If there's one thing that grounds me amidst the bustling city life and vibrant urban fashion scene, it's my family and the beauty of nature.
This summer has been all about recharging my creative tank, so I can bring you the best in style and fashion. From exploring the wonders right in my backyard here in the Pacific Northwest to pausing for those precious moments with loved ones, I've found a deep sense of wonder in everything around me. And that wonder? It’s not just in the landscapes but within each of us. Discovering and highlighting the unique wonder in every person through styling is an absolute gift.
So, how do you stay trendy on the trails? Here are my top tips for styling your explorations in the great outdoors, from lakeside camping to coastal beach feels.
TIP NO. ONE
Cover up, buttercup.
Embrace chic sun protection with wide-brimmed hats, stylish sunglasses, and lightweight, long-sleeve tops. Not only will you look effortlessly elegant, but you’ll also shield your skin from those harsh rays. Personally, I have been living in my all my Heidi Merrick Swimwear. Keeping my skin safe, and sun protected while staying in style. Shop my current favorite The Biana Suit here. Use code renee10 for a little love at checkout.
TIP NO. TWO
Keep it compact.
Invest in a versatile, durable bag that can handle all your essentials. Find something you can take everywhere. Whether it’s a trendy backpack or a spacious tote, make sure it’s as fashionable as it is functional, ready for every adventure. Here are my two favorites of the moment:
The Uashmama Memo Backpack went everywhere with me and kept everything safe (and dry). Use code RENEELARASTYLE for a little love at checkout.
Also, you can find the Nomad Fanny from TAH wrapped around my waist (or shoulder). It holds all that I need and keeps me hands free. Use code RLS20 at checkout for a little love on this one, too.
TIP NO. THREE
Pack with a plan.
Smart packing is key to staying stylish on the go. Opt for mix-and-match pieces that can be dressed up or down, and include essential skincare products, accessories, and comfy yet fashionable shoes. Remember, less is more when you pack with purpose (and especially when you have to carry your own bag).
What I'm packing...
First things first, I need to keep my wine cool. Uashmama has a great bag for that here (don't forget to use code RENEELARASTYLE at checkout). And then don't forget your favorite water bottle. Here's mine. Load up on the water ladies!
Skin Care! I have been loving this sunscreen from Dr. Roshini Raj. Slather it on Sister.
Something to keep me cool by the water and campsite. Like this hat, this hat, or these sunnies. If you grab the sunnies, don't forget to use code renee10 at checkout.
I like to stay ready for an on-the-go face wash, so I have to have my fave lip balm and cleansing oil. Then I'll use my beach or camping towels and end with a nice little spritz. Psst- use code renee10 at checkout.
Style matters, so I'm packing shoes that work for the beach and lake andddd shoes for in-town adventures. You gotta be ready!
Alright, this one is a particularly good one. Disposable panties. That's all I will say here. You're welcome.
This dress is on repeat for me.
Comfy is key. I am always ready for hoodie time. Always.
After a long day at the beach or trecking to the lake, my toes need a hug. I am really loving these SOCK ME retro beauties from Free People.
Last but not least, leave a little room! Explore your local shops. Get adventurous. Pack less, so you can go home with new treasures.
The best part of taking time to rest is that now I have so much more energy to give. I’m here to help you look and feel your best. You know, to help you unveil the wonder within you.
