  • Another moment from look 3 of my thesis collection

One day I’ll release another look, but for now I’m living in this airy pool of pleated nudes and silky green

  • Where is this stunning church? How do I visit it? 🇨🇴 

Questions I also asked myself when my Google rabbit hole of Colombia itinerary planning led me to images of Las Lajas Sanctuary. Located in the remote town of Ipiales on the border of Ecuador and Colombia, reaching Las Lajas from Colombia can be a real test of patience if your Spanish is just elementary. A brutal early morning flight, and a couple of stressful and confusing taxi incidents, and we successfully made it there and back! As far as off the beaten path destinations go, Las Lajas is a breeze (it’s popular amongst domestic tourists). Visiting Las Lajas from Ecuador is way easier than Colombia. It’s actually one of the best day trips from Quito!

This Rapunzel moment is no joke — the Las Lajas is suspended 100 meters over the Guaitara River canyon (not featured: Sean screaming at me that I was not about to lean back any further, which trust me, I absolutely wasn’t planning on)

  • Oh hey, it’s me! Once again putting my fashion design degree to subpar use.

This time I’m designing a piece for one of my ~besties~ + fave travel partners! I posted this piece on my story a while ago, but here’s a bit behind the scenes of how it came together because you guys have been wanting to see more of my fashion design work. I don’t usually do menswear (read: never do menswear), but I really like how this piece came out!

The stars in the print represent the places my friend has gone, the illustrations are some of the places we’ve been together and some of the places he wants to go, the pins are a lot more of the places he wants to go — just a few though, his actual Map app has thousands. 😂

What do you guys think? I feel like this print would be fun to incorporate into womenswear as a travel dress or novelty coat

  • Mexico is such a land of surprises — during this trip, we went from the boho glam beaches of Tulum, to blue agave fields in Tequila, and after a brief stint in Mexico City, to this hidden sculpture garden in the rainforest.

La Huasteca Potosina is one of my favorite areas of Mexico, and I’ve finally gotten it together to write a complete guide to visiting. Visit Eva Darling to read all about this stunning region in Mexico 💕

  • Solo travel - great for the soul, terrible for the bank account. 😂

Here’s a few of my favorite ways to save money on travel:

✈️ Pick one domestic airline and stay loyal to it! This will help you gain loyalty tiers and miles much faster. Airline loyalty programs often include perks like free checked bags, priority check-in and free upgrades to first class or premium economy

✈️ Get a travel credit card that accumulates points that can be used to book travel or can be transferred to airlines and converted to miles. Credit card and travel hacking beginners will like the Chase Sapphire Preferred card for its easy qualification and low annual fee. Frequent travelers will like @chase Sapphire Reserve (this is what I have!) or AmEx Platinum for their premium perks like faster point accumulation, free lounge access, annual travel credit, and waived TSA Precheck or Global Entry fees

✈️ Pick a hotel chain and make it your go-to! Joining their free loyalty programs will help you earn free nights (admittedly, I prefer boutique hotels so I’m not great at following this 😂)

✈️ Take advantage of shopping portals! Many travelers don’t realize that they could be earning miles in addition to credit card points by making their regular online purchases through airline shopping portals. Use cashbackmonitor.com to compare mileage rates between portals

✈️ Consider getting the credit card for your primary airline! Even if you’re not at a premium loyalty tier, just holding the credit card will often still give you free checked bags, better mile accumulation, and faster boarding. I have @delta, and the free checked bag each flight has paid for the $95 annual fee several times over!

  • Believe it or not, this outdoor shower at @bubblesky_glamping was maybe the best shower I had in Colombia (minus a few bugs, obviously). 😂 This was about halfway through the trip, and somehow all of the hotels following, with the exception of our airport hotel, had major shower issues. To say I was shocked at this shower, is an understatement. It’s definitely the most aesthetic shower I’ve come across in my travels

Back when I was dancing seriously, I used to love taking ballet photos everywhere I traveled. It was fun channeling that skill set again in this shot! Although, I do have to say that the water and slippery stone made for some hilarious outtakes. Hoping to reintroduce more ballet-esque images back into the feed, what do you think? 💕

  • Shooting creative portraits doesn’t need to be expensive! I shot the images for my campaign with @a.jaffe a few weeks ago with two $3.99 wreaths in my parents’ living room. The shoot resulted in some of my favorite images to date!

Sure, some ideas are much more expensive than others, and figuring out how to execute on a tight budget does require a bit more energy, but it’s totally doable! You might even find that having to get creative with the restriction of a low budget might even help you with coming up with unique ideas ✨

  • I’m never one to turn down hanging out on an overhang net, but the mosquitos had other ideas for me 😂

This net hangs out over the farms of Guatapé. I have to admit, when we booked @bubblesky_glamping we were expecting a much different, clearer view, but until the insect situation go to me, it was still fun to lay down on!

Keep in mind while visiting Guatapé and Piedra del Peñol that the glamping resorts of Guatapé are in a much more remote area than the town. If you’re glamping, I’d definitely recommend renting a car to make getting around easier! Luckily BubbleSky could call us motor taxis, but I still think this is the most convenient way to go as a tuk tuk may take 15+ minutes just to reach you at your resort, and transfer between Medellín and Guatapé can be pricey

  • Don’t burst my bubble…because Eva Darling turns 9 today! Every “blogiversary” I’m mostly in shock that I’ve managed to make it online another year 😂

This unique bubble tent is located at @bubblesky_glamping in Guatapé, Colombia. Guatapé is just a couple hours outside of Medellín and it’s beyond beautiful — easily one of my favorite places in Colombia so far!

Although we had a few snafus with the property, overall it was an interesting experience and I was seriously impressed with some of the smaller details they thought through (hellooooo heated mattress)

Would you want to stay here? 💫
