Justin's Surprise: Hot Air Balloon Ride

My fiance' asked me to pack for a surprise mini vacation.  I had no clue what to pack or what to wear, but packing cosmetics was much easier.  In my recent YouTube video I shared the contents of my travel makeup bag, in this blog post I want to share the surprise Justin had planned for us last weekend.

Justin and I visited random wineries for wine tasting.  
We've visited Napa and Santa Barbara, but it was our first time in Temecula.  


I wore a comfortable maxi dress from Kohls.
My outfit:
Halter Maxi Dress on sale now at Kohls for $25.00 here.
Similar maxi dresses can be found here and here.
Forever21 Bow Wedges similar here

We had an amazing weekend, but the big surprise was waking up at 5am in the next day for 
a hot air balloon ride! :)

  7. @swanprincess Thank you so much! I ordered a size XS. Kohl's clothing run really large so that XS fits well.
