CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER
FAV PURCHASE - After my trip to St. Lucia I got A LOT of questions on how I traveled with multiple hats and my answer every time is TOPTOTE. These are one of the items I literally NEVER travel without. Essentially it’s this super-strong magnetic clip that attaches to your backpack, purse or even your carry-on! I stack my hats on top of one another, clip them together and boom you’re able to travel with your hat and don’t have to pack it. (Typically I put the hats on top of my rolling carry-on in the bin or slide them down next to me if I’m sitting in the window seat. You can see what these look like here. But TRUST these are worth every penny.
FAV READ - I feel like we all had a collective OMG moment when Amanda Gorman’s Vogue cover dropped this week but if you haven’t read it, take the time to do so. I firmly believe we will be hearing more and more about this trailblazer as the years go by.
FAV WATCH - I have always been a fan of Refinery 29’s original video content and World Wide Wed is no exception. It’s a digital series that showcases different wedding traditions from various cultures. I LOVED the glam and how you get a front-row seat to some of the most extravagant and interesting weddings.
FAV LISTEN - The Importance Of Pronouncing Names Correctly - from my favorite NPR podcast Life Kit. Listen it’s important.

Hi! I just booked a trip to Greece for this June to celebrate my wedding anniversary! We can only stay 8 days, and I would love suggestions for an itinerary, hotels and excursions! Thanks so much! - SABRINA
OMG GREECE! I’m thrilled to see that Greece plans to open its borders to foreign tourists this summer! My top 3 favorite islands would have to be Santorini, Mykonos and Rhodes. I’ve been to Santorini 3 times now and have put all my suggestions into this Destination Guide & Video (one of my first as a content creator lol don’t judge the suggestions are still great!). I would do 3 days on Santorini, 3 on Mykonos and 2 on Rhodes. If you’d like a more custom & in-depth itinerary you should totally reach out to my mom Linda who just so happens to be a luxury travel advisor ;)
If you’re subscribed to my newsletter, each week you’ll be able to ask me ANY question {travel related or otherwise} and I will pick one person each week to respond to!
