When I travel anywhere, I tend to do a bit of thrift shopping. I think one of the reasons I pack a carry-on bag like a pro is because I want to make sure I have enough room for any thrifted items I bring back home. So when I went to Finland a few weeks ago {Helsinki and then Turku}, I wasn’t really sure if I’d have time to hit up a thrift store, but as soon as I arrived in Turku, Finland’s oldest city, I immediately spotted...

I have a confession: I don’t love online shopping. I’m more of an in-store shopper. I like to touch and feel and more importantly, try things on so I know if the sizing is just right. Returns are just such a hassle. Every now and then I’ll find some online winners, like the cute swimsuits from my Zaful haul. But there can also be some misses, like my shopping review for Wish.com.

I have a thing for vintage shopping. Well, that’s clearly not a surprise. But I particularly love styling vintage pieces in a way that’s modern and even on trend. Why? Because sometimes vintage gets such a bad rap for being equated with outdated. But it’s super easy to style clothes that are decades old in a way that’s current. A few years ago I rocked these high waisted vintage pants with an edgy vibe and now, I’m doing the same with a suit. You might remember this from a...
