Could I pack lighter? Yes.
Will I? The evidence suggests otherwise. 😮💨
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Overpacking is genuinely one of my biggest travel shortcomings.
I simply cannot travel anywhere with a carry-on only. Weekend getaway? Beach vacation? Summer in Europe?
Doesn’t matter where or for how long… I will absolutely be arriving with 1–2 checked bags and *so many* regrets as I drag them across cobblestone streets.
I love travel style so much that my wardrobe is essentially costumes. I have the perfect outfit for a small fishing village in the south of France but “nothing to wear” at home.
Beach Kiki, boat Kiki, Paris Kiki, Cotswolds Liki, hiking Kiki, fancy dinner Kiki… they’re all coming and they each packed separately.

Anyways, if this speaks to you, I’ve linked my most-asked-about outfits from our summer in Europe on my LTK!

I fear I’ve found my new uniform 🤍

@wearhuha has been mastering the underwear game for years, so when they told me they were taking that same approach to comfort and bringing it to an entire Softwear collection… obviously I needed in.
And as the name implies, it’s VERY soft.
The whole collection is made with lightweight, breathable TENCEL™ Modal derived from trees, with that drapey, barely-there feeling that makes it comfortable enough for around the house, but polished and put together enough to wear out and about or travelling.
And because it’s Huha, there are thoughtful little details too—the tank I’m wearing has their signature zinc oxide technology knit into the lining to help keep it fresher for longer.
Basically: feels like pajamas, but I can actually leave the house in it. My favorite category of clothing!
Softwear drops September 25th! ✨

A quieter, more design-forward side of Santorini 🤍
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Stayed at @andronisconcept in Imerovigli and loved this take on Santorini luxury.
Think incredible caldera views, beautiful minimalist design, private pools, sunset dinners and that quiet, tucked-away feeling that makes it very hard to leave.
Definitely one to save if you’re planning a trip to Santorini and want something a little different from the classic Santorini experience.

All-terrain tanning 😂

In case you missed the memo, “beach day” has a slightly different definition in Europe.
Worth it every time though!

Hi Kiersten!
I’m a student at Florida State University currently planning a study abroad trip for the summer of 2016 in Florence, Italy. First off, I absolutely love your website! I’m a Pinterest addict and I’ve visited dozens of travel blogs and yours is by far my favorite. You wouldn’t believe the shock I experienced when I came across your post on gluten free food. Having Celiac Disease I have no choice but to eat gluten free, which worries me about being abroad. I visited Italy a few years ago and also witnessed the accommodations for gluten free options. I am excited to get back and try out this place!
Thanks!
Kate
That’s so wonderful to hear! I was shocked by how celiac friendly Italy is! Many Italians are celiac apparently. I actually just posted another article on gluten-free travel. Hope it helps! https://theblondeabroad.com/2015/01/06/10-helpful-tips-gluten-free-travelers/
This is perfect! I have family from Naples, Italy, it is very common! Thanks again,
Kate
