Be ahead of the curve. When looking for an impressive look that's stepping outside the box, you need not look further than the collections of Geren Ford. Gaining inspiration from her travels and the surrounding art world, her designs mimic the beauty she sees. This designer blends classic style with fashion forward edge. I think the reason Ford has such great balance in her designs comes from her childhood which was split between living in New York and Southern California, gaining both East and West Coast style. Geren Ford has created a unique blend of clothing that holds on to what it means to be a woman without sacrificing individuality. I'm in love with her latest Fall collection. The colors are all deeply rich - they just take your breath away. Ford stands by her philosophy of "subtle yet sophisticated design" and it really shows. You'll definitely stand out in these designs. The only difficult part will be deciding which pieces to choose!

A stay at The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla gives you the beauty of Southern California at your fingertips. The crashing waves against the carved dunes of the coast, a seagull filled lagoon, and miles of hiking trails are enough to lure you into the San Diego area. Situated alongside the Torrey Pines State Reserve, the lodge offers the best that any AAA five-star golf course resort would -- terraced fine dining establishments overlooking the resort, garden like golf courses, pool lounging- cabana style, and spas that have mastered the art of relaxation. Additionally, it's decor is a tribute to California greats, pieces by A.R. Valentine adorn the walls, and the entryway is modeled after that of Pasadena's Black House. As a walk through the resort is almost like taking a tour through the mid-20th century, there's not a better way to explore the roots of rustic California. Experience the Golden State like never before and checkout some of the views at The Lodge At Torrey Pines in this slideshow!
