HOLIDAY RULES
What Is Your City Style?
I would say my city style is a little bit all over the place. Living in South Carolina, I love to keep it very simple and always lean toward throwing on a pair of cowboy boots, so I try and incorporate that when I’m in the city! Normally that involves some sort of parachute pants with a crop top or some comfy low-waisted jeans and a simple New Balance sneaker!
How Do You Stay in Shape while Travelling?
I love using the app ClassPass because it helps me no matter where I am to find some sort of pilates class, which is my favourite kind of workout! I feel my best when I stay in a routine even when I’m travelling because to me consistency is something that helps my mental health when it seems I’m always on the go!!
Your Packing Advice?
Learning to use packing cubes efficiently has been such a game changer for me because I used to feel like I needed to have 1 million suitcases to fit everything but it’s crazy that the cubes can condense things – sometimes even a carry-on! Spending that little bit of money on them goes a long way!
Skincare Tips When Traveling?
Being consistent with my skincare, even if that means having to pack a larger bottle or investing in travel-size tubes or containers. I know a couple of products that I keep with me no matter where I am, and I do think that staying consistent with them, especially when being jet-lagged and in new time zones, helps me.
Favourite Hotel?
My favourite hotel is the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood. It’s been tradition for me for the last two years to stay there, and it’s been something that has healed my relationship with LA and made my trips something to look forward to. I feel it’s a unique hotel in Los Angeles, and I feel very at peace there!
Top Spa and Best Treatment?
Attain Med Spa in Charleston, South Carolina is my favourite. Especially Shelby, a BSN/RN who works there, has helped me and my sister transform our skin by giving us amazing, amazing monthly hydra facials! With so much heavy makeup on my face, I try and focus on facials! I also love Face Gym in West Hollywood because it has a nice lymphatic drainage massage that helps with any inflammation or puffiness on my face.
Favourite Restaurants?
Where I live in Charleston, my favourite restaurant is Darling Oysters or Franny & the Fox. It is very homey seafood with oysters (my favourite food), so on my weekends (or any day) you can find me there at the oyster shucking table!
Where Do You Love to Shop?
Honestly, it just depends but I would say some of my favourite places to shop would be Kith, Essentials, Motel Rocks, Madewell, Zara, Reformation, Ralph Lauren, Levi’s, or Are you Ami!
What Is Your Airport Style?
It honestly depends – I would say if I’m leaving to head on a trip, I try and style my outfits out whether it’s a matching sweat suit or something with a fun leather jacket. But normally by the end of a trip, it’s whatever clean clothes I have left, which sometimes can be mixed and matched with a baseball hat to try and hide myself in my embarrassing outfit!
Do You Have Any Beauty Tips for Flying?
If I’m feeling up for it, I love to have an eye mask or sheet mask on the plane with me! I always have super dry skin and get very inflamed and puffy after a flight, so bringing my gua sha and a face mask for extra hydration is so helpful!!
Packing Essentials?
Packing cubes, full skincare (even if it makes my bag overweight, it is so worth it), walking shoes, Advil, sweatpants, jeans, and a trucker hat!!! Where Is Next on Your Travel Bucket List?
The Maldives & Thailand are next on my list! I have always dreamed of going to these places with my mom and being able to explore a whole new part of the world that I’ve never been to! They look absolutely beautiful, and I would love to experience the culture!
