Wearing beachwear favorites- little goes a loooong way

From tank tops and sandals to crop tops and shorts, we love wearing breathable clothing! Southern California is known for the chill vibes, and though not everyone looks like they just came out of the water, we definitely love to wear what's comfy and cool.

Let's go to the beach-each, let's go get away

How can you wear "beach wear" and not go to the beach?!! Whether you're on the sand for a bronzed tan in Malibu, in the ocean waves to surf your heart out at Huntington Beach, with friends around a bonfire at La Bolsa Chica, or spinning in rides and winning arcade games at the Santa Monica Pier, going to the beach is a must for this weather. There's so much to do for everyone, you sometimes have to let go of the fact that sand will be all over your clothes.

So go ahead, drive out with some summer jams and catch a wave.

Adventure time in downtown Los Angeles!

Downtown Los Angeles, and the rest of LA county, is set up incredibly far apart, so it isn't the easiest to just take the public transportation system. This is especially counting its limited structure and rush hour traffic that cuts half of your day. However, walking isn't too bad around sections of LA, which includes the downtown area. Soak up the sun by admiring the multitude of buildings and businesses we have around town, and who knows, you'll probably find yourself in a coveted photo-op spot.

Sweet and scrumptious picnics at the park

Grass is starting to have less rain residue, meaning soil won't stick onto your clothes, so why not take a nap on the earth, read a good book, or have a cute picnic? Grand Park in DTLA typically has activities and events in the summer months, and as you relieve your tired feet by walking barefoot in the fountain, you an also find a bunch of other cool things to do, like grab some coffee or boba in the area the warmer spring/summer gets.

Foodies united: outdoor food fests go rampant

California's diversity has ushered in an era of die-hard foodies, and Los Angeles is no exception. There's Smorgasburg every Sunday for food stands a-plenty, first Fridays at Venice Beach for food trucks galore, 626 Night Market on select weekends for your Taiwanese night market fix, and the Orange County Fair for the wild and fried! All of these eating experiences typically take place outside, and as the sun warms up, we can sample food in its full glory.

Shop in the sun till ya drop

Due to its usual year-round sunshine, southern California has multiple outdoor malls to make shopping a breezy leisure in-between store fronts. Some great places to shop or just hang around in the sunshine is the Grove, the Americana, Century City Mall, and the many outlets located closer to Palm Springs and Nevada. Splurge a little, treat yo' self, and have a latte after under the warm breeze.

Up and around the canyons 

With warmer and dryer weather, those in southern California can do a classic morning past-time: hiking! Runyon Canyon, Eaton Canyon, trails near Griffith Park, and so much more trails are ready to be unlocked for its full rays of sunshine. Just don't forget to wear sunscreen and try to go early, as the sun can get really intense during the middle of the day (unless you're into that sort of thing, then by all means!).

Bonus: Poppies!!

For the first time in years, California is experiencing a natural growth of the national flower: poppy flowers! Due to the Superbloom at the end of the drought, many people are flocking to the fields to get a glimpse of these gorgeous paintings by nature- and sneak a shot of them in it!

However, please proceed with caution when around the poppies! They are super fragile, especially when human bodies press against them, so keep in mind to stay on the trail!!!
