Travel

During years 3 through 5 of writing my blog, I did quite a bit of traveling. I mean, I think I was on-the-go just about every other week if not more often. I was always on the go and traveling ALL over the place! During that time, I did my best to document the places I went, things I did, and outfits I wore along the way. In this category, I share my itineraries, packing tips, travel looks, hotel & location reviews, and even how I decompress when on the road. Some of my favorite places I’ve visited (some once but a few several!) over the past few years have been the Amalfi Coast in Italy, Highlands (NC), Charleston (SC), The Cascade Mountains (Outside Seattle), and Banff just to name a few. If you’re looking for travel tips, you might find my post on Tips For Packing Well helpful as well as my carry-on travel tips! I’ve also shared How To Make The Most Out Of Your Time Traveling and 7 Ways To Make Travel Less Stressful.

I am a freak about keeping my cosmetics & toiletries organized while traveling. And I've found that traveling with a makeup bag that you can hang up is the best thing ever! It makes getting ready on-the-go and in smaller bathrooms so much easier. Plus, you can...

CalPak Marble Luggage Set

I mean I pretty much use this set just about every time I travel. I will say, I like the AWAY better but for the price, this set is amazing and I'm only my second set (I did a lot of traveling with the first!).

The Best Trips I’ve Taken

Travel has always been something that’s important to me. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to visit a lot of really amazing places in my life, and there are a ton still on my bucket list! Some of these trips were work-related, while others were trips that I got to take with friends or Duncan. With vacation season in full effect and summer right around the corner, I thought it might be fun…

Tips for Traveling With Kids

It wasn’t until I traveled with my own kids that I really understood the fear parents have of traveling with children. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been on many flights with screaming children, but there’s something truly terrifying when it’s your OWN KIDS doing the screaming. We’ve traveled a few times now with the kids, and I feel like I’ve picked up on a few tricks to help keep them…

Why We Chose the Amangani Hotel in Jackson Hole

At the beginning of the year, Duncan and I decided to take a trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It was my first time visiting this beautiful place, and I’m already looking forward to the chance to go back.

JSX Airlines Review

A few months ago, I flew to Austin and then Houston on JSX. I posted a couple of pics on Instagram, and so many people thought I was flying private. (I WISH!) Since then, I feel like I get asked for the name of this airline DAILY! And I have a rule that once a question truly becomes that frequent, it’s time to turn it into a blog post! So…

High Hampton Inn Review

I’ve been visiting Highlands, NC for years but have never stayed anywhere in the neighboring town of Cashiers (just a few miles down the road). But when I heard how the company that recently acquired High Hampton Inn brought in the team behind Blackberry farm to help with renovations and reimagine the resort, I knew I had to add this spot to the top of our list. Although I’ve never personally been…

What I Wore in San Miguel

Hello from Dallas! I’m so sad our Mexico trip is over (we got back on Sunday), but it’s nice to be back in the swing of things.

We spent 5 days there (including travel days) and I felt like it was the perfect amount of time to soak…

My Favorite Restaurants in Aspen

I’ve been going to Aspen since I was a kid with my family and now with Duncan and Four, so I’ve definitely come to learn which restaurants are great in the cozy ski town. Even though Aspen is considered a “small town,” it actually has some really great places to eat and shop. Downtown Aspen is one of my favorite places ever! Through the years, I’ve seen some shops and…
