Welcome to Travel Crush Tuesday!
If there's one thing we love as much as traveling, it's traveling in style This week's Travel Crush Tuesday is all about fashion and travel. Read on for her tips on traveling and looking good doing it!
Tell us about yourself! Who are you? Where are you from? What do you do? What inspires you to travel?
My name is Talecia. I’m a fashion stylist based in Toronto, Canada. I work with entrepreneur women who are looking to attract their ideal clients by elevating their style. I’m of Jamaican ancestry and love my culture. What inspires me to travel is the little girl inside me! I’m on a healing and growth journey to heal the girl inside me that didn’t get the love and support needed when growing up. I want to show her the world that she was taught to be afraid of!
Has your style ever gotten you any travel perks? If so what were they?
I get many compliments when I travel, but no perks YET! I have 4 more trips left for the year so let’s see what happens!
What are your tips for planning the ultimate vacation wardrobe?
Depending on the country and kind of girl you are, I would say pack for every occasion because you never know. For a 7-Day Caribbean getaway, I suggest packing using the 7,5,3,1 rule. 7 relaxing but elevated causal looks to go around in, 5 dressier looks to wear for the evenings, 3 swimsuit looks, and 1 all-white look because there is always an all-white party happening in the Caribbean! Also, bring a bag for dirty clothes and a travel steamer, so your looks are wrinkle-free.
What's your best travel hack for over-packers?
I overpack as well, but I suggest rolling your items tightly. It sounds crazy, but it works each time. Also, try to plan the outfits beforehand to eliminate unnecessary pieces. Do you really need all 5 kimonos? Lol
What is the go-to clothing item that you can't travel without?
I can’t travel without shorts or slides when I go somewhere hot. I get hot quickly, so shorts & slides allow my skin to breathe!
