FASHION FAVES

Nuuly

“A monthly subscription service such as Nuuly is a game changer for packing! Personally, I love going for fun statement pieces that fit with your destination's vibe such as a lemon print dress for Sorrento or Lobster romper for Maine while still being eco-conscious for items you don't plan wear more than once or twice. ( But if you fall in love with a piece, you always have the option to purchase) I also love utilizing this service for outer and ski wear!”


Flight Necessities

For those long flights! They work to stimulate circulation in the lower half, which is especially useful during long flights when you're sitting for prolonged periods.

“Flying, especially overnight, is all about comfort and layers. Layering a nice wrap or poncho over a casual base layer can elevate your overall look while offering warmth on the plane.”

“My famous sleep mask with built in blue tooth speakers for relaxing sleep music to drown out noise and light on planes & hotels...I NEVER EVER travel without it!”

“My newest luggage addition. With a built in expander so you can overfill your bag, Zip, then compress the bag down to meet airline restrictions for a Carry On Bag.”


Beach Vacay Must Haves

“You will rarely, if ever, see me on a trip without a hat for sun protection. I love that the Gigi and Pip straw hats are sturdy enough to withstand riding in the overhead bins and come with an elastic strap inside you can use to attach to your carryon bag.”

Want a wow factor suit, this is the one! Lounge on the beach in this waist synching one piece. This cute swimsuit features a scoop neckline and low-cut strappy back.

“Oversized and slightly cat eye frames and squared lenses of the Sydney are perfect for looking glam poolside. The matte black frames go with every outfit - from poolside to on the go excursions, these are my favoirte sunnies.”

Resort ready in this vacation staple - fun print sarong. Throw over your fave swimsuit to go from beach to beach bar!


Travel Faves

“My go to travel shoe- you can dress them up or down and the best part is they are leightweight and washable so you can keep them fresh on the road! I have these in all colors and I love that they go with all types of outfits!” *Tip - Runs small. I recommend going up half a size for best fit. For wider feet, go up a full size.

“I love this bag as it's neutral enough to go with everything but I love the monogrammed touch to elevate the look. This particular bag holds a lot but lays nice and flat against your body” Designed with a matching leather crossbody strap that can be swapped out. Add a foil debossed monogram for a personal touch.

“A flight attendant told me about this bag years ago and It's one of my best purchases to date! I have it in both the traditional weekender and mini. There is a separate compartment for shoes or pillow and plenty of space on top for your laptop and other items you'll want to keep in your carry on.”

Flexible silicone straw above the lid stays quietly in place and washes easily to promote reusability. Easy to throw in your suitcase for on the go hydration.


For The Foodie

“If you know me, I'm a foodie at heart. Whether I'm indulging in a gourmet meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant - Savoring street food from a local market or throwing together a impromtu charcuterie board, my love for culinary delights is boundless. One of my favorite foodie hacks is keeping mini sea salt tins in my purse. These tiny treasures add the perfect touch of flavor to any dish, no matter where I am. I particularly adore the Maldon Salt Travel Tin 2-Pack, which includes one regular and one smoked variety. There's nothing quite like that little flaky crunch to elevate a meal on the go!”
