My Ultimate Carry-On Packing Guide
I really respect people who can travel with just a carry-on, but I am not one of them! Even just a weekend up to see my folks involves checked-in luggage, hand luggage and a handbag. I’m not a light packer. And when it comes to long-haul travel, I’m even worse! I blame my heavy-handed packing […]

What to Pack for 36 Hours in New York
If you grew up watching Sex & The City like I did, you’d be forgiven for believing everyone in New York to be impossibly stylish, waltzing the streets in sky-high heels and tutus.

What to Shop for at Sephora: The Cult Must-Have Products
I’m not really a big one for shopping when I travel. I honestly plan so much of my trips around eating that there’s hardly any time (or tbh, money) left for shopping. But if there’s one store I always make sure to visit between gaining 10-15 kg’s, it’s Sephora. The holy grail of beauty shopping, […]

What to Pack for a Road Trip in South Africa
With thousands of kilometres of (relatively) well-maintained roads, beautiful landscapes, diverse scenery and idyllic towns, South Africa is the road tripper’s dream destination.

15 One-Piece Swimsuits You Need This Summer
I personally love a one-piece swimsuit. And not just because I’ve given my life over to carbs. I just really love the look (a kind-of mysterious sexiness) and I think one-pieces are far more comfortable than bikinis. People often ask me where I shop my cute one-piece suits, and this year we’re all in luck […]

What to Pack for Summer in Cape Town
The weather in Cape Town is, in a word, unpredictable. Which makes packing for your first visit kind of confusing. Add to that the fact that many visitors think it’s not-stop safari as soon as they land and you’ve got way too much khaki and not nearly enough cute dresses on your hands. The reality […]
