Your Next Vacay Style Guide
To slay or not to slay on vacay?! I trust you know the answer to that…slay duh! If you’re someone who cares about the fashion and fits while on vacation, then you’ve come to the right place. There’s something about styling outfits for a trip that adds to the excitement of traveling to a place overall. I love a vacation that’s equal parts adventure, social, dining and turn up. but choosing what to pack can easily be overwhelming. Especially if you end up waiting until the last minute, guilty.
I like to describe my style as bold (with colors, prints, texture, and design) and flirty (with silhouettes, fabrics, and lengths) with mix of high-low luxe pieces, when it comes to my wardrobe. My favorite type of vacations are coastal destinations mixed with a metropolitan vibe. Overall, my vacay style includes a mix of unique pieces, fun jewelry, colors, patterns, and staples. Below I list brands inclusive of Nigerian designers, woman owned fashion lines and staple brands that will have you feeling like the I-T-G-I-R-L on your next vacation!
