christmas in malibu

location: Malibu, California

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, as Patrick and I did! We spent a non-traditional Christmas vacation soaking up the wonderful weather here in Malibu. It was such a relaxing time to spend with each other, our new puppy, and family. 

We stayed in a cute cabin at the top of the Malibu mountains where you could see the entire skyline. There are so many Airbnbs to choose from to escape the city. We took Finley on walks to basque in the beauty of the serene view of the mountains and ocean in front of us. It was truly a humbling sight and was the perfect ingredient for a relaxing holiday. 

We spent the morning horseback riding through windy trails on the Malibu mountains. It was such a unique experience to see the ocean and nature on horseback rather than just hiking. Would highly recommend as a date, family outing, or birthday bash! We then went to a wine tasting and lunch to complete the most perfect day. 

I wore this comfortable tan sweater with a high neck and detail ties on the sides. It was perfect for a warmish winter day exploring Malibu. I choose these black jeans to mix it up a bit from my go-to jean look. Paired with these adorable ankle riding boots, and I was ready to ride.
