Why Black Skinny Jeans are Still My Go-To Denim for Travel, Featuring Mott & Bow

A white woman stands on the ledge of a fountain wearing a black top, black jeans, a grey sweater blazer, and black oxfords. In the background is the Charlotte skyline

Yes, yes, skinny jeans are no longer de rigueur, but that doesn’t mean they deserve to be banished from your wardrobe entirely (and let’s be real, does anyone truly follow every fleeting trend to the letter?). And despite the “throw out your skinny jeans” rhetoric on social media, clothing isn’t disposable—if you’re considering parting ways …

Choosing the Right Jewelry for Travel, Featuring GLDN

Alyssa stands in a beam of sunshine, wearing a navy silk short sleeve dress, and a pendant necklace with two mini hoops in her right ear. She is pulling her hair out of the way and smiling downward

When we pack for a trip, we largely consider the essentials: IDs, cards, and currency. Medication. Clothing. Shoes. Toiletries. But we often leave one category for last, if we even consider it at all: Jewelry. Just because something is small doesn’t mean it should be an afterthought. The jewelry we choose to pack and wear …

Is This the Best Boot for Travel? A Review of the Eva Everyday Chelsea Boot from Nisolo

Alyssa is standing on rocks wearing black pants, black boots. It's a close up shot of her calves and feet, and the Golden Gate Bridge is visible in the background.

I recently had the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for work—but one of the stipulations was that I could only bring what would fit in my personal item on the plane (the bag that fits under the seat in front of you). I’m no stranger to packing light and knew that I could pull …

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. Maybe you have even browsed their website before, admiring their beautiful, minimal products that all noticeably lack a brand name or label (garment tags simply read, “MADE FOR ITALIC”). And maybe you …

Packing List Essentials: A Review of the Silk Travel Set from CALPAK

Alyssa wears the CALPAK silk eye mask

It’s no secret that our quality of sleep declines when we travel, and while we may not be able to rewire our brains to combat the “first-night effect” (let alone sleep well in an airplane’s ever-diminishing coach seat), there are a few products currently available on the market whose sole purpose is to help us …

My Flight Got Canceled and All I Had To Wear Was This Dress

Alyssa standing in front of a graffiti wall in a blue dress with a white tee underneath

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. Due to the unfortunate combination of non-existent federal regulations requiring airlines to support passengers in the event of a cancelation and my decision to fly a budget airline, …
