{Mini Roadtrip to Carmel}

{Weekend Getaway}
My friends Kaisa & Brian tied the knot this weekend in Carmel with a simple and elegant beach wedding ceremony. I enjoyed the drive to Carmel (when I wasn't napping) because of the change in scenery, the two-lane roads framed by bare landscape of farmlands and rolling hillsides took me to a calm state of mind.
Out hotel in Monterey (15 minutes north of Carmel) was located right across from the Del Monte shopping center, so I made sure to do a little sweep through the center. Outfit of the Day is below as well as some snapshots of Stewart's Cove (Carmel), the beach where Kaisa and Brian were married!
