A few favorite things to pick up during your visit…

Protect your face from the California sun and head to Maxine in Newport. Choose from a lovely selection of handwoven Panama hats from their own handmade hat collections, Creatures of Love. Owner and hatmaker, Bea, can add ribbons or trimmings of your choice to create a hat personalized for you.

Give your outfits a punch with handmade jewelry by local Laguna Beach artist, Diana Garreau. The necklaces are made of vintage glass and African beads. All are fabulous, the colors are interesting and they are each one-of-a-kind. Diana has an expert eye and a wonderful sense of style. Your eyes will pop out of your head when you step inside her glorious shop, a jewel box in and of itself.

This catch-all bag is a chic vessel in which to drop your keys, the TV remote, or anything, really. It’s made by Italian designer Luisa Cevese, using cast-off fishing net from Sicily and polyurethane. I love the organic-meetsmodern aesthetic. A’maree’s carries a variety of these bags made from different recycled bits and bobs. A super soft Italian herringbone throw is perfect to use as a wrap for early morning or evening beach walks. Bixby & Ball, in Lido Marina Village, stocks a collection of these throws in a range of pretty hues, along with other coastal-inspired home accessories and decor.
