I’m feeling a little unprepared so I’ve been doing a bunch of research on what to pack. Something I’ve come to realize about myself is that just about the only time I typically buy new pieces (wardrobe-wise) is when I’m preparing for a trip. Is that strange? Anyone else? I’m much more focused on the style of my home than my personal style (But that’s a story for another time!) During our time in Big Sur we plan to totally unplug (no cell service!) and hike up a storm in the Redwoods/along the coast, so I’ll be packing casual, comfy (but still put together!) pieces that can go from cool mornings, to warm hike-filled afternoons, to happy hour overlooking the sea. These are a few pieces I’ve got my eye on for the trip! Jacket | Sunnies | White Top | Backpack | Scarf | Shorts | Dress | Camera

There is so much pristine coastline to hike that there are people who hire guides and make an entire trip out of hiking from seaside town to seaside town. Ken and I? We indulged in an adventure that took the good part of a day. ‘The Path of the Gods’ was the trail Ken set his sights on. There are a ton of places on the coast where you can hook onto the trail.  (Read all about them on Trip Advisor.) We took the bus just south out of Positano proper and climbed a staircase off the main road up to Nocelle, a tiny town clinging to the hillside with a direct connection to the trail. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend doing what we did as it wasn’t just a few stairs. It was 800 stairs. Yep, and we were pretty darn exhausted by the time we reached Nocelle, and we hadn’t even made it to the “hike.” Nonetheless we had fun with it, and there was a stand at the top of those 800 stairs selling freshly squeezed orange juice using oranges the owner had grown in his garden.
