California - Part 2

Hello lovelies! I'm going to keep this sweet and short, because I'm swamped with many custom orders, sales, packing, ordering new supplies, and freelance work. Also, I'm very excited about my new collection that I can't wait to reveal!  Here are some photos from my California trip to inspire you for your next vacation perhaps:)
1. Malibu, CA - peaceful view and delicious seafood.
Chardonnay from local winery delicious

Old Mission at Santa Barbara, CA 
2. Santa Barbara, CA- Getting away this fall season? I would love to return to Santa Barbara one more time.... the lovely weather, art, wine, spanish architecture are endless sources of inspiration.  I visited the local Santa Barbara Museum and was happy surprised by lovely contemporary collection of Mark Chagall, but unfortunately that the only on room you not allow to take photos)



What is your dream destination? I would love to travel to Europe with this nice blouse (map of Paris)  I and my friend found them in Anthropology... I see myself strolling through the airport and heading to Europe.... love that idea:)
A girl should dream ... right?

And last but not least, here is a new watercolor illustration I completed last week inspired by my summer trips. More in my store this week. So, go ahead and dream of your next vacation and make it happen! My bags are always packed and ready to go!

with love,
Lana

  9. California must be wonderful! It seems like you had a great time.
    Europe is fun, but make sure to visit some of the places that are less known to get the real Europe feel. After all, Amsterdam is not like the rest of the Netherlands, and Paris is not like the rest of France ;)
    For me, my dream destination has been Japan for a long time :)

    1. My husband visited Japan a few years ago and he adored all experiences! He actually think that Russia and Japan has a lot of similar cultural trends! I would love to schedule my next trip to a southern France and really explore the less known places:)
