vacay. It has an absolutely beautiful spot at every turn, and the people there are SO nice.

A few hours South, Steph was doin’ her thang, as per usual.

Ya know, with her pre-breakfast surfing lesson:

Here’s Coach Todd (!) Single-handedly teaching Steph to paddle out, push up, pop up, and dodge sharks:

The gift that keeps on giving = this black and white Zara dress we picked up two years ago, and that still passes back and forth between our closets:

Scenes From Our Weekend | Covet Living

Hello darlings! Happy Tuesday. This past weekend we were lucky enough to have our third bestie, Melissa, in LA for werk and it was perfect, cause she got to stay at my crib in Santa Monica, and the three of us spent hours doing what we do best: being scrubs on the couch just catching up, celebrating her birthday out at a freaking delicious restaurant in LA, and honestly, just being in each other’s presence. Which, when you live on opposite sides of the country, totally becomes enough, amiright?

PS, I will say the only drawback to having these two at our crib is having to let them borrow your only apartment gate key:

Here are some scenes from our time together!

Post Fluffernutter slobfest… whoops

The next day we got up for a 10 mile hike, followed by a brisk swim in the ocean.

Just kidding, we woke up and went to brunch.

After brunch, on our way to dropping Melissa off at the airport, we stopped by Covet Living Casa to show her the updated place (ignore the gross exterior… that’ll be Phase 2):

And AFTER we dropped her off, Steph and I came back to the Casa to get to work and pick out the paint for the walls:

Afterwards we met up with our girl Michelle and checked out Karrie’s new back yard (give or take a mile and a half): the beach in Playa del Rey. Not too shabby.

Then it was home to these two… We’re not sure if they’re brothers or boyfriends, but we’re PRETTY sure Kilroy (left) takes full advantage of being left home alone with GusGus (right). #doggylube

And well, we ended the night with THIS. Masks, ice cream, sweatpants, and probably a movie on the TV that Steph fell asleep to within two minutes of watching. And that’s how we do.

Have a great Tuesday, friends!
