Its a vibe: It’s the 90s, you’re 17 and this is your cool Aunt’s apartment. Your parents finally paid for you to fly out for a visit. After dinner Thursday night, she goes out to her friend Laurie’s, for drinks, and you’re left to comb through her vinyl collection and dream about how college in going to be when you can finally be yourself. In the morning, you’re going down to the beach; you’re going to wear your new bathing suit.
It’s clean but not sterile. Funky but functional. Would you want to do California coast another way?
