what to pack for croatia: a style & travel guide

 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…

the best white sneakers for summer 2019

 best white sneakers 2019, fashion blogger, paris, superga cotu white sneakers

one of my go to comfortable shoes for travel is a pair of white sneakers. they are still super on trend and they are SO comfortable for walking around a lot. a good pair of white sneakers are the perfect shoe for exploring european cities or charming beach towns. i literally can’t remember the last trip i took without my trusty white tennis shoes in tow. one of my favorite pairs are superga cotu classic sneakers. this italian brand is all over europe and definitely has caught on in the u.s. too. they’re super affordable, comfortable, and breathable (great for hotter days/climates). they are also pretty minimal and feminine so…

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…

safari travel & style guide

wear this there: what to pack for safari and everything else you should know before your trip when i was first planning my outfits for safari i took a little trip to rei and spent like $1,000 on things i didn’t actually need (thank god for their generous return policy). fun fact about me: i always freak out before every trip and order a million things, i usually don’t need and then return half of them and the other half doesn’t show up in time, so it’s generally always a disaster zone until the moment i hop on that uber heading to the airport and can finally relax about packing,…
