My Go-To Travel Outfit (And Some News!)
Hey gals, hope you had a wonderful weekend! I’ve been in hustle mode as we prep for another big trip…aaand surprise, we leave today! Headed on a two-week vacay with Blake’s fam (aunts, uncles, cousins…the works) through the UK, Ireland and Scotland…I am SO excited!!
As I’ve been traveling more frequently this year, I’ve gotten pretty darn good (…if I do say so myself!) at finding looks that are both comfortable for a 9+ hour flight and stylish. Give me joggers, a cozy tank + slip-on sneakers and I’m a happy camper at the airport!
A big thank you to Lou & Grey for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.
Happy weekend, loves! If you follow me on 
Ohh my heart! THIS. TRIP. My two best friends, so much laughter, the perfect setting…can we do it all over again?! See above? That’s Elissa, my bestie since age 15…we go waaaay back. She’s a flight attendant and used her magical powers to bring me and our other bestie (see below) Ben, to Barcelona, Spain for a week of pure bliss. We called this trip our “10-year-friendiversary” (…even though it’s been over 10 years now…any excuse to take a bff trip to Europe, right?). Ps. If you’re curious if we watched ‘Vicki, Cristina, Barcelona’ in preparation for this vacay, that answer is a definite yes. (I also watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants prior to Greece…no judgement, okay? 😉 ).
Ohh ya know, just a casual, jaw-drop stunning bougainvillea garden off the coast of Spain…I think that calls for a pit stop and photo sesh, don’t you? 😉 Sharing some snapshots from the most vivid backdrop, featuring THE cutest striped tiered dress during my travels last week…
Sorry for the radio silence on LL this week (…and my Insta feed), I’ve had a bad case of the flu that pretty much kicked my butt! Not going to lie, as awful as I’ve been feeling, I think it’s my body telling me to “cool muhh jets” and literally do a whole lotta n-o-t-h-i-n-g for a week straight. So! That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. Movie watching, Netflix and actual chilling (Masters of None is SO GOOD!), going to sleep at 6pm for the past five days straight. Blake has been the best care taker and sweetest husband…I definitely lucked out, he is a true gem!
Hey gals! Been a while since I’ve done a “5 Favorites” post here on LL. Throughout my Spain travels, I received a lot of questions about my favorite travel sandals (…in particular, who makes the ones I’m wearing above). Thus, today I’m excited share my go-to summer sandals for traveling (and everyday wear!). Though I normally share five faves, I narrowed my list down to just three because I’m pretty particular about my travel sandals…gotta make sure you can walk for miles in these! (…and I swear by each one below!).
There’s something about poppy red that has me swooning these days. It’s such a fun, happy color and it goes great with cognac accessories + shoes (which y’all know is a must for me! 😉 ). This little floral number is certain to be one of those adorable dresses on repeat this summer – my galpal Elissa and I rotated wearing it in Barcelona, ha! Such a breezy material and just makes you feel ultra good and feminine. It’s really the perfect dress from day to night and work to play!
