We took the often adrenaline spiking drive along the Pacific Coast Highway and have landed in San Francisico.  I am becoming more addicted to being ocean adjacent, and am even growing accustomed to the slightly freezing breeze that accompanies this welcoming State.  It has been awhile since I’ve been in the USA without dwelling in a big city, and am finding small towns, minuscule diners, and early closing hours more foreign by day. Glad to be playing in a bustling city again and treating my taste buds and closet to what is on offer. 
Get my new favourite layering piece here.  This white vest has gotten me through every chilly evening and is even light enough to wear in sunny weather when you want to partake in Autumn dress up.

not afraid to close my eyes

 Wearing C. by Christing C. Oxford Pleated Skirt, Sloane Square Blazer, and Malibu Silk Tank.

We are departing LA today and embarking on the long drive down the Pacific Coast Highway, heading north towards San Francisco.  Not one hotel has been booked, only a single compact car, and a trunk and backseat stuffed with clothes.  A slight route and a few stops have been haphazardly mapped out, but nothing is mandatory.  I’m revelling in this spontaneous trip, which is heaven for a planning phobic like myself.  I have forgotten meetings, spin classes, RSVP’s, champagne and catered food, and air kissing at events ever existed.  It’s nice to take a quickie break from reality and indulge in fat inducing food, long drives, singing along to the radio, and hours of gazing at one spectacular scene after the next.  I’ll keep you guys updated on the road!

forty-eight hour extension

 C. by Christing C. Malibu Silk Tank in Black and Seattle Plaid Short.  All coming soon to Christing C.
 Being a beach bum is just too good to give up, so we are extending the San Diego leg of our trip for two days.  The perks of being such last minute people means we didn’t really have our stay in the next few stops booked anyway which made it pretty easy to not show up.  Our method of driving around until the best deal shows up is turning out to be a productive method and spontaneity makes the absolute best road trips anyway.  Can’t wait for even more fish tacos and sunshine.  More later.

First post from Cali.  We have just embarked on our one month trip and have already jammed plenty of activities into each hour of the day.  Extreme jet lag has allowed us to wake with the sun each morning and feast on typical diner food with the early birds.  The boy has become acquainted with driving once again and we have cruised around Southern California, revelling in the insanely consistent bright blue skies.  It was the first time I have set foot in Palm Springs since my junior high school days but we instantly fell in love with the retro and trendy Ace Hotel.  Celebrating a beautiful wedding and seeing a dear friend after two years made the perfect first weekend away.  We are now soaking up sun and sand in the chilled San Diego beach front and contemplating extending this beach bum segment of our stay.  Off to rent vintage bikes and snack on shrimp tacos.  More soon!

the last hour

Topshop hat and Asos boots.  Dress coming soon to Christing C.

The boy and I had a solitary hour free before heading to Pisa Airport.  We sprinted to the town centre only to discover the leaning tower is nowhere near their very convenient train station.  Luckily we were content to drown our minor dissapointment in a final pizza and pasta before departing Italy, and utilising the wifi in a classically pretty European square.  Our personalities always lean towards last minute travel plans and spur of the moment bookings.  It’s the only way we come across unexpected surprises and spontaneous excursions.  Not everything goes smoothly and we almost always encounter obstacles but it’s all part of the experience.

summer with fashion hedonism: positano and capri

Dresses are coming soon to Christing C.

Winding through the cliff adjacent road towards our destination was both a frightening and captivating experience.  The boy and I descended upon a picture perfect postcard where bright quaint buildings balance on cliffs encased in bright blues skies.  We only had a few days, but spent every moment soaking up warm inviting sunshine, dipping into ice cool crystal clear water, consuming fresh octopus salad and sparkling carafes of prosecco, taking time to explore winding stairwells that led to slices of heaven, capturing the sunset from our quiet balcony, and a few hours traipsing around the beauty that is Capri.  Our favourite new beach destination by far.  Already carefully mapping our return to the Amalfi Coast.

summer with fashion hedonism: tuscan dreams

written by ChristingC
Dress by Alice Temperley.
June is here and it seems this year is a lucky one for my friends and family.  Lets say many of our close ones have been tying the knot in 2013 and the boy and I are definitely partial to celebrating with them all.  This past week we traipsed around beautiful Italy and ended the journey with a magical wedding set amidst a dreamy Tuscan castle.  Think mazes created of tall hedges, generous displays of rose petal strewn walk ways, winding historic stairwells leading to daydream worthy chambers, rustic terraces bathed in Tuscan sun, and a romantic dining room serving up delicious Italian fare.   The boy and I were completely enchanted by the blissful setting and made vows to return for a week long getaway upon our next trip.  

So many more Italy photo diaries to share this week so stay tuned!!
