Live interior design NATALIE BORTON DESIGNS Cool moms love Natalie Borton. e hoop earrings. e "Sol Crafted" oversized totes. e chocolate suede Natalie Belt with gilded hardware. Oh, and the refined Tom Cruise sunnies? ey are classified under Borton's "outfit completers." "All the designs are born from the desire in my own life to have this effortless, elevated, everyday style without overthinking it," says the influencer from her eponymous new flagship on Coast Highway. e breezy shop serves as an office, a slow-fashion showroom, and community centerpiece where events are planned for new drops ( atch, Yearly Co, Abby Alley), and holiday parties like Mother's Day, naturally. In stock: leather bags, monogrammed rings, ceramics, and gifts for the minimalist you love. ON THE CULINARY HORIZON e ratio is shifting. Once upon a time, Encinitas had all the restaurants and Solana Beach had all the shopping. In March, Rustic Root tipped the scales when it debuted a buzzy indoor-outdoor eatery on Coast Highway. e corner spot was designed by Davis Ink and architect Arch5 Design Studio with sustainable cred — constructed with wood sourced from e Hotel Del's renovation. Next up on Coast Highway? ere's the forthcoming Lana, a coastal concept from the hospitality vet who opened Herringbone, e Marine Room, and Waypoint Public. Mia's, meanwhile, is a Baja-Med vision taking shape in the old Alce with Bluewater Grill reconfiguring the space for open-air conviviality. Over on Cedros Avenue, restaurateur Mario Guerra brings us Bodega by Valentina, a version of the popular Leucadia eatery.
