style spotter: havana, cuba
Though we have a few things in mind for 2017, there’s one place that has long been calling our names. And, now that travel to this place has just recently become a possibility, we’re dying to get ourselves to this little island that’s long eluded Americans. Enter our latest dream packing list with today’s style spotter: Havana, Cuba. It should come as no surprise that we’re more than a little obsessed with Christmas here at LT HQ. If you follow us on Instagram, then you’ve probably noticed the recent onslaught of all things festive. (And if you don’t follow us…

style spotter: the lazy travelers’ 2016 holiday gift guide + giveaway [NOW CLOSED]
***This holiday gift guide giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to our winners!*** It’s that time of year again! That wonderful, wonderful time when cookie calories don’t count.

#LTportugal // the wines of northern portugal
When it comes to wine — and wine tourism — we’re not going to pretend we’re sommeliers-in-training. We don’t care about your tannins or your vintage. It doesn’t matter to us if you use French oak or California oak. We certainly aren’t impressed with a bottle just because it comes with a high pricetag. Expensive wine can be lovely, sure. But as we’ve learned time and time again, so can a lower priced bottle of something small-batch and locally made. Nothing has proven this to be more true than the wines of Northern Portugal. This is why, at our villa…

#LTgreekweek // style spotter: mykonos edition
WELL, hello, October! Fancy meeting you here! We’re back with another rousing edition of our packing dreamlilst, this time with style spotter: Mykonos edition. We must admit. We’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for this month to arrive since our planes’ wheels met the pavement post-Portugal. That’s because in just a few weeks (days, practically), we’re off on another grand adventure! That’s right… MYKONOS Yes, correct, our trip with MyGreek-Villa is just around the corner, and naturally, we’re starting to figure out what the heck we’re going to wear! As we’re going a little after peak season, we’re hoping for perfect pool…

#LTportugal // four days in the douro
If you may recall, last year in Spain, we promised ourselves that no matter what, we would make a proper summer holiday happen again this August. Just recently, we made good on our promise. Now we’re here to tell you about our two days in Porto and four days in the Douro. True to our word, we picked a week, marked our calendars, and then promptly let life take over. We kept agreeing to pick a destination later. We just made the definite plan to go somewhere warm, and somewhere with serious pool/beach time. Later showed up in June. Do…
