Hearst Castle

Second Stop...
The spectacular Hearst Castle! The Opulence and magnificent history of the Castle grounds are absolutley astounding.

William Hearst was a newspaper tycoon, cattle owner, and heir to one of the wealthiest men in the world. His father struck it rich during the California Gold rush, when he found not gold, but silver ore. As a child William Hearst gained inspiration when he and his young mother (19 to be exact!) traveled the world. He began collecting artwork, and by the age of his late 40s decided to build a home on the land he grew up in: The Hills of San Simeon. 28 years later, having faced seemingly insurmountable architectural obstacles, Hearst Castle was finished. Hearst originally referred to the estate as, "La Cuesta Encantada," meaning the enchanted hill.

 

 

Where Forest Meets the Sea

On the way to Big Sur, we stopped at a rest point on the side of the road. Pine trees covered the ground up to the cliffs that dropped down to the ocean. It was beautiful! I was wearing this beige lace maxi dress--I love the romantic, soft feel it gives me.

Road Trip!

I took a road trip this past week through the coastline of California! It was so much fun and the sights were spectacular!
Some of the places we visited included: Big Sur; McKay Falls and Pfiefer Beach, Hearst Castle, and The Channel Islands; Anacappa...

First Stop... Big Sur!

Wild Mushroom Pâté

I just made this really good 100% raw wild mushroom pâté from my Everyday Raw Express cookbook by Matthew Kenney. It's easy to make, delicious, and highly nutricious!

Origins

This week I had the wonderful opportunity of working with the amazingly talented young photographer, Raul Romo. I'm wearing a nude-toned jumper by LUSH. I loved how the earth tone of the suit blended with the atmosphere of the sand and rocks.

You can see more of Raul's amazing work on his Facebook or Tumblr site :)
