Guest Post: Dreaming of Big Sur

Hello all you lovely Lovely Clusters readers! I 'm Jackie of the blog Sweetie Pie Pumpkin Noodle, where I post daily about fun and fresh finds in interior design, fashion and DIY. Do come visit sometime!

Rachel so kindly asked if I would do a guest post for her while she was away, and of course I jumped at the chance to be over here on her wonderful blog. She mentioned she was going to be camping, and that got me dreaming of a warm and cozy fall trip to Big Sur, one of the most beautiful stretches of land and sea on the coast of California. I have vague memories of vacations there as a child, but am long overdue for a visit as an adult. When I think of Big Sur, images of rocky cliffs, icy waves and mist-filled redwood groves fill my mind. Not to mention the gorgeous luxury resorts scattered along the region! Which then brings to mind my new fall style obsession: "Glamping". Mix equal parts rugged (think flannels, cargos, boots) with glam (think glimmer, dresses and jewels) and there you have the fall fashion formula!

If you won't be doing any luxury camping this fall, why not bring the fun to you with a Jonathan Adler "Big Sur" candle and by baking these delicious sounding smores cupcakes!

Ahhh, yes-that will do the trick! I hope you enjoyed this little dose of fall inspiration as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Thank you Rachel for having me over!
