New Beginning: Welcome 2014

Hi everyone, Happy New Year! Here's my first post of 2014, super exciting!

2013 was filled with so much up and down -- definitely a lot of positives, which includes starting my C&S blog. It's always a blessing to be able to do what you love -- I love writing/documenting and style/beauty/fashion -- so it's been truly a fun ride blogging about what I enjoy so much.

Here's a glimpse at my relaxing weekend in San Diego. What a way to kick off 2014 with a bit of R&R. So rested and ready to take on what 2014 has to offer. My new year's resolution: take risks and finish what I start. I have the tendency to take on various projects but notoriously never finish =) Hence, the "finish what I start." 

What are your new year's resolutions? Please submit in comments below or email me directly on topics you'd like to see me cover this year.

cheers, julie

Beautiful lobby @ Park Hyatt Aviara in San Diego. One of my favorite go to spots for a quick weekend getaway!
Delicious dessert @ Argyle Steak House -- it's called "My Favorite Chocolate Cake" -- it's easily become my fave choco cake! Mmm
