My Collections

21 days in Portugal. One carry-on. Here's every piece I actually wore — and what I packed for both kids in their own carry-on. The secret: commit to a color scheme before you pack a single thing. Navy, cream, and a pop of terracotta photographed beautifully against the tiles. Blues are everything in Portugal. Bright colors for the Algarve. One linen shirt that I wore approximately every other day.

Lisbon outfit reality check: the hills are steep, the cobblestones are uneven, and you will walk 10 miles a day. Here's what actually works — navy sundress, linen shirt, Birkenstocks, crossbody bag. Blues look incredible against the tiles. Don't wear black in summer sun.

We are resort pool people at our core, and the Renaissance Esmeralda did not disappoint. Pools open until 10pm, a proper hot tub, and those Santa Rosa Mountains in the background while the kids wore themselves out on the lazy river — this is spring break done right. This is my full resort day edit: everything from the swim to the cover-up to what I'm carrying to the pool. Nothing over $150, and nothing you won't wear again all summer.

Joshua Tree with kids is genuinely one of the best hiking days you can have — if you go in the right order. We did Hidden Valley first (the boulder scrambles are made for kids), then Skull Rock, Arch Rock, and ended at Cholla Cactus Garden on the drive back. My son was completely in his element. The desert in March is peak hiking season — warm but not punishing. This is what I'd pack for the trail: functional enough for the rocks, cute enough for the Instagram-worthy Joshua Tree landscape that you will absolutely stop to photograph every five minutes.

Here's the spring packing problem nobody talks about: you check the forecast, it says 75°, and you leave the layers at home. Then you're in a gondola going up a mountain and it's actually snowing at the top. That's exactly what happened on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway — desert heat at the bottom, pine trees and snow at the top, in under ten minutes. Best experience of the trip. Completely unprepared outfit-wise on our first instinct. This is the layering formula I'd use again for any spring trip where the weather could go either way: a Varley or Alo performance base, a Vuori hoodie that doesn't look like a gym hoodie, and a packable puffer that compresses into its own pocket and lives at the bottom of your bag until you need it. Sambas or a low trail shoe that works for both the walk and dinner after. The whole system packs flat. You'll use every piece.
