12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy June! I hope your Memorial weekend was just what you needed it to be. We had a great family weekend, good food, and got some things done around the house. I love that it’s the unofficial kick-off to Summer, and I am ready for it. How about you?

I leave with my good friends tomorrow on a business/Girls’ trip. In celebration of that, this week, I have had a Vacation series, sharing packing tips, vacation outfit ideas, swimsuits & cover-ups, and things you need on a trip. Sharing over on Instagram, in stories, On Like to know it, and on the blog.  Today on the blog, I am sharing 12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

12 Items to help you pack with ease and stay organized. These are all items I own and use every time I travel. If you know me or follow me, you know I love to travel/adventure.

I try to go somewhere once a month, even if it’s just a staycation. So I have tried out several organizations’ items and found these are the Best ones for me, and I think you’ll love them too.

12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

 

12 Travel Essentials 

1.  Cloth Jewelry zip organizer has clear pockets inside, plenty of hooks, and different sizes to hold your jewelry. I love that you can see everything; it is pretty flat, like a book.

2. Cord organizer I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand all my chargers and cords in a mess. This keeps them tidy.

3. Packing cubes and shoe bags are a must to stay organized and help you pack more without the mess. 💯 a must-have!

4.  Travel bottles with case TSA approved and great to take your favorite toiletries (Comes in several color options)

5. Belt bag by Lululemon is a must-have for hands-free and easy access to your items. Great for Airport, walking, and heading out sightseeing 

6.  Travel flat spray hand sanitizer Smells excellent and is so easy to carry

7.  Stanley 40oz Tumbler with handle easily fits all cup holders and keeps drinks hot or cold for hours. 

8. Compact Mirror with light and magnifying mirror. $8.99-12.99 It is flat and packs well. Identical to the mirror that advertises for $40 

9. 3 in 1 charger folds up compact and is great if you have many items that need to be charged.

10. Kusshi Makeup organizer The only makeup bag you’ll ever need!! It unzips all the way yet has a flat bottom to remain standing. You can see everything verse digging.  Washable and come in several sizes and colors. I love the customization organizer snap-in pouches! For brunches, pockets, etc.

11. Silicone makeup brush holder! Affordable and easy to use

12. Pill case organizers for pills and supplements. Compartments to keep tablets separated snap closer. I know you will love all of these items.

(I have all these and shared them on a reel in my feed and story highlights.

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Hello Pretty Ladies,

How did the start of daylight savings go for you? We’re up early. Today was no different, and it was snowing yet again. With that said, we decided to stay home and chill. By chill, I mean I stayed in pj’s, did a facial, read scriptures, and had a slow morning.

I did get the laundry done, Ben shoveled snow, and we made a big Asian dinner. I worked on social media, my Liketoknowit, and my blog. So, we had a productive day, even though it was quiet at home.

It was nice not having to get ready and having a relatively relaxing day. I leave for St George on Wednesday to meet my mom for Vintage Market days, Zion, and a little girl time. It’s been a couple of months since I’ve seen her, and I look forward to spending time with her. 

Spring is coming

With the first day of Spring coming in a couple of days, and Spring break coming up fast, I thought I would share some great basics from Chico’s. Easy to pack, wear traveling, and mix and match all Spring and Summer.

 

Chico’s Wardrobe Builders

They take you from Saturday style to Vacation mode with Chico’s  New Spring line. Their classic button-up in linen is perfect; you’ll wear it on repeat in white. Great over a bathing suit, paired with jeans, shorts, or worn over a tee shirt dress. It also comes in a stripe and several other colors. Girlfriend cropped jeans are a flattering jean style, similar to the boyfriend jeans with being as baggy. 

A  big Spring trend is the color combo Navy and kelly green. You’ll see these colors paired together in print and solids and mixing it up. See how I styled this trend in a couple of ways below. First, I paired some great essential pieces with trendy pieces to create a look you can wear at any age. 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

White Button up | Girlfriend Jeans| Tennis shoes| Bag

Classic Wardrobe outfit 

Every day or Saturday style is built with classic wardrobe builders with the New girlfriend cropped denim. It fits slimmer than a boyfriend s jeans yet is not a straight cut. Very flattering on every figure and has a cute little cuff.  It was perfectly paired with Chico’s white shirt button-up and darling leather tennis shoes. Finish the look with a chain-detailed crossbody bag for a little updated edge.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Stripped Top| Joggers| Linen Slides

Easy Travel Outfit

Trending colors this Spring Kelly green and blue make a great color combo. I paired this color combo for a vacation look and a resort wear outfit. I hope you love the results. Kelly green jeggings and a navy and white striped linen button-up make for a comfortable travel look.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Denim Jacket| Bathing Suit| Pants| Hat| Sunglasses| Bag

Resort wear or Poolside Outfit

Are you headed on a warm-weather vacation? These printed Ikat cropped pants pulled over a swimsuit (used as a body suit here) gave a seamless look, and paired with this two-toned denim jacket, the straw bag makes it easy to take from the pool to lunch.

If you’ve been following me or reading my blog, you know our family loves Sun Valley, Idaho, and we take two ski trips there a year and have for over 16 years. Ben and I go for Ben’s birthday, and then we take the family every March around Hampton’s birthday, Which is usually always around Spring break.

Today, I am sharing 7 Restaurants to try, In Sun Valley, Idaho, for you to try on your visit. These are some of our family’s favorites and repeaters for us. I hope you’ll love them as much as we do. 

7 Restaurants To Try In Sun Valley Idaho

A Little About Sun Val ey

Sun Valley is a great little ski town, home to two significant ski areas and a sister resort to Snow Basin in Eden, Ut. (where we live)  It’s in Ketchum, Idaho, with fun little shops and excellent restaurants. We love to stay at The Sun Valley Lodge. You can’t go wrong dining at any of the restaurants on their property, but I have included three of our favorites: The Konditorei, Gretchen’s, and Dutchin’s Lounge.

Konditorei

Fireside coffee and hot cocoa. Fresh-baked European pastries. Casual dining for breakfast and lunch, with an Austrian twist. This is a daily stop for us, as w  love, their breakfast, and we like to stop by for an afternoon coffee and treat. This is not to be missed.

Gretchen’s

Adjacent to the Sun Valley Lodge lobby, Gretchen’s and The Duchin Lounge provide an exceptional dining experience. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner are served daily At Gretchen’s.

Restaurants in Sun Valley

Saw Tooth Brewery -The Sawtooth Club has been the gathering place for Ketchum locals and visitors since 1987. And for a good reason! Always warm, comfortable, and welcoming, intimate yet lively. Rustic elegance and sophistication without pretension. The Sawtooth Club is in downtown Ketchum. Happy Hour is from 4:30-6:00. You should arrive at 4:30 for a seat. Dinner reservations are highly recommended.

7 Restaurants To Try In Sun Valley Idaho

The Celler Pub– A locals hang out, Good strong drinks (I like their Moscow mule), and a great happy hour. We always meet fun people and have great conversations. 

Lefty’s – A local’s hang out, not a touristy spot. Very casual and affordable sports bar serving Grill and bar food. Families welcome, and they have a couple of arcade games for kids to be entertained. It gets very crowded, and you could wait a while for food if you get there at peak hours. 

 

The Roundhouse

They were serving up sky-high lunches and dinners with breathtaking views.

Perched atop the Roundhouse Express gondola at 7,700 feet of elevation on Bald Mountain, The Roundhouse has served memorable meals, soul-warming drinks, and stunning views since 1939. The Roundhouse is America’s original on-mountain dining experience and offers the authentic charm of America’s etched elegance for which Sun Valley is known. Reservations are highly recommended. The view is worth the prices, which are on the higher end.

View Restaurant

Ketchum Starbucks– If you’re a Starbucks lover, this is a must-stop! Fun architecture with exciting history, including a vault and Hemingway art, not to mention great photo opportunities.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. Happy March! We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary over the weekend and have been trying to get into the swing of a new week. It’s been a harsh winter in Utah this year, and with Valentine’s over, I added some simple Spring touches to our home this week and shared over on the gram. You all loved it so much that I thought I would recap nine simple and affordable little touches you could add to your home for a spring feel.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh from my home tour🌿

Affordable and simple items to refresh little areas of your home! 9 things you can add to give your home a little refresh for Spring and add to the sense of sight & smell.

Shop the photo:

 

 

Adding Spring to the Kitchen area

If you’re like me, we’re primarily in our kitchens, and I like to start adding in the season here. You can make simple and affordable little changes that have a significant impact. I want to create tiny little vignettes for the seasons. For example, I start at my sink area and purchase new countertop cleaner, dish soap, and hand soap in a fresh scent of the season, add a new scrubber and a little silk pot of flowers, and a scented candle.  

The cleaners and soaps are $3.99-$2.99, adding such a spring impact for so little money. The stand you can use every season for under $20, and a new little wooden scrubber is $6; I think it’s a cute little detail. A little silk flower pot is $6-9.00, and you can find spring candles for $10. This Fresh linen and Sea salt candle smells so good. Fresh and clean for Spring.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Sink area- stand|Dish & Hand soap| Counter cleaner| Scrubber|Candle|Dish Towels

 

Spring Touches with color in mind

Add these cute striped ruffle dish towels, a Jute rug, Spring 40 oz Candle & candles, little birds, and silk flowers. To your space, please give it a fresh look and light up your room for Spring. Think lighter colors and colors of Spring that will work in your area. I choose yellow, green, white, and the natural color of jute. 

 

Fresh flowers bring the outdoors in

I love fresh flowers too. Something about fresh flowers that make your home feel like you’re bringing the outdoors in: if you have been following me for a while, you know a bouquet of fresh flowers is something I treat myself to every week. I love trader joe’s, Costco flowers, and our local flower shops.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Changing out your Rugs

Changing out your rugs can make a significant impact on your space. Removing heavier fabrics and replacing them with lighter, airier ones, like jute, give your room a softer feel. Rugs can range in price, and you can find reasonable ones at places like Target and home goods. But I love Boutique rugs, and they are always having a sale. This darling jute circle rug comes in several sizes. I chose the smaller size as I knew it would fit perfectly in front of my sink and fridge. The circle is a fun change instead of the usual rectangle shape. (I got the large round for my entryway. )

 

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

 

Spring Center Piece for your Kitchen Island

Spring centerpieces can be easy to create, from a bowl with fresh lemons and limes to a simple flower centerpiece. You can get creative and use a dough bowl to add a bird’s nest and birds or bunnies. Of course, spring candles and fresh flowers are always a favorite. I will share several more ways in feature posts and stories on the gram, so tune in over there.

 

An excellent coffee table decor book

The Cozy White Cottage Seasons coffee table decor book is one of my favorite home inspiration books, and this one has 100 ways to be cozy all year. 

 

Items I love to use for decor no matter the season

Vacation Mode Activated Cabana Life

Vacation Mode Activated Cabana LifeVacation Mode Activated Cabana Life

Hello pretty ladies. Spring is almost here, which means Summer is around the corner! This means Spending more time outdoors, and Beach & Lake Vacations are fast approaching. I love nothing more than spending time in the water. Whether poolside or beachside. Cabana Life resort wear is perfect for the whole family. Clothing that protects you, Spf 50, and UV ray protection. 

Cabana Life Clothing 

I love that Cabana Life clothing can take you from the beach to lunch. It’s fashionable and practical. Every piece travels well, along with not taking up much space. 

I love that every collection has a matching swimsuit, making packing easier. I took several pieces to Palm Beach, Florida, which helped me easily pack and organize my outfits—being able to mix and match some of the collections as well. Like in this outfit below: From the  Jetties Beach & Nantucket Collection. The colors work together even though the patterns are different. It makes for a fun combination. 

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns if the colors are the same. It works out great.

Shop the Photo:

 

The terry cloth tunics have long been one of my favorite pieces from Cabana Life. I love how you can wear it as a bathing suit cover-up and a dress…. But it’s even cute, worn as a tunic paired with linen pants. A very versatile piece that takes you from the pool to the street.

Fashion tip:

It’s always a good rule of thumb to think of 3 ways to wear a piece of clothing before purchasing it!

Vacation Mode Activated Cabana Life

I am wearing the Naples collection Rufftops Maxi skirt and triangle bikini top💙 The Maxi Skirts are fantastic with a white linen button-up and Cabana Life’s Accessories. Perfect for a lunch date or pull-on over a swimsuit. You can’t go wrong with this Skirt and a denim jacket on a fantastic night; it takes it from day to evening. The colors in this collection are the prettiest shade of blue.

Athleta Spring Haul Wardrobe Refresher

Athleta Spring Haul Wardrobe Refresher

"</p

Hello Pretty Ladies,

As you are reading this, I am on a little Ski trip with my husband for his birthday in Sun Valley. We needed this little break together, and I was looking forward to it as it’s one of my favorite trips. We return with the family in March for our annual ski trip, which is also a favorite time. But there’s just something about taking the time to spend time together as just a couple, wouldn’t you agree? 

Before we left town, I headed to Station Park to meet my friend Cammi at Cammi’s Happy Place for a little Athleta try-on, lunch at Twigs, and our Bookclub Live we did for Chico’s. Always fun to spend time with her and get a little work done. Business and pleasure, as they say.

Here’s a little peak at Athleta’s Spring arrivals 

Don’t you love a little workout wear refresher for Spring?🌿 I love a whole wardrobe refresher for Spring, but living in Utah, winter is long, and wearing Spring clothes will take a couple more months. But Spring workout- wear we can wear now, and let me tell you, adding in Spring wherever I can help add a little cheer to these cold dark days. Athlata seems to have workout wear that can quickly transition into streetwear. You can pair a sweater with jeans or an outer vest from the gym to grab coffee with a friend.

Come check out Athleta’s Spring pieces and do a little try-on with me. Below are a few fun NEW Spring pieces I loved and thought you would too💙🌿 as well as two spring shopping guides.

Athleta Spring workout wear

Hot Pink, fresh whites, and dark Sage green, along with Lavender and mauve, are the colors of Spring for Athleta this year—a fun, bright colorway for Spring. You can’t help but smile when walking into the store. Most of you know I am a neutral color-loving girl, but a pop of color says Spring to me. Especially green. 

"</p

Shop the Post: Tap on the photos below:

 

 

Athleta  Spring Fabrics and styles

Even though spring colors are a draw, the lighter-weight fabrics, easy-to-wear styles, and function are essential too. Athleta’s attention to detail, form, and function is on point. I love the flared yoga pants of the 1990s coming back in style; they are so flattering. Excellent layering pieces with drawstring waist details help jackets from looking boxy. COzy soft crew neck sweatshirt paired with loose white linen pants you’ll wear all Spring & Summer. You really can’t go wrong with any piece, and no matter the sport or lounging you want to do.

Athleta Basics

I no black isn’t very colorful, but it is a go-to basic, and I wanted to share my go-to pieces that you could wear year-round and add a little pop of color with just one item. You’ll wear this quilted vest repeatedly, making it a great streetwear piece.

Shop the photo:

 

"</p

A criss-cross sweater in Cobalt blue paired with flared leggings is a great transitioning Spring look, warm yet a fun pop of color. All the pieces I am wearing are TTS. I am in the med in both sets.

What DRESSES I am wearing as a 54 year old, this S What DRESSES I am wearing as a 54 year old, this Spring & Summer…

A little something for everyone…10 dresses & Styling ideas

-Ruffles & Bows
-Show a little leg
-Calf & Maxi length for those who don’t 
-Casual- Everyday-Workwear and -Travel
-Color- Neutrals and Print

A few style TIPs and the BIGGEST style mistake….

Just putting on the dress and not accessorizing …. Take NOTE of every look… Shoes, Bag, Jewlery and finishing accessories ✔️✔️✔️

Accessorizing can make or break your look… Styling doesn’t have to be hard or over the top… but it is something you don’t want to skip…

Changing your bag takes 3 minutes, picking a shoe can be an issue for some. Tip: pick a neutral sandal or heel, 1 good neutral sandal & Bag can work for all these looks. (I’ve linked several over on my blog and in stories) 

- A great gold or silver stack of bracelets, a favorite necklace and earrings will work if you are a minimalist..

If you’re a Maximalists like me😉 you’ll have a collection for every season, every “vibe” and several choices to change the looks….

You can be classic and chic, simple and elegant, boho and layered…. Just DON’T skip accessorizing😉

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
