What I Wore in Big Sur (and Would Wear on Vacation Again) For this Big Sur trip, I packed versatile pieces that could work from river walks to sightseeing and everything in between. My fuchsia pink swim cover-up doubled as an easy vacation dress, while a black athleisure dress was perfect for comfortable exploring and casual dinners with a view. I paired both looks with simple flip flops and a black lace hat for sun protection and effortless coastal style. Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to pack, these are the kinds of pieces I always reach for when traveling.

A little GRWM before teaching yoga. 🤍

Today’s outfit started with these new Victoria’s Secret tanks that instantly reminded me of my ballerina days. The ruched detail gives such leotard vibes, today I wore the leopard, tomorrow will prob wear the black.

Then it’s time to prep at home and the studio… playlists, crystal singing bowls, lights, room spray, a little makeup, and getting everything ready before welcoming students in. My favorite part is watching the studio come to life, then checking everyone in before ending another class together. ✨

POV: your yoga teacher’s version of “text me when you get home.” 🤍

One thing you’ll hear at the end of almost every class: drink some water and get home safe. It’s a small reminder, but one I genuinely mean. I hope everyone leaves feeling a little lighter, a little stronger, and cared for long after they roll up their mat.

Big Sur River Outfit + Vacation Style Inspiration

mood: going with the flow, literally 💦🌿

sometimes the best plans are the ones you don’t force. a quiet river, a little sunshine, and a reminder that not everything needs to be rushed. nature has a way of slowing us down and bringing us back to the present moment.

for this day exploring Big Sur, I kept my outfit simple and vacation-ready with a fuchsia pink swim cover-up that doubles as a dress, a black lace sun hat, and comfortable flip-flops that were perfect for walking along the river and dipping my feet in the water. it’s an easy travel outfit that transitions seamlessly from a scenic stop on the coast to a casual lunch or beachside stroll.

if you’re planning a Big Sur getaway or looking for vacation outfit ideas, versatile pieces are key. a cover-up that can double as a dress, comfortable sandals or flip-flops, and a lightweight hat make packing easier while still looking put together for photos and adventures.

Big Sur River Walk Outfit + Travel Style Inspiration

you can’t step into the same river twice 💧✨

a reminder that nothing stays the same… not the water, not you, not this moment. every step downstream is a new experience, a new perspective, a new version of yourself. sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to hold onto a moment and simply be present for it.

for this Big Sur adventure, I wore a fuchsia pink swim cover-up that doubled as an easy vacation dress, paired with a black lace hat for a little extra sun protection and style. it’s the kind of outfit that works whether you’re exploring rivers, heading to the beach, strolling through a coastal town, or packing light for a weekend getaway.

if you’re wondering what to wear in Big Sur, think comfortable layers, breathable fabrics, versatile pieces, and accessories that can transition from nature walks to dinner with ocean views. the beauty of Big Sur is that it invites you to slow down, wander, and embrace whatever the day brings.

mood: slowing down and sipping matcha

a slow morning spent easing into the day at Chafinity, where everything feels intentional, minimal, and calm. the kind of place that naturally invites you to pause, stay a little longer, and let time soften around the edges.

this was one of those effortless outfit days where comfort met quiet polish. i wore a long white collared top that doubles as a swim cover-up styled like a dress, paired with simple sandals, hair pulled up, and light tinted sunglasses. easy, breathable, and perfect for a coastal coffee and matcha moment.

it’s giving slow living energy, coastal café mornings, and choosing softness in how you move through the day. nothing rushed, nothing overthought, just matcha in hand and a calm pace that lingers.

outfit idea for café days: oversized collared cover-up dress, minimal sandals, clean accessories, hair up for an effortless finish, soft tinted shades for that relaxed coastal feel

currently in my sound bowl era

there’s something about integrating sound healing into practice that shifts the entire atmosphere of a class. the space feels slower, more intentional, and deeply grounded. using a singing bowl after movement or at the end of savasana creates a moment where everything softens at once. breath, thoughts, and energy all settle into the same rhythm.

this has become a grounding part of my teaching rhythm lately, especially when I’m guiding students through mindful movement and nervous system reset work. the vibration of the bowl doesn’t just end class, it lingers in the room in a way that feels almost like an exhale you can hear.

it’s less about doing and more about allowing. allowing stillness to land. allowing the body to absorb the practice. allowing students to transition back into their day feeling more connected and regulated.

for fellow yoga teachers or wellness lovers, sound healing can be such a simple but powerful addition to your space. even one bowl at the end of practice can completely change the energy of the room.

set up yoga class with me

setting the tone before students arrive is one of my favorite parts of teaching. a little palo santo, soft lighting, and a quiet moment to ground the space completely shifts the energy of the room.

before the movement begins, there is intention. before the class flows, there is stillness. creating the environment is part of the practice just as much as the sequencing itself.

this is your reminder that the space you step into can support the way you feel, breathe, and move.

What I wore to the concert 🤍 Denim cowboy boots, a black mini dress, flowy swim cover up, and the unexpected favorite part of the look… turning the cover up into a head wrap once the night got cold. It added the perfect mix of warmth, texture, and fun movement while making the whole outfit feel even more styled together. Finished it off with a small loop clutch for the perfect concert night look.

me: i don’t need another pair of boots.

also me: 👢💙🤠

The denim cowboy boot trend officially got me. There’s just something about a pair of denim boots that instantly makes an outfit feel more fun, playful, and put together. Whether you style them with a dress, denim-on-denim look, shorts, or a flowy skirt, they add the perfect western-inspired touch without trying too hard.

I told myself I was done buying boots… and then these happened. No regrets. Tell me I’m not the only one currently obsessed with denim cowboy boots lately.

where are my maxxinistas? 🙋‍♀️✨

today’s TJ Maxx finds did not disappoint. I spotted so many cute sunglasses, trendy jewelry pieces, and affordable fashion accessories that look way more expensive than they are. Finding designer-inspired style for less is one of my favorite reasons to shop TJ Maxx.

From statement sunglasses to everyday jewelry and unexpected fashion finds, this haul felt like a win. Who else loves hunting for hidden gems at TJ Maxx?

My favorite little travel setup lately. Found this leopard weekender in the kids section at Gap and it’s honestly the perfect size for a quick overnight or day trip. I love that the print feels subtle and not overly leopard while still adding something fun to a simple travel look.

Paired it with my matching denim-look cotton athleisure set that feels comfortable for long travel days but still looks put together. These are the pieces I keep reaching for when I want easy, functional, and cute.

My go-to shoes for Barry’s lately… the Nike V2K. They’re lightweight enough for tread, supportive for floor work, and somehow still make my workout outfit feel fun and styled. I love a sneaker that can handle sprints, strength, and still look cute walking in with my post-class coffee. The perfect mix of sporty and retro.

Yoga sequencing will forever live better in a notebook for me than in my phone notes. Writing out class themes, transitions, playlists, and little reminders by hand helps everything stick in my head so much more deeply. I also love using notebooks with positive affirmations on the cover because it feels like part of the practice too… grounding, inspiring, and intentional before class even begins. One of my favorite rituals as a teacher.
