Packing for a big trip gets complicated fast when you want to look polished, feel comfortable, and still avoid bringing half your closet. In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren and Ashlie of Once Upon a Wardrobe to talk about how they plan vacation style around the destination, the itinerary, personal color palettes, body type, comfort, and even professional travel photos. We also get into capsule wardrobes, rewearing pieces, packing cubes versus Ziploc bags, and how thoughtful outfit planning can make everything from a luxury Paris trip to Disneyland Paris feel easier and more intentional.

The biggest travel mistakes often happen before you ever leave home. In this episode, I’m answering the questions travelers ask me most about planning smarter, more seamless luxury travel—from when to book international trips and how to avoid overpacking to whether travel insurance is really worth it and when a travel advisor can make the biggest difference. I’m also sharing essential Europe travel tips for first-time visitors, my honest take on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party vs. Halloween Horror Nights, what makes my set-jetting group trips different, and how I think about travel safety in today’s world. If you’re planning a vacation, European getaway, cruise, or bucket-list trip, this episode could change the way you book it.

What if the best luxury travel experiences aren’t actually available to book online? I just got back from my first Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas, and one unexpected nine-minute meeting turned into a $500 private Paris shopping experience that my travelers will get for free. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what really happens when travel advisors build relationships with the world’s top hotels, destinations, and luxury travel partners—and how those connections can turn into upgrades, insider access, and experiences you’d never find through Google, Instagram, or a booking site.

What if the Paris you fell in love with on screen is only the beginning? In this episode, I’m taking you beyond the fantasy to explore what Emily in Paris actually gets right about the city, what it leaves out, and why experiencing Paris in person feels so different from simply recognizing the places you’ve seen on TV. I’m also giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m designing my 2027 Emily in Paris set-jetting journey—including why some famous Paris landmarks didn’t make the itinerary and what I’m including instead.
