in the woods

This past weekend my family went on a 3 day camping trip to lake casitas in northern California, and let me just say that after spending two nights in the middle of nowhere with minimal reception and limited hygenic options - I was grateful I had prepared a princess camping kit; which I am glad to share with you all now. 

Princess Mini Camping Essentials 

* BB Cream: This handy product serves as daily sunblock all the while diminishing imperfections, leaving you with a beautiful effortless look that is perfect for a weekend getaway in the woods! Personally I prefer Garnier's Age Renewal BB Cream and Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream for acne prone skin.

*  Sunglasses: Not only does wearing sunglasses protect your eyes from the suns UV Rays - but it also upgrades your look from crusty to glam in a matter of seconds! #winning With or without makeup, as long as you keep your favorite shades in your back pocket, you are guaranteed to look fab. 

* Face Wipes: Typically when you go camping, you will find that there are few places and/or opportunities to wash you face and take a shower. Thus, it is of insurmountable importance that you bring a package of facial wipes with you to avoid going to bed with make-up on and maintain a fresh clean look at all times. Even if you do not plan on wearing make-up on your outdoor adventure - you must also consider the fact that you are spending a large amount of time surrounded by / sleeping in dirt, and you do not want your face to pay the consequences!!

*  Versatile Outfits: If there's one thing I know about camping, it is to always expect the unexpected. You are at the mercy of mother nature out there, and she doesn't always play nice. That is why it is super important that you pack cute, versatile outfits that can be worn in rain or shine! 

wish you the best out there in the woods babes, enjoy those s'mores!

traveling in style

As an experienced traveler- I've had the misfortune of dealing with the pains of overweight baggages, extraneous lay-overs, and TSA security fiascos! I don't understand how celebrities manage 12+ hours on a flight and still come off looking fresh as helllllllllll 
So I've compiled a list of travel friendly tips to keep you looking  fab on all your worldly endeavors ... despite untimely airport delays. 

Travel Tip #1: Less is more.
When flying/sailing/driving long distances, you'll find that comfort is of the utmost importance... but you don't always have to sacrifice your style to achieve the maximum level of comfort. Grab on your favorite pair of VS yoga tights and UGGs and lets go on an adventure ;)


Fashion Steal: @TheFlauntShop's leatherette leggings paired with and oversized top- this outfit is sure to keep you feeling comfortable without having to sacrifice style!













Travel Tip #2: Accessorize Appropriately 

One of my fondest memories at the airport is when I was flying to Hawaii for the summer and got frisked and searched by TSA officers for forgetting to remove my belt + toe ring (#guilty)
Avoid holding up the line and those dirty looks by opting for a simple, more comfortable style when traveling. 
That means no superfluous jewelry - instead go with a cute tote and bangin' shades. This will keep you looking chic without over doing it.


  
My travel favorites are Long Champ's "le pliage" large travel tote paired with large classic black Ray Ban sunglasses.





Travel Tip #3: Plan Ahead

If you know you're going to be traveling for over 2 hours - do yourself a favor a be prepared. Times are hard, and there really is no time to waste! Stop by your local bookstore and pick up a copy of one of your favorites (i.e. Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, Ernest Hemmingway's A Farewell to Arms, or John Green's A Fault in our stars) or invest in a pair of bedazzled headphones to enjoy all of your favorite tunes in style. 



If you're more of an artist, find yourself a leather bound journal to document all of your travel experiences - whether you choose to write a poem or recreate an image in a quick art sketch or detailed drawing, you can never go wrong by purchasing a cute + durable notebook. 

Travel Tip #4: Snack Wisely

I hate on-flight purchasing, especially when it comes to FOOD. Although the m&m's at the airport souvenir shop may look enticing - try to keep limited amount of sugary snacks while traveling. 

I have a major sweet tooth, so in order to keep my snacking to a minimum I always make sure to purchase snacks before hand and keep them in my carry on.


My favorite snacks include almonds, pomegranate seeds and kettle corn. 

You should also plan on purchasing a large water bottle to have with you throughout the flight. We all know the importance of H2O 









What are some of the ways you travel in style?

Hope you all find these tips beneficial


Wish you safe and memorable travels my loves,

xoxo
