we will never be royal

Wearing C. by Christing C. and my new favourite boots courtesy of Asos.

This week has left little breathing space, between running around the rainy city to fulfil our jam packed schedule and attempting to keep sleepy jet lag behaviour at bay. Jumping head first into the event circuit is a little daunting, but keeping occupied and looking forward to an exciting December is giving me just enough energy to get me through until a 10pm bedtime. Early I know. Off to fit a work out into my morning.

empire state of mind

Sorry for disappearing. We had a quickie, jam packed trip to NYC which ended with a 16 hour flight home and me sleeping for about 3 days straight. Monday is looming so I promise to be back to my productive self. The end of a month long, carefree trip is hard to shake from your bones, makes me want to take things just a little less seriously. Catching up with old friends and seeing myself in new light made even more clear the changes that have taken place in the last few years. I’m not quite the same, not as frivolous, but definitely more sure of who I am. It’s been easier to tune out the negative and revel in all that I have to be thankful about in my life. The world around you will always have their own opinions about your life and how you should live it, despite barely knowing who you are today, but you don’t always have to listen. Just smile, nod, and have another glass of champagne 😉

yachts, pools, and that sort of thing

C. by Christing C. Ibiza Dress

Florida has induced some lazy behaviour and the boy and I have done nothing more than lounge poolside, indulging in cocktails, and spending quality time with Dad. After a long road trip and a few questionable motel stays, it was nice to settle into the luxuirous W Ft Lauderdale for a bit of pampering. Waking up for sunrises, and catching up with old friends is just a little extra icing on the cake. Heading to NYC soon, but not before one more top up of my now very deep tan.

Almost three weeks into our days on the road. Twisting through unknown streets, exploring bucket list worthy landmarks, and gorging on food that can only be described as heaven. It’s important to feel lucky and the boy and I are soaking up every carefree moment. We are pausing to enjoy each laughter filled smile, unexpected kiss, and warming ray of sunshine. Quick weekend getaways may never be enough again. The best type of trips are those you can afford to waste time worth wasting. Off to have our last night in San Francisco before escaping to Florida tomorrow.

7 for all Mankind blouse

Topshop hat, C. by Christing C. skirt.

Finding perfect wardrobe staples is a little like winning the lottery, the fashion lottery I guess. I’m obsessed with white blouses and am always stocking up on those with just the right amount of sleeve and sheer factor. Locating one with an ideal fit, material, and details can be impossible, which is why I instantly fell for this 7 for All Mankind one when I spotted it in their IFC shop. Goes with denim or leather shorts on a sunny afternoon and can be easily paired with a sequin skirt and heels for a few cocktails. I plan on over wearing this all Autumn with leather jackets, knitted cardigans, and my favourite denim shorts.

on the pacific coast

C. by Christing C. Ledbury Vest.

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

written by ChristingC

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

written by ChristingC

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.

on the road

written by ChristingC

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!
