Of all travel the recommendations, this is by far my number one. Traveling light doesn’t necessarily mean you have to compromise on what you pack, it just means you have to pack “smarter”. I have been traveling to other countries since 2016 with just a carry-on for all of my belongings, and keep in mind – that was as a fashion blogger! If I can make it work, I swear anyone can. If you are looking to travel with less baggage, insure your belongings make it to your destination, spend less time waiting at the airport, and want to save on luggage fees keep reading.
save that space
First thing you are going to want to do is pop over to Amazon and order space saver bags. Get the ones that you can push the air out of and don’t require a vacuum. These bags are clear so you can easily see what is inside and come in various sizes. I like to separate based on what days I will be wearing what so that I don’t need to dig through, or open everything at once.
So I recently traveled to St. Lucia to attend one of my best friend’s bachelorette parties, and as a solo group of 4 girls traveling the country without a guide, I want to give you my thoughts on our experience and share what to expect if you are thinking of planning a trip to St. Lucia.
I am going to give an itinerary of what we did, as well as, what I think is worth it and what’s not. I will also share at the end all takeaways and what I would recommend. 🙂
What You Need To Get There
Getting to St. Lucia isn’t exactly a cakewalk. There are 3 forms you must complete before entering the country, one of which must be completed 48 hours before travel to receive approval. I will add the link to the website for this paperwork, and the most current requirements.
As of our trip in February of 2022, you must:
- Be fully vaccinated and have proof of vaccination on hand
- Have a valid passport
- Have a negative PCR test result not older than 5 days
- Complete the Travel Registration form, and receive approval
- Ministry of Health & Wellness Screening Health Questionnare
- Immigration form (provided to you on the airplane)
- Any potential documentation your airline requires
Hi friends! I wanted to put this post together to share what protocols I noticed Walt Disney World parks have put into place to keep everyone safe while enjoying the happiest place on Earth. Now I know, most people are probably still pretty apprehensive to visit theme parks or largely populated places so hopefully, this post can put some of your worries at ease!
Back in my college days, I worked at Walk Disney World, so I know what time of year is the “best” in the sense of least foot traffic. Personally, January February is best as you can ride pretty much anything your heart desires without too long of lines. That’s why my husband and I thought if we wanted to get a trip to Disney in this year, this would be the time to give it a go. Below I will list out all of the steps Disney has put into place to keep all of their guests and cast members happy, safe, and able to enjoy the magic.
First things first – the parks not only require tickets but also specific park reservations
This way Disney can control, and limit the number of guests visiting each day. If you purchase a park hopper pass then you have to reserve your first park and cannot “hop” to the second until after 2 pm. – Which is also dependant on park capacity for that day and availability.
A very special thank you to Getaway for hosting our stay. All details and opinions shared are my own.
i want to break free
If the chaos of our current world has you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and feeling a bit claustrophobic, well… you aren’t alone. Sometimes going back to the earth (quoting one of my favorite Jason Mraz songs), getting in touch with nature, and most of all yourself is just what you need to recharge and refocus. This is exactly what I did on our latest Getaway. For all of my fellow Houstonians, Getaway has a new location just an hour outside of the city; perfect for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle.
Summer is almost here which means cute warm-weather clothes! I was lucky enough to have an amazing getaway for spring break with my soon to be sister-in-law for her bachelorette party to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico so I picked out some of the cutest pieces from Red Dress, and wanted to show you how I styled them to get you inspired for looks to rock this Summer!
Wow in a Watercolor Kimono
This maxi length semi-sheer kimono is absolutely gorg! There is a tie so you can wear it closed as a swimmie cover-up or open with an outfit as I have done here. The colors are neutral so you can wear it with pretty much any solid color. Here I have paired it with a white crop top and my favorite $15 shorts from Target.
Here is a quick lookbook of the outfits I planned, packed, and wore during Fashion Week this past February. I went with neutral tones and a 70’s inspired vibe. Honestly, I usually have one favorite look that stands out above the rest, but this year I loved all of the looks so much! Everything was comfortable and easy to wear all day – which is super important when it’s rainy, cold and you have to walk a lot! So without further ado, here are the looks!
With Feb Fashion Week just a few weeks away, I wanted to share my lookbook with you from last September. These were the outfits I attended shows, meetings and parties in, most of which are from Boohoo.com! Check out all of the details below.
This September fashion week was go-go-go with shows, meetings and lots of trendspotting which we are getting into now! So if you are here for the fashion, this post is for you!
Mommy + Me Outfits
This trend actually made an appearance at a few of the shows I attended, but my favorites were by KavenLiu DIMOR presented at the NOLCHA shows. Each piece just matched seamlessly and was both stylish and age-appropriate for child and mom which I love! – Usually one looks off. Amazing job on this entire collection!

Have you ever wanted to go on a short camping trip in a remote space, but want a cozy bed and private shower? Well I have been wanted a camping experience just like this and was SO excited when Getaway reached out to me! First of all, I didn’t know we had one in Texas and so close, at just 3 hours from Houston! For us, this is the perfect amount of miles for a road trip, and did I mention they are pet friendly?! Yep that’s right! This is the ideal trip to take with your fur babies. So let’s dive in to the stay!
Check In & Communication
Getaway Dallas is located on 99 acres so you feel as if you have the forest to yourself to explore. There is no need to stop at a front desk to check in or out as everything is provided to you via email and text message including your key code to unlock the front door of your cabin! If you ever need anything, all you have to do is text and they will send a team member out to your cabin.
This was my second February Fashion Week to attend so I learned for year one that the chances of rain are high…as is wind and chilly temps, so I came prepared! Here I will share a glimpse at the looks that I brought all from Boohoo, and all packed in a single carry-on per usual – enjoy!
