Italic Is a New Marketplace for Home and Away

Two images sourced from Italic

If you’ve been anywhere on the internet lately, you may have heard of Italic – the brand that, well, isn’t really a brand.

Whether or not you believe that skinny jeans are “out” I think we can all agree that it’s exciting to see other denim cuts on the racks at both high-end retailers and Walmart (and everything in between). I’ve enjoyed wearing my wide-leg canvas pants for a few seasons now, but I haven’t given wide-leg denim …

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that my three-day weekend getaway unexpectedly turned into a six-day stay in Raleigh thanks to Hurricane Dorian.

Flatlay with shave soap, powder dry shampoo, toothpaste tabs, and solid cologne

Of the many, many TSA regulations, the 3-1-1 rule about liquids is one of the most unnecessary, arbitrary rules you’ll encounter while traveling. How much time has been lost while staring at bath and body products the night before a trip, debating if the item in front of us is liquid or a solid? And …

Michael’s answer to where he wanted to go for his birthday was the same as last year: “The beach.” “Are you sure?” I asked. “Absolutely,” he replied, and off I went exploring both of Florida’s coasts on Airbnb. I compiled a short list of places to stay, and he chose a small studio in John’s …
