My dad is an avid traveler, and has thankfully always brought my mom, brother, and myself along for the--sometimes very long, ride. Together we've traveled to 25 countries and counting! With that many trips, we were bound to run into just about every kind of travel headache. We've had lost luggage, missed connections, broken suitcases, been at the wrong airport, etc., etc. Here is a list of the 6 most common travel mistakes my friends and family have made: 1. Not traveling somewhere because you don't speak the native languageYou would be amazed at how easy it is to get around most places by just speaking English. If you are going to a popular tourist destination, like Rome or Paris, you will have no trouble finding people who can speak English with you. And even if you are traveling to a lesser-known area, you will be able to come up with creative ways to communicate to non-English speakers. In China, all of the menus had … [Read more...]
White Jeans
I love white jeans in the summer! There is something so preppy and chic about them. In my eyes, they go with absolutely everything! Today, I paired them with this adorable Lilly Pulitzer top, nude Steve Madden heels, and a white Kate Spade bag. I love this outfit; it's the perfect look for grabbing brunch with some girlfriends! Check out the "Shop this look" section for my exact jeans and shoes. Both are such a steal!! Jeans and shoes are both under $50! Unfortunately my top is from last season, and is no longer available, but I've found some great alternatives that are equally as fabulous!

Bachelorette Romper
I am heading to St. Louis for my bachelorette party this weekend, and I am getting so excited!! When trying to find the perfect outfit for the big night out, I was assuming I'd end up in a dress. There was only one problem with me wearing a dress--it would mean I couldn't ride the mechanical bull in Ball Park Village! I thought about a simple pair of shorts, but wanted something a little more special. When I found this ruffle Bardot romper I knew I was done looking. It was perfect!! The ruffle added just the right amount of flirtiness to this all-white look. I've paired it with my nude Steve Madden strappy heels (I've been wearing these so much this summer), and my grandma's vintage red Chanel bag. The red bag adds such a fun pop of color. I love this look, and will definitely be repeating it for date-night after the bachelorette. Shop the size: Romper-Small | Shoes-8.5 Shop the look: … [Read more...]
Summer Dress
I adore this Gianni Bini dress! I thought it would be the perfect outfit to bring on my honeymoon this August. We are headed to Italy, and I thought the white and blue together looked very Mediterranean. It is simple and sexy with its off the shoulder top and bodycon fit. I've paired it with nude strappy heels, and a white bag. You could easily swap out the heels for a flat sandal for a more casual look! My heels are Nine West and last season's, soI've linked to a very similar Jessica Simpson pair below (equally fabulous). They even come in a bright blue that would look amazing with this dress.
