The West Coast is made up of so many different micro-climates. From the northernmost part of Washington to the border of Baja, it’s a magical Mediterranean environment. Think sweeping coastal beaches full of marine life, and seasonally mild temps. However, venture inland and you’ll find yourself amidst a unique combination of surroundings—snowy, towering Sierras and redwood covered forests, flat, rural farmlands, and eventually a hot, dusty desert landscape. With such a rich and varied ecosystem, it’s no wonder the Pacific Coast is a welcoming habitat for so many wonderful plant and animal species.

Cool Off with Cold Shoulders
When the weather is warm and the days are long, there’s nothing like a cool shoulder and a best friend. Cold shoulders made a serious comeback for fall and we loved the look so much that we decided to give it a summertime twist.
A casual continuation of the popular 80’s off-shoulder trend, the cold shoulder is a bit more bohemian than its dramatic bare shoulder sister. Cut-out versus cut-off, this stylish design gives a relaxed look to tops and dresses. Plus its thin, subtle strap turns a trendy piece into a play-ready staple.
