Miami Style Guide

Faena Miami Bech

Here are some current 2021 summer style trends that will be great for a trip to Miami! Clothing: Cutouts – fun cutouts are super on trend this summer: Neon and bright pinks – these are especially apt for Miami: Slinky, satin – also great for Miami: Strappy strappy – extra straps that wrap around the mid section and back are really popular right now:  “Cottagecore” – super feminine girly, puffy sleeves, floral print dress are having a moment. This look might not be as popular in Miami, but I think some of these options might still be cute for the daytime there: Open backs- open backs are definitely having a moment…

best beach croatia, pupnatska luka beach, kocula, croatia

wear this there: what to pack for croatia, montenegro, & slovenia ~ a comprehensive style and travel guide for croatia, montenegro, & slovenia ~ we spent three glorious weeks this summer in the balkans, road tripping along the adriatic coast through montenegro, croatia, and slovenia. we feasted on fresh fish, calamari, and squid, paired with local wines and spritzers. we took private boats (to escape the crowds) along the bay of kotor and the elaphiti islands, coasting along dramatic cliffsides to sparkling blue grottoes and hidden beaches. we reunited with friends in hvar and partied ‘til sunrise, rode scooters in search of beautiful, pebbled beaches and vineyards on an almost…

my new favorite beach accessory

cute travel towel, lemon print towel

on my recent trip to the adriatic coast, i challenged myself to pack everything for my 3 week trip in just a carry on, including an oversized travel towel! and by some miracle, i made it work. i knew I’d be spending a lot of days lounging by the ocean, and the adriatic is known for its rocky beaches, so i needed something comfortable to lay on and those plain lightweight travel towels weren’t very appealing to me. the skova oversized travel towel that i brought ended up being perfect. it was big enough for both my boyfriend and me to sit on, plus it’s super cute! they have so…

the french riviera: style guide

the french riviera, hotel du cap eden roc

ahhh, the french riviera. the glitz and glamour, the rosé and champagne, the yachts and fancy cars, the sparkling, cerulean blue seas and pastel colored towns, the jetsetters and a-list parties. is that what you picture when you think of the famed southern coast of france? well, the french riviera is actually a bit of a paradox. some parts, even in (or maybe i should say, especially in) monaco, nice, and antibes, are rather run down and dated. but not in the charming way you imagine, more in the eyesore, wtf are these hideous buildings, kind of way. of course there is also the chic and dazzling side to these…

a style & travel guide for zanzibar, tanzania

zanzibar tanzania beach at low tide

i have been dreaming of going to africa since i was a little girl. more specifically, the white sandy beaches of east africa. my dad lived there for a few years in his early thirties and used to tell me stories about spearfishing in the crystal clear waters, dancing and singing with the locals, and looking up at the clear night sky surrounded by thousands of stars. he described an untouched paradise with the most kind and welcoming people. throughout my whole life, if someone asked me where do you want to go more than anywhere, my answer would be here.   i finally made it to the place of…

what toiletries to pack for safari

toiletries for safari trip, what to pack for safari

all the toiletries and makeup you need for safari and a beach trip pre/post safari in general, i don’t wear a ton of makeup, but for your safari trip/beach trip, you really just need the essentials. on game drives, it’s pretty windy and can be dusty if you go in drier seasons, so makeup is kind of useless. if you must wear mascara, i recommend waterproof especially if you have sensitive eyes, as mine were so watery from the windy and dusty drives (and we even went at the end of rainy season). the most important thing you need is sunscreen and moisturizer. see my full list below on all…
