COOL KIDS: Packing for Cali
We are heading to California on vacation next week and I am counting down the days. California holds a very special place in my heart: I lived there for five amazing years, my husband and I got engaged there, and the overall California lifestyle is forever embedded in my DNA.
I am so excited to share Cali with my kids and show them all of my favorites places!! No doubt they will fall in love with the beaches, endless sunshine, and the whole laid back California vibe.
When it comes to packing, my general rule is to stick with a overall style and color palette so everything can mix and match. This makes it very easy for my boys to get dressed each day without Mom's help. I always pack comfy sneakers and a statement sweatshirt to layer over any outfit.
I love how each of my boys has there own unique style. It makes it a lot of fun to pack for them. Watch out Cali, here we come!!!
Griffin, the total hipster, prefers skinny jeans, retro tees, and sneakers. He's never complete without a touch of camo, a Dirt & Noise classic. He's going to fit in perfectly on Abbott Kinney! Speaking of Abbott Kinney... I can't wait to hit Aviator Nation to pick up some cool new goodies. Oh no, I almost forgot the ipad!!! We are definetly not flying six hours without it.
Cooper, my skater boy, is all about black and white, graphic prints, and extreme shapes, which is fitting for this little daredevil. He loves to get attention and dresses accordingly. You will see this one coming from far away! He is going to have a blast skateboarding at the Venice Skate Park. He will never want to leave.
Not sure if Cali is ready for these two!!!
