When I first began compiling my packing list for my upcoming trip to Italy (separating things like electronics/adapters, the essentials like my passport and wallet, toiletries and sun protection, etc.) I took to social media for some inspiration and recommendations for when it came time to put together a chic but practical capsule wardrobe so […]
One of my favorite things about staying with Troy at his apartment in Orange County, other than spending quality time with him (obviously!) is that there are so many pristine common areas in his building where I can stretch out, relax, and either catch some sun or get some work and writing done.
