Coronado Casual

I just returned from spending a few days down in Coronado, an island barely off the coast of San Diego that is connected to the Downtown area of the city by a long bridge. I had been to the island once before, a few years ago when my friends Lauren and Jessie came to SoCal to visit from New Jersey, but haven’t had the pleasure of returning since. This time, friends Sabrina (Breezy) and Courtney came back to soak up the Cali sun and dabble into the Hamptons to Hollywood world of revelry and fun. And let’s just say I think they got exactly what they came for.

The first day there we spent exploring the Hotel Del Coronado, where they filmed Some Like It Hot, and I went denim on denim for a beachy casual look, which as the Champagne Society knows is my favorite attire to don. I paired white jeans with an everyday denim button-up and topped the look off with a fedora, which I think have become my new obsession (?) They just look effortless and breezy; the perfect headpiece for a tropical vacation or weekend getaway.

I also learned that apparently I’m really good at doing handstands! Who knew?

Thanks to Forever 21 & H&M for supplying the outfit selections for the trip. After the beachy fun, we indulged in PURELY Champagne-induced levels of fun, including a mild shipwreck. But I’ll get to that in my next post coming soon. Until then, enjoy the photo diary below and go buy yourself a fedora right now for summertime. Don’t listen to people who tell you they look douchey – they’re the ones that are just jealous they can’t pull them off 😉
