Last year, after closing the shop, we knew one thing that we wanted to do with our time was to travel more. And so we did. 2016 had some of my favorite trips we’ve taken as a married couple. (Tulum was probably my favorite of all the year!) So I thought I’d do a quick re-cap of our favorite travel moments + outfits from the past year. Also, I had the best time going through photos for this post. I can’t wait to see where 2017 takes us! (Fingers crossed for Tulum, again.)
Charleston
Charleston in the spring has to be one of the most fun trips to take if you’ve got a few days to spare. I’ve already told B I can’t wait to go back this spring. You can find my full recap here. (Also do you see a theme of that trip? Coffee and sugar. 😉 )
Tulum
I didn’t post too much about Tulum last year because once we got there we decided to play more instead of work. So I didn’t get a ton of photos or outfits, but lots of relaxation and a new appreciation for the beach. We stayed at Nomade and it was basically heaven on Earth. Take me back, 2017. I’m counting on it.
Kennebunkport, Maine
I keep saying this but this was one of my favorite trips, so maybe we can just safely assume for the rest of the post that every trip is my favorite. The weather was just perfect, it was a nice and cool break from the summer heat. I told B on this trip that if we ever ‘summered’ somewhere this is where I’d like to do it. He said he’d try really hard to win the lottery so he can make that happen. Probably one of my favorite things we did on this trip — and I kid you not — was a trolley tour of the town. It was the campiest and sweetest little tour ever. I actually love tours like that, so call me cheesy but it was a fun time.
Ojai, CA
Ojai was one of those spur of the moment trips that we booked last minute, just to get away from the heat. And we ended up hitting California in the middle of the heat wave last summer. Ha! We sure do know how to plan. But if you have to be in the death trap of summer, I’d happily do it at the Ojai Resort. I forget how beautiful California is, as I’ve only been there a handful of times (and mainly north!) We definitely want to go back. And after looking at these photos, I’m starting to think a little heat wave wouldn’t be so bad right about now.
Austin
I almost didn’t include Austin because it’s just a few hours away from us and it never really feels like we leave home when we go. (We used to live in the Texas Hill Country, so Austin still feels like home.) But we ended up going over a weekend and just did all of our weekend things, but in another town. It was a blast! A little staycation, Texas style.
San Francisco
We took a quick little getaway last August to San Francisco to show my parents around. They’d never been before and we hadn’t been since our honeymoon, so we jumped on the chance to take them around one of our favorite cities. We didn’t shoot many outfits here but lots of instagams! Some trips are just better by phone.
Zurich and Lucerne
We ended our travels with Switzerland, seeing the end of autumn in Zurich and Lucerne. If I had to live one other place in the world it would be Lucerne, some of the prettiest views and sights I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t feel like real life there. We dodged in and out of rain storms, but it was the perfect trip catching up with old friends and B showing me all the tourist spots that he knows I love. What can I say? I’m a tourist at heart.

If you have any places you’d love for us to go and explore and report back, let us know! We are always planning our next trip stateside or abroad. Thank you for following along on our journeys, I truly hope you feel like you’re along for the ride with us.

Come to Argentina! 🙂
We just got back from a New Year’s trip to New Mexico. We went to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Santa Fe has a lot of little galleries, very artsy.
I also love Solvang, Los Olivos, and Santa Barbara. You can do a lot of wine tasting and the towns are just so pleasant to walk around!
wow you travel so much! Lucky girl 🙂

You went on so many fun trips!! I’m dying to go to Tulum! xo Devon Seventeen Dresses
Wow, you really give new meaning to the phrase “traveling in style”! Love all of these looks… I’ll have to keep them in mind, as one of my resolutions for this year is to adventure more! 🙂
I love Tulum! It’s beautiful. My favorite place I’ve ever traveled to is Italy. It still makes me happy thinking about it and going back. Stateside, I can’t wait to get to Yellowstone and you made Charleston look really fun!
Sounds like you had a wonderful year! In 2016 my husband and I set of to travel around the world for 6 months straight! It’s been the best experience ever! Sad that it’s coming to a close. I too want to go to Tulum this year 🙂 Looks beautiful!

Aren’t Kennebunkport and Portland just the cutest darn towns you’ve ever seen? We ventured up there on two separate trips in 2016 and I’m already hoping to get back soon. And I’m seriously itching to see Charleston! We explored Savannah back in 2014 and I hear they’re quite similar, so I know I’d love it. Happy 2017, Kendi!
You took some amazing trips this year! I loved Charleston and San Fran, too! Looks like I need to add Maine though. Too cute!

Thanks for sharing Kendi! I am really thinking Charleston needs to make it on my bucket list! Also, if you guys come back to San Francisco I would love to photograph the two of you!
We’re currently planning our honeymoon and it’s fun daydreaming of all the places we could go. We’re thinking California, too! If you ever venture back to Charleston, I recommend Edisto Beach — about 40 minutes away. It’s a remote little stretch of untouched, low-country perfection (one gas station, one grocery story) that my family has visited for 30 years — it couldn’t be funkier, sweeter or more relaxing.

Loved seeing all these pics. I know what you mean about Lucerne. I was there several years ago and it’s literally like a dream.
Love the entire look.. especially those pants!
Ojai and Tulum are my favorite!
Hope you get to travel even more on 2017!

What an amazing year of travels you had! Thanks for the beautiful photo recap!! I don’t know how you did some of your “touristing” in the heals you wore!! That takes a special skill which I do not have at all!! 🙂
Gorgeous places, but the most I loved seeing the Tulum photos! It’s also a place on my bucket list for this year perhaps 🙂 Hope you’ll have an amazing 2017! <3

I love your Maine outfits! Looks like a wonderful year of travel!

I love reading your travel posts 🙂
I don’t feel like I’ve traveled enough to give any recommendations or suggestions (& I pretty much want to go all of the places, lol), so I’m quite happy to follow along wherever.
My youngest sister & I are planning a European trip next year – thinking we might have to squeeze Switzerland in there somewhere…
Love your Austin looks the best. AMAZING.
