I’m Officially Sold on “California Cool”—6 Things I’m Buying

Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows that I’ll take any excuse to go on a vacation. Two weeks doesn’t pass without my friends seeing me post from another city or country that I had been dying to explore. A place that has been on my list for some time now just so happens to be Napa Valley. Take a drive outside of San Francisco and you’ll find yourself in what I would consider a bit of an underrated luxury travel destination.

When I first started planning my outfits for this trip, black-tie attire was included in my suitcase, but after some research on the typical attire in Napa, I realized it’s the land of “California cool.” Casual is the preferred dress code, as people there love to wear sweaters, jeans, and laid-back dresses. As I attempted to tone down my glamorous persona for a bit more of a chill wardrobe, I realized that I could get used to this lifestyle. While I was still one of the more overdressed people around me, it felt good to wear more relaxed clothing. My shopping cart is now filled to the brim with casual-cool things inspired by Cali. So below, as told through my outfits on this trip, you’ll find the six pieces I’m buying after my trip out West.
