Hiring an electric car across California is the obvious tip, but look for hotels with EV points to avoid wasting daylight hours charging. California’s roads are long and often winding, and depending on the season you’re never too far away from wintry or wet conditions — especially at high elevation beauty spots. Eating seasonally is easy too. California’s weather is comparable to the Mediterranean, and it’s these conditions that make it a favourable farm-to-table destination. Cities like Sacramento and Berkeley have long been flying the flag for fresh, seasonal produce, with locally grown almonds, pistachios, mandarins and tomatoes abundant on menus year-round, reducing food mileage.

Aptly named the “Anya Mart”, it’s already proven itself one of the capital’s most in demand corner shops — with punters queuing in the rain from 7am for a 10am opening this Saturday. Honestly, fair enough. Stacked high with brand new pieces from her latest collection, including mini Lurpak butter and Fruit Pastille-replica charms, card cases and Pringle-sloganed raffia totes — as well as an exclusive mini version of her popular Universal tote bag, it’s got all your everyday non-essentials — and then some.  Source link

In addition to the restaurant, lounge area and upstairs bar, No. 42 has also made space for a chic underground spa and adjoining coffee shop, called Field Trip.

She breathes young air, thinks young thoughts, and gathers no dust,” he said.  Source link

The almost full famille complement (no Romeo) were in attendance - including daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham in a scarlett red mini dress, who was spotted earlier in the week wearing a piece from Mrs Beckham’s own personal archive, a Dolce & Gabbana 2001 moto jacket. Source link
