Santa Barbara, what a beautiful place.  I wish I would have been able to explore it a little more, but now that leaves me with an excuse to go back. My fiance and I were invited to a wedding at the Bacara Resort this February. I have a thing for outdoor hotels, I actually prefer them over high-rise hotels.  There is something about them that makes it feel more like a vacation. Everything from the rooms to the bloody mary’s were incredible at Bacara. The wedding itself was lovely. Now that I am engaged and planning my own, it’s nice to be able to go to a wedding that is wonderfully done and take away ideas that I want to incorporate into my own special day. One thing that I love about being invited to a wedding….having an excuse to get a new dress! This time around I wanted to get something that I would be able to wear again.  I hate buying a dress and only being able to wear it a couple times throughout my life. One, I feel like that’s a waste of a purchase, and two, I don’t have the bank account for that.  I always feel so much better about a purchase when I know that it will get great use. When I stumbled across this Stone Cold Fox dress on sale, I knew I had to have it.  Stone Cold Fox creates very classic, bohemian-esc, ladylike pieces. Pieces that you will have and be able to wear time and time again. This dress ended up fitting with the vibe of the resort perfectly. It was super comfortable, and received many compliments. I can’t wait to whip it out this spring with some cute Chanel espadrilles on my feet. Stone Cold Fox has beautiful pieces on sale right now on Revolve.  YOU’RE WELCOME.
