    Trendy Travel Tips – Attention All Summer Backpackers: Europe Just Got Accessible (Again!)

    June 14th // 2 Comments

    Thanks to three tech-y new hotels, seeing Europe on a dime just got a whole lot easier—and way chicer!

    In Amsterdam: CitizenM

    Two locations, one near the airport and one in the city center, make this mini chainlet not only one of the cities most affordable options, but also its most strategically placed. Rates start at $109 for a single room with a private bath and free wi-fi.

    In London: Yotel



    What technically started as a refresher stop for business travelers going through Heathrow and Gatwick airports has actually become a great option for budget-minded travelers just looking for a nap and a quick shower. For $36, you get a teensy capsule room—only 75 square feet—with a bed, shower, and workstation for four hours—each additional hour after that is $10.

    In Maastricht: Qbic

    The second location of this completely self-service hotel opens later this year—the original is in Amsterdam. You check yourself in at kiosks that work just like the ones in your local airport, and use your key card to purchase everything from organic snacks to items you forgot to pack for the duration of your stay. $91 gets you a tiny capsule room with private bath and access to the fitness facilities.

    What to pack:

    Women: Favorite crewneck T - heather gray


    Gap cotton tees, $14.50 available at Gap.com

    Women: Converse Chuck Taylor&#174 All Star&#174 lo - black


    Converse, $50 available at Gap.com

    Xhilaration swimsuit, $29.99 available at Target.com

    Happy travels,
    Loren

    Fashion Tips – How do I wear my Twilly? Oh, let me count the ways…

    June 13th // Comment Here

    Have you ever had one of those fashion moments where you rediscover something you’d forgotten you owned—and it brings you just as much enjoyment as if you’d bought it all over again? Well, that’s exactly what I went through with my Twilly. The thin little silk scarf had slipped between my drawers and in a bought of spring cleaning I found it again. The brilliance of the Twilly—which is technically a fun name for a long, narrow silk scarf—is that it’s completely versatile, and works as the perfect splash of color wherever you need it. And men, don’t think you’re excluded from enjoying this preppy summer accessory! Here, my four favorite ways to wear a Twilly. Enjoy!

    Like a loose summer scarf (perfect for guys too!):

    Fashion Challenge – Paris Hilton Makes the Stirrup Pant Work!

    June 12th // Comment Here

    Stirrup pants are one of those trendy items that’s overtly tricky: What do you wear with them to make the overall effect look hip? One answer, it turns out, is ballet flats and a drapey sweatshirt, as demonstrated by Paris Hilton (shown here traveling with her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt, in May). Another way she gets it right: Keeping everything in dark shades of black and charcoal.

    Your turn: Would you ever wear stirrup pants – and if so, with what?
