In Straight Trippin', OC friends and family share tidbits from their latest travels. This time, OC womenswear designer Meghan Roche shares snaps of scenic views and sea creatures from her trip home to Newfoundland, Canada.
Name: Meghan Roche
Occupation: Womenswear designer
Travel destination: Newfoundland, Canada (home!)
Carry-on necessities: The World of Interiors. No fashion mags allowed on this trip! This and my sketchbook occupy my Christopher Kane Floral Embroidered backpack.
Reading materials: Re-reading The Collected Stories of Deborah Eisenberg, great short stories perfect for non-commital reading. Also, many New Yorkers to catch up on.
Most over-played track on your iPhone this trip: "Under My Thumb" by The Rolling Stones, "Natsu Nandesu" by Happy End, and "Night Moves" by Bob Seger.
Favorite outfit to travel in: I live in COS T-shirts, worn with cropped Acne Studios trousers, and white Air Jordan 1 Retro Lows. Stowed in my carry-on are my new OC Curtain High-Heel Sandals in aqua––doing a quick change when I land to meet friends out for drinks!
Highlight of your trip: Going home always feels like a vacation. In the summer there are some amazing festivals, which bring a lot of people back home. "Newfies," as we're called, definitely know how to have a good time. You have to be prepped for some late nights!
Best part: Spending time on our boat with family and friends, fishing, and spotting whales!
Souvenirs you brought back: Great vintage from some local "untapped" sources.![]()
