One of the biggest selling points on moving to Los Angeles was proximity to the ocean. On Saturday my husband and I took an impromptu trip to Malibu. I wore a bandeau top from Pily Q, an old denim skirt from Madewell and my patent leather heels from Carlo Pazolini. I call them old lady shoes because they feel prim and proper and like something a cooler than average librarian might wear.

We had planned to have lunch at Malibu Farm but when we saw the line we opted for Malibu Pier Restaurant instead. I tried the Organic Malibu Burger and the Crab Cobb, both were delicious. They also have a great selection of non-alcoholic cocktails which were yummy and refreshing.
