Music runs my whole day. I have a playlist for waking up, one for the gym, one for driving down PCH and one for getting ready to go out. Here’s what’s on rotation for me this fall. — Cami Del Toro
Morning coffee playlist
Mornings are slow and soft for me, so I want music that feels like sunlight. Think dreamy R&B, acoustic covers and anything with a lazy Sunday feeling. Artists I keep coming back to:
- SZA – the slower songs, perfect with coffee
- Daniel Caesar – for the really quiet mornings
- Laufey – when I want to feel like I’m in an old movie
- Frank Ocean – always, forever
This is the soundtrack to the first hour of my LA routine, before my phone flips back over.
Gym and pilates playlist
At the gym I need energy. Big beats, confident lyrics, nothing that lets me slow down. My current gym mix leans pop and hip-hop:
- Doja Cat – instant confidence
- Megan Thee Stallion – leg-day essential
- Dua Lipa – for cardio and treadmill intervals
- Beyoncé – when I need the last set to count

Beach drive playlist
Windows down, sunglasses on, driving toward Malibu at golden hour. This one is all summer energy, even in October:
- Lana Del Rey – the most LA music that has ever existed
- The Weeknd – for night drives home
- Tame Impala – dreamy and perfect for the coast
- Sabrina Carpenter – for singing badly at full volume
Getting ready playlist: confident girl energy
This is my favorite playlist, period. It’s the one I play while I do my makeup, try on three outfits and text my friends “10 more minutes” (it’s never 10 minutes). Flirty pop, throwbacks and a few songs I’m slightly embarrassed to love:
- Britney Spears – every getting-ready playlist needs her
- Ariana Grande – for the eyeliner part
- Charli XCX – when the night is going to be fun
- Rihanna – the queen of pregame
Paired with my fall outfit ideas, this is basically my whole personality on a Friday night.
Spooky season playlist
Since it’s October, I have a playlist just for Halloween week: a few moody classics, some dark-pop and the songs that always end up playing at costume parties. It’s the soundtrack to my Halloween looks for 2026.
Wind-down playlist
At night it’s back to soft and slow: lo-fi, piano covers and rainy-day jazz. I play it during my nighttime skincare and while I journal before bed.
How I find new music
Mostly from friends, TikTok sounds that get stuck in my head and the radio in Ubers (I always ask what’s playing). If you have a song you think I’d love, send it my way on Instagram, TikTok or X at @Camiibby3. I really do listen.
Songs that make me feel like a California girl
Some songs are tied to places for me. There’s one I always play driving up Sunset at night, one that reminds me of my first apartment here and one that will forever be the sound of a Venice sunset with my best friends. Music is how I remember things. When I look back at my photos from this year, I can hear exactly what was playing. That’s why I keep updating this page: it’s like a diary, just with better beats. Check back every few weeks for new picks and seasonal mixes.
