My New Years Visit To Coronado And La Jolla

My New Years Visit To Coronado And La Jolla

As I mentioned in my blog story earlier this week, we had a quick getaway to San Diego last weekend for New Years.  I talked about what we did the first day and for New Year’s Eve and what I wore.

Friday was New Year’s Day, which was a beautiful sunny day, so we decided to drive over to the Hotel Del Coronado and spend a day enjoying the sights and take a walk by the beach while doing a photo shoot for the blog.

The Hotel Del Coronado is a wonderful historic beachfront hotel in the city of Coronado, just across the San Diego Bay from downtown San Diego.  It is a Victorian hotel built in 1887, and one of America’s largest wooden buildings. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.  Since then the resort has become a living legend, visited by celebrities, dignitaries and even some U.S. presidents.  It was even a movie location for the 1959 “Some Like it Hot” starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

Speaking of movies, I am really looking forward to the Golden Globes this Sunday and will be watching the fashions very closely and hoping some of my favorite movies and actors win awards. Anyway getting back to the Hotel Del Coronado, we had a lovely time walking around, having coffee and taking photos. I was very surprised  that they actually had an ice skating ring right in front of the beach, which looked like a lot of fun; So California! It was a really nice day out and we ended up having dinner at Il Forniao over by the ferry landing on Coronado Island with stunning views of Downtown San Diego across the bay which was so nice.

For my outfit I decided to style our Mist faux suede and fur vest for a second time.  You first saw this vest styled here.  This time I wore it with my skinny jeans, cream sweater and one of our best selling tassel scarves.  You can purchase the vest here and the scarf here.

The next day it was time to head back home to Los Angeles, but not before a stop in La Jolla beach for lunch. I had been to La Jolla a few times and always loved it.  It is known as the “The Jewel” of San Diego, since it features so many luxury homes, fine dinning and upscale shopping.  But the real jewels of La Jolla are its beaches, cliffs and coves which are breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful.  We had a delicious late lunch at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood with amazing views of the cove and the beach.  It was a great way to end our trip.

I have included a few pictures of my Saturday “La Jolla”outfit at the end below.  I wore the same skinny jeans, grey sweater, Zara jacket and another one of our best selling scarves.  You can purchase the scarf here.

Have you been to the Hotel Del Coronado or La Jolla and what do you think of my look?

    Your photos are all out of focus,impossible to see anything clearly,but I am glad you had a good Time!!

      Hi Jan,
      The backgrounds for the photos are supposed to be blurred, it a photography technique to show the main image better. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting.

      Not out of focus; this is the way many advertising shoots are done to highlight the outfit and not the background.

        Thank you Phyllis, you are absolutely right on the point 🙂

    I’ve never stayed at the Coronado but have visited. It certainly is nice. All of you pictures are great. The last one looks almost unreal. Like you were photo shopped in. Your outfit choices are always spot on with whatever activity you’re enjoying. The soft beige and taupes give off an almost misty quality. Perfect for a beach front ensemble. Oh IL Fornaio, love their food. We just dined at their Pasadena location on New Years Day.

    I love this! We went to San Diego many many years ago and I could bite myself because we didn’t visit the Del Coronado. And just recently we watched Some like it Hot, it’s such a great location. You look absolutely fabulous Nora. Love, Kirsten xx
