Step into our Cali kitchen

The fresh crab flavour of Malibu meets LA’s popularity of veganism in the 100% plant-based California roll by Konscious Foods ($10). With avocado, pickled cucumber and tamari sauce included, this frozen grocery delivers fresh Californian sushi in just minutes.

Nespresso invites coffee snobs to taste the California Dream with their Summer 2023 pod collection ($40). With sweet, juicy notes promising a refreshing iced coffee, Nespresso’s new Juicy Watermelon Flavour meets the state’s high coffee standards.

Coffee tastes more Californian in the Parks Project California Dreaming Mug ($27). With designs inspired by the state’s National Parks, this classic camp mug emulates the morning after a night of camping in Joshua Tree.

Days by the beach

For a beach book manifesting the glamour of 70s-era California, shop Indigo for Eve Babitz’ Los Angeles love letter, Eve’s Hollywood ($25). Known as the LA’s most charming daughter, Babitz will forever be an icon in Californian literature.

Made from a terry velour cotton, the limited edition Sunset Velour Beach Towel by Tofino Towel transports us to the Huntington Beach pier ($70). This incredibly luxe towel is the perfect addition to a day at the beach or pool – wherever we may be.

Nights out in the valley
