Sunset Duffy Cruise w/ ARGAUX

Recently, Beijos hosted us and our friends, Karima from A Note On Style, Kristin from Garage Collective and everyone’s favorite friends of ours, sommeliers, Arden and Margaux from Argaux, who did wine tasting and pairings on the cutest duffy from Voyager Rentals.

This time of year is absolutely stunning at sunset. I’ll never forget or take for granted when I moved in with my now husband, we got an oceanfront place in October and the sunsets are just breathtaking. So, when Jacquelyn and Leah invited us for a sunset duffy cruise, we were totally in and knew just the crew to make it a fun night on the water.

Arden and Margaux never disappoint. We love their service of a small group of girls wine tasting. They provided the tastiest charcuterie platter that not only tasted great but looked really pretty on the table. They gave us pairing after pairing with the most interesting stories behind each wine. It was so fun and sophisticated with the masters at work educating us one sip at a time. We highly recommend booking them for this service.

Kristin is from Laguna and has the cutest home store with wares that will give you sticker shock in a good way. You have to check her out. We will absolutely do a feature on her soon so you can see for yourself but she styled out our duffy with the cutest pillows and clutches for us to wear including planters that look just like the leather wrapped from Jenni Kayne for a fraction of the price! Great for holiday gift giving season.

Karima is always so lovely to be around. She is a true lady and we at AOBF appreciate that! She is forever graceful and stylish and what she has to add to the conversation always improves upon the space. I just love her and you can follow her here.

Per usual, Jacquelyn and Leah really made things come together with the cutest papers and sayings making it feel extra fun and beautiful flowers from Petals and Pops, one of our favorite local flower shops. They really are the best at styling any event, large or small, into a memorable and Instagram-worthy get together!!

LuAnn McElRoy is just the sweetest. She also happens to be my husband’s ex girlfriend, (who I love). We take her duffy boats out on a regular basis because they are so easy to work with and they’re so cute!! She was especially accommodating for us because she had the boat ready to go the same day she gave birth to baby Jude! Now, that’s what we call customer service:) Congratulations to Lu and thank you for the duffy cruise!!! XX
