Tips for a Perfect Trip

 

Plan Ahead: Make reservations for dining and spa treatments in advance to ensure you get the best spots.

Dress Smart: Beverly Hills is known for its stylish residents. Pack chic, comfortable outfits for day and night. For a casual chic daytime look, pair our sustainable Joyasol Paisley Sneakers with a day dress, or for something more glam pair a matching set with our Zoey Block heels as seen below. 

 

• Stay Hydrated: The weather can be warm, so carry water and stay hydrated, especially if you’re spending a lot of time outdoors. We love packing liquid IV and NUUNS!
• Use Rideshares: Parking can be challenging. Use Uber or Lyft for convenience.
