As much as I like travelling to adventurous locations, TBH, I’m not one for adventure travel. So just because I’m staying on Laucala (pronounced “Lothala”) Island, 40 minutes from Fiji’s diving wonder, the Great White Wall, doesn’t mean I’ll take up diving. But on day three of my trip, I find myself holding hands with […]

It’s a crisp spring morning when I arrive at Ballyfin Demesne. From the moment I pull up to the estate’s grand gates and long, winding driveway, I feel instantly swept away from the bustle of modern life and ensconced in a bygone era of tradition, romance and luxury. I spy hares and pheasants as well […]

Sometimes, to get out of that summer slump, all you have to […]

Summer is still in full swing, but the threat of fall is looming. As the sun begins to set on the season, we have our eye on an exotic new romance: Mexico City. Charming and sophisticated, Mexico City is also unexpectedly chill (seriously, it rivals the laid back beach resorts that tourists usually choose). Complicated, […]

Ibiza is everything its hedonistic reputation would have you believe. I first visited the island in 2009, and during my weekend there, I went to Space Opening Fiesta, the legendary summer launch party for one of the biggest nightclubs on the island—think thousands of shiny, happy people dancing from two in the afternoon until, well, […]

On our honeymoon, my husband and I had a fancy over-the-water suite booked at a sleepy resort in the Philippines, the rewarding finale to a trip where we mostly slept in beachside huts. Two nights into our five-night stay, we fell victim to cabin fever and planned an escape, abandoning the resort in favour of […]

When your daily life includes starring in Justin Bieber music videos, strutting down catwalks and scoring major fashion campaigns, it’s easy to imagine that a well-deserved vacation is in order. For Portuguese supermodel Sara Sampaio, even a super-busy schedule won’t get in the way of some quality R&R as the temperature rises. As a Victoria’s Secret model […]

When it comes to beach travel, my typical checklist is a little unimaginative (think: quality restaurants, good nightlife, beautiful beaches and modern gym facilities). But this year I wanted to step outside my comfort zone—go off the usual vacation grid, disconnect from my screens and get Zen with some relaxing meditation. Toronto-based travel agency Room […]

A photo posted by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on Feb 21, 2014 at 6:14pm PST The joys of travel include, but are certainly not limited to: indulging in new cuisines, a fairer climate, a culturally rich experience, exchanging pleasantries in different languages, a new and exciting and/or relaxing day-to-day routine…and the list goes on. There can be […]

The whole month. That includes some of our favourite runway makeup artists and hairstylists like Charlotte Tilbury and Sam McKnight. In fact, right now many of them are poolside, having dinner al fresco with friends, […]

When it comes to summer vacations, we all share the same fear of overweight luggage bills. From the moment we pull the suitcase out of the closet we’re considering how many purses we can qualify as necessary with and whether we can survive on just four pairs of shoes. Vacations are supposed to be blissfully stress-free and yet the packing blues have us in a rut.

For those of us heading beach destinations, the warm temperatures call for light, carefree pieces. Beyoncé has us convinced that she knows how to pack light. The starlet turned to Tumblr to document her recent beach vacation in which she’s seen rocking a variety of one-pieces (in kaleidoscopic prints, we might add) and flow-y bohemian blouses. For those planning a sightseeing vacation, packing light becomes increasingly more challenging. Comfort is key for those who plan to be on their feet all day. Rihanna was recently spotted out and about in London in a cool white-on-white ensemble which she paired with a leather visor, showing us she’s not letting the hot European sun put a damper on her vacation plans.

Still weary on how to pack light? We’ve turned to our style panel for more packing dos and don’ts.

I swear it has snowed every single day for the past 2 weeks! I almost broke my wrist on the walk (or should I say skate) to work this morning and my skin has been glazed with an oh-so-glamorous crackled paint finish. Time to hit the beach. This week will be dedicated to dreams of a stylish, south of the border escape. First up, these amazingly affordable brightly hued mix ‘n’ match separates from Old Navy. ($18 each, Oldnavy.ca)
