Balancing Act

Maison Scotch Top / Frame Jeans / Mansur Gavriel Tote / Vintage Booties (similar)

A big factor when I'm traveling (and for life in general) is finding pieces that balance comfort and style. These Frame jeans were my heaven while traveling to four cities in two weeks on #avveurotrip. Soft as butter and oversized fit gave them that sweatpant feel without looking disheveled. To stay cool, I loved pairing the jeans with airy tops like this Maison Scotch. Super thin cotton and intricate embroidery breathed some life into the look both figuratively and literally. I finished off the look with these amazing western-inspired, vintage mules and malleable leather tote. Shop the links above for a look that not only looks good but feels good, too.

La Boqueria

Edith A Miller Top & Shorts (similar) / Miista Booties / Mansur Gavriel Bag

One of the "go-to" spots while visiting Barcelona is La Boqueria (the market). The main market in town is chock-full of fresh produce, meats, cheeses, you name it!  I decided to play up the beautiful display of fresh colors by sporting a red and white look. I'm not usually big on color but red is a favorite pop and fun shade to throw into the mix when traveling somewhere sunny. I was head over heels obsessed with each piece in this look. The super-soft, ribbed, knit top and bottom by a brand that knows a good stripe, the perfect bucket bag, and a fun red bootie all combine for a comfy but festive look. Perfect for traveling in warmer weather I'd say :) Definitely add this market to your list (even if only for the photo ops) BUT do not bring a bag. It's pick-pocket city. The first of many tips and tricks to come on my posts of Barça. Enjoy!

Currently Obsessed: Bucket Bags

Yves Saint Laurent vintage purse / MANSUR GAVRIEL leather purse / Niclaire leather tote / Isaac Mizrahi shoulder bag / French Connection handbag / Deena Ozzy black handbag / Mango faux leather bag / Red handbag / Old Navy cell phone purse

Lately, I have been OBSESSED with bucket bags. They are so easy/functional and come in all shapes and sizes. I thought it would be fun to create this collage so you could find the right bucket bag for your style AND your budget. While there are many style categories that could work for bucket bags, these are my top three genres that never let me down. Hope you enjoy!
