Top reasons to visit Aruba
I had the opportunity to visit Aruba at the end of September. To be honest, Aruba was never on my travel wish list because it seemed so off the beaten path. It also seemed more like a family destination, which wasn’t what I wanted since I don’t have kids. But after spending four days on Aruba, I can recommend it as a low-key beach vacation destination, especially during hurricane season when you might decide to avoid the rest of the Caribbean. If you’re considering visiting Aruba soon, here are my top reasons for visiting Aruba Due to its location near South America and outside of the Caribbean hurricane belt, Aruba…

Are cruise ships now becoming too popular? |From Southampton to Bruges
As many of you may have guessed, I love cruising. Yes, I’m talking about that feeling you get when you get on a boat and have a drink, like on Paul Gascoigne’s Stag Do. No, cruising on the 1980 William Friedkin movie where Al Pacino goes undercover to find a serial killer targeting the gay community. I’ve never seen it, and I’ll admit that’s largely because I don’t want to see how deep Al Pacino’s character goes undercover. I will admit that this Princess cruise ship, which departs from Southampton, stops in Rotterdam and Bruges, and then returns to Southampton, is the most crowded and noisy cruise of the bunch.…

Finding the Perfect Blazer for Fall
Let’s start simple: a black blazer. Personally, I can’t get enough of blazing black. When I think about blazers for fall, here are a few that come to mind. I’ve been buying the same blazer from H&M for about four years now, and I just realized they still sell it. It’s not super stylish, but it’s oversized and lighter weight. It matches a lot of clothes in my closet, which is why I didn’t put it in the donation pile. This next blazer is one I’m really excited about and I can’t wait to wear it. Last year I wore the ivory version every chance I got. Now it’s black…

Chelsea Boots Review
A style that transcends fashion and trends, the Chelsea boot was originally designed in Victorian England in the mid-1800s and has been loved and adored ever since.

The material underneath the corner panels is stitched with a novel dotted line, adding a unique aesthetic to the overall structure. When viewed from the side (whether sitting proudly on a shoe rack or looking in…
