What to Wear in Monterey in the Winter

January 10, 2020
What to Wear in Monterey in the Winter by popular Monterey life and style blog, Haute Beauty Guide: collage image of various jackets, sweaters, dresses, and accessories.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! We had a nice laid back vibe this year. It was great to have Olivia excited about everything that was going on. She didn’t understand why we were handing her toys to open but she sure loved it! Back from the holidays with a question I get asked all the time on Instagram. What to Wear in Monterey in the Winter?

Our weather is unpredictable–the fog can roll in any minute or the sun can come out when you least expect it. Layers are key! The town is pretty laid back so I keep it casual California. Here are the key pieces in my closet and some I have my eye on.

What to Wear in Monterey in the Winter

For Winter, we get a bit of rain and chilly weather so these all-weather boots from Jenni Kayne are a great staple, paired back to a good sweater and puffer jacket. I wear these leggings all the time; with ballet flats or boots or trainers. This blazer, tee, and shine leggings would be perfect for a Monterey chilly but sunny day.

Jackets and Sweaters

Bottoms

Tops

Shoes + Bags

Accessories

Skincare + Beauty

Every piece in the capsule is a California brand and many are made here in the USA! Companies like Everlane, Allbirds, and Jenni Kayne are doing more and more ecofriendly pieces that are actually chic! Over the next two weeks, I plan on releasing a 100 ways to pair these pieces and then how to transition them to Spring. I hope it helps with outfit planning and inspires you to buy more sustainable pieces that work all year for years to come. The outfits are not just for What to Wear in Monterey in the Winter but can easily work for other places on your travel bucket list.

I’ve fully fallen into the beauty of this novel. Spread over generations, the author weaves California history into the story beautifully. I love, love, love thinking about what Monterey/Salinas was like 100 or 200 years ago. If you want a story that sucks you in from the first page, hunt down this book, “In The Land Of Plenty” by  Mary Smathers.

Good morning!!! Did anyone else grow up eating or Good morning!!! 
Did anyone else grow up eating oranges and grapefruit every morning?  My obāsan (grandma) was convinced a warm bowl of breakfast fried rice and a side of citrus would make me do better at school. 😬 I'm still not sure how that worked out. But, even after I moved out and was in beauty school and college I would go by her house in the morning for breakfast and a chat.  The smell and taste of grapefruit always bring me back to those treasured memories. 

The new Grapefruit @thelordjones Body Lotion throws me right in the middle of all those memories!  The refreshing scent gives me such nostalgia and happy feelings each morning.  I use it every morning after I meditate (a habit I recently picked up) and before I start work.  With 100mg of CBD and 2 MG per pump, it is the best way to start the day.  I don't use it on my whole body but concentrate on my neck, shoulders, and scalp. 

If you have followed along with my skincare tips over the years you know I am very picky about CBD products.  There are so many out there and I get flooded with emails to try them all.  There is really only a handful I recommend.  The Lord Jones brand is consistent for me.  I use the bath salts every night, I carry the lotion around everywhere and the gummies are my bedtime treat.  I haven't tried their skincare yet but several pieces are on my list to try this year. 

The new Lord Jones Grapefruit Hight CBD Formula lotion is available @sephora and @thelordjones websites now!

Virtual learning is a challenge and not something Virtual learning is a challenge and not something I was prepared for a year ago.  Over the last several months I've researched and tried so many toddler online classes.  Several were duds and a few were really standouts.  This Twinkle Toes class from @hellosawyer was the cutest and really got Olivia engaged. 
Over on the blog today, I am sharing more about the classes we took with Sawyer and how I use their new FAVORITES List to keep track of classes I think Olivia will love in the future.  Pop over and check it out!

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.
