Because fashion should be a force for good

  • What an adventure the past two months have been! Although it is bittersweet that our trip has come to an end, I’m ready to get back into a rhythm. I had plenty of time to think and write while we were gone - thanks to losing my phone - and look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, if you have questions about traveling (with or without an infant) feel free to comment below.
  • Paris. I’ve visited this city more times than I can count, but nonetheless I’m always captivated by her beauty. And although Montmartre is overrun with tourists these days, it’s still one of my places to stay. 💕
  • I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July! We spent the day exploring Aveiro. A very quaint town known as the Venice of Portugal. I found this colorful two-piece set in a vintage store in Porto - $15! When I looked at the tag to see where it was from, it said “Provence Cote d’Azure.” How fitting!
  • One week from today we’ll be headed back home. In some ways, I’m more than ready to get back to our little corner of the world. Back to our regular routine, and spending time with friends and family. The end of this trip, however, also signifies a next phase of life with Atlas. He turns one in August, and my infant will soon be a toddler. He’s changed so much in the time we’ve been abroad, and it has been wonderful for our family to have this time together. Truly the best part of this trip has been seeing the joy he has brought to so many strangers.
  • I recent heard a compelling Mark Twain quote which led me to write some personal thoughts on travel, faith, and understanding. It would mean a lot if you took the time to read -link is in the bio. 💙
  • If I had to sum up the most versatile (and comfortable) travel outfit, this would be it. - LBD because it hides stains, wrinkles, and can effortlessly go from day to night. My @shopgallagher dress has the right amount of chic and functionality. - Comfortable yet stylish shoes. Tennis shoes are having a big moment in fashion, but I prefer a more low key, neutral pair. As I’ve said before, these @nisoloshoes have been a lifesaver on this trip. - Statement earrings. When you’re traveling, accessories can really make the outfit. I can always count on my @mollyvirginiamade earrings to do the trick. - Shawl in your color of choice. They are the most versatile thing, IMHO. I’ve used them as a nursing cover to a beach blanket.
  • Yesterday was the first time the temperature reached over 70 degrees since we’ve been in Porto. Naturally, I threw on a sundress and off we went exploring. One thing I’ve really enjoyed about staying in one place for an extended amount of time is being able to dig in and immerse ourselves in the culture. Our exploring led us to this beautiful garden which is known as the Crystal Palace. Not much is left of the palace, but the gardens and grounds are a sight to behold. 💕 . . . . . . . . . #sustainablychic #havebabywilltravel #pursuepretty #summer2019 #summerstyle #ethicalstyle #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalfashion #travel_captures #travelstyle #yellowdress #porto #portugal #crystalpalaceporto
  • Portugal has some very talented jewelry designers, and when I saw these handmade pearl and flower earrings, I knew they were something I’d wear for years to come. I’m hoping to put together a list of my favorite Portuguese jewelry designers in a blog post. Side note: these @everlane pants have been in constant rotation on this trip. As I’ve said before, I think they’re the most comfortable and flattering pant out there. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sustainablychic #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicalmomstyle #sustainablestyle #artisanmade #everlane #porto #travelstyle #travel_captures #pursuepretty #portugaltravel #portuguesestyle
