Fashion Travel Tips // Hampton by Hilton




I'm so excited to be teaming up with Hampton by Hilton once again to share some great tips on traveling in style. On my recent trip to Orlando I learned how unprepared I was the entire time. I packed for 75 degree weather and the reality was far from it. It turned out to be over 90 degrees! Since I was only going to be there for two days and one night I only took two outfits (big big mistake!). This time out of all times I wish I had overpacked. Let's just say I was unprepared and the the scorching heat caught me by surprise.


-I packed-

1 linen top 
1 pair of oversize trousers
1 pair of heels
1 long sleeve loose short dress
1 pair of sneakers
1 pair of casual flats

I planned to wear the trousers with the linen top and heels the first night I arrived for an intimate dinner with a group of friends. This wasn't such a great idea since there was a ton of walking that had to be done and flats would've been ideal. Also the long trousers were probably the worst thing I could've packed. The material wasn't the best in warm weather, I just don't know what I was thinking! I didn't only pack the wrong clothes I also packed the wrong beauty items! 

Because I don't want you to go through the same thing I went threw I'm sharing what I should've brought instead. 

-I should've packed- 

2 cotton short sleeve tops
2 cotton short dresses 
1 mid length skirt 
1 pair of shorts
2 pair of sandals (one casual, open toe and one fancier, closed toe)
1 cardigan (just in case it gets chilly at night)

For beauty, it's best to travel with a bb or cc cream instead of a normal foundation. Think about it, light make up is ideal when visiting a warm place. You want to have very little makeup on when you're standing in the sun, trust me! If you follow me on snapchat (JohnnybellSan) then you know how drenched I was when I stood in the sun. My makeup melted, literally!

For makeup you only need bb/ cc cream or tinted moisturizer, concealer, mascara, eyebrow pencil, and a cheek & lip stain. Thats it! The best thing to do on your hair is a low bun. It's sophisticated and smart when it comes to dealing with the heat. I have super long hair and for the trip I brought my curling iron, hair brush and a ton of hair products thinking I could pull off sleek hair. I mean who was I kidding? Ladies, each Hampton by Hilton room has a hairdryer and believe me that's all you need (along with their free hot breakfast). The only thing I got right during my trip was the accessories. I brought a nice pair of stud earrings which were perfect for day and night. I hope my experience serves as a lesson to you all.

As you all know Summer is almost over and I encourage all of you to make the best of it. Travel! Explore places you've never seen. Try foods you've never tried before. & most importantly HAVE FUN and share your experience via social media with the hashtag #SoySeekender #Seekender for a chance to win big!!
