Hi fam,
We’re heading to San Francisco and Carmel-by-the-Sea next week, and I’m deep in outfit planning mode, aka the most chaotic yet fun part of any trip prep. I just picked up a pair of New Balance 530s for all the walking we’ll be doing, and let me tell you: they feel like clouds.
Like, barely-there, all-day-comfort, throw-them-on-with-dresses-or-jeans kind of amazing. Highly recommend if you're after that cute-but-functional travel shoe.
Speaking of travel…
If 30A is on your mind (or on your Pinterest board), I have a full guide on the blog that’s made for you. Whether you're trying to figure out which beach town fits your vibe or just want to avoid wasting time hopping between average restaurants, this post is packed with all the insider recs from our weekend getaway.
Think:
– hidden beach spots
– the best places to eat (with kids or without!)
– what not to miss if you're short on time
Planning a trip to 30A can be overwhelming, but with this guide, it doesn’t have to be.
More to come from the West Coast next week - I’ll keep you posted (and yes, there will be outfit pics).
Until next time,
Fariha
Here's what I've been up to lately.
