Lindsay Silberman — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 12:26:45 +0000

As I attempted to pack for my trip to Kenya a few years ago, I was STRESSED.

There are few things that I love more than a getaway to a beach destination. Relaxing in a lounge chair while listening to the waves is honestly just hard to beat. With prime beach time just around the corner, I thought I’d put together my tried-and-true list of oceanside essentials. AKA: your all-inclusive beach vacation packing list!

Whether you’re on your feet long hours for work or you’re planning a trip where a lot of walking will be involved, it’s crucial to find a pair of comfortable shoes that won’t leave you in agony. The problem? Most of the “comfortable” footwear for women have not exactly been designed with aesthetics in mind. The good news is that a number of new (and more old-school brands) have super comfy shoes for standing for long periods of time—it just takes a bit of research to figure out which are the best. Below, you’ll find a number of different categories: the most comfortable sneakers for travel, comfortable booties for standing for long periods of time, comfortable dress shoes for work, comfortable sandals for walking, and the best shoes for nurses. I know that it can […]

34 Travel Essentials for Women: What I Like to Bring on Every Trip

Kara Thompson — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 10:21:00 +0000

After traveling to 57 countries, I think it’s safe to say I’m somewhat of an expert in the field. I’ve been on every type of trip, from an active safari to a relaxing Santorini escape, and have learned so much from those experiences. I get such a thrill from traveling and I feel so fortunate that my job has allowed me to do it regularly. On the other hand, I know how stressful traveling can be, especially if you’re always running late to the airport. I’m guilty of this and my husband truly can’t stand it (sorry Matt!) One of my greatest travel hacks, especially for a long haul flight, is to make sure you pack strategically. I’ve found that bringing the right items in your carry-on can make your travel experience much smoother, and […]

Travel Outfits: How to Look Chic When You’re Flying

Lindsay Silberman — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 18:00:00 +0000

Listen—I’m all about rocking a cute travel outfit when I’m heading out of town…but I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing heels to the airport. To be honest, jeans are not my first preference to wear on a plane (although I’ll occasionally make an exception if they’re REALLY comfortable jeans, or if my flight is under three hours.) Usually, you’ll find me in one of my favorite affordable cashmere sweaters during the winter, and lightweight loungewear set during the summer. I often see pictures of people at the airport posing next to their cute pink luggage wearing heels and a mini-dress… How is that even comfortable? When you’re en route to the airport (and your final destination) it’s all about feeling comfortable. For this reason, I’ve decided to put together a little guide to cute travel […]

What to Wear in St. Barths: Outfit Inspo & Packing Guide

Lindsay Silberman — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:20:00 +0000

So here’s the biggest misconception people have about what to wear in St. Barths—it’s not as fancy as you think! Sure, you’ll find women toting Birkins, but for the most part, the dress code is fairly casual. I always describe it as an “anything goes” kind of place. I’ll never forget on my first trip to the island, I got DECKED to go to lunch at this beachfront restaurant we’d heard amazing things about. Well, wouldn’t you know, when we walked in, the first person I saw was a hot French dude in his late 4os…barefoot and shirtless. In the restaurant. His feet were covered in sand and he was delicately eating a 30 euro Caprese salad. The best part? It wasn’t out of place or unusual. If anything, I was the one who felt […]

12 Toiletry Bags That Make Travel Easier

Kara Thompson — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:37:00 +0000

As someone who pretty much lives out of a suitcase, I totally get the struggle of finding the best toiletry bag for travel. You need something that’s large enough to hold all of your stuff, but not too large to fit into a carry-on. It should be durable, functional, and—in a dream scenario—also really cute to look at. From the leather case that’s easily misshapen, to the fabric that just doesn’t hold up when your face wash spills, it’s frustrating to buy something that doesn’t last. Even worse—it’s a major bummer when you arrive at your destination and find that all of your products have created a mess inside of your suitcase. Whether you prefer a hanging toiletry bag, a fancy designer dopp kit, or something ultralight and low maintenance, these 12 options will help […]

13 Travel Wallets to Keep Your Essentials Organized

Kara Thompson — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Keeping things organized and secure when you’re traveling is crucial—and I’ve found that having a great travel wallet helps. In my experience, the best travel wallets hold pretty much everything: your passport, credit cards, different types of currency, plane tickets, and a pen to fill out customs forms. If you’re the kind of person that’s consistently showing up to the airport frazzled and hoping that your passport is actually in your purse, it’s probably time to invest in a designated travel wallet. Below are 13 options—at every price point—that will help you say goodbye to pre-flight stress for good. The Best Travel Wallets for Women 1. Amazon’s Best-Selling Travel Wallet This wallet made my list because it has over 3,000 reviews on Amazon. People love that it holds all of their essentials without being too […]
