Navigating the Best of La Jolla; My Hometown Picks From Design to Delicious Eats

KT List: La Jolla

A round-up of La Jolla favorites hand-picked for you.

Treasured by generations of families, La Jolla brings an unmatched quality of life. There is a reason homes are sold over asking and buyers remain confident in future market escalation. It is a world-renowned locale, affording a mix of unparalleled lifestyle and legacy.

I, of course, have my own list of local favorites having grown up in this beautiful seaside enclave. This list of the best-of-the-best in La Jolla embraces my lifelong eye for design. From gathering sand dollars along La Jolla Shores to shopping at Mythos in Bird Rock, I’m always finding new pieces to bring to personally-curated projects and home staging.

It’s no secret that navigating the La Jolla market takes expertise. You’ll find every little tight-knit pocket of the community has its own energy, price range, and feel. But don’t worry, I’ve down the leg work for you. Here are a few of my personal go-to's for design, style, & deliciousness in the area:

Bird Rock

I always find an incredible piece at Mythos. Their curated selection of gems, minerals, and artifacts create a grounding and curiosity in my designs, paired with special finds at Bard’s. And, we love a client get together at Beaumont’s. Don’t miss their spicy margarita. While you’re there bring home some coffee and homemade bread from Bird Rock Coffee and Wayfarer.
