Spring Vacay Q&A with Team LFA
Q&A with Angela
Q: What is your must have LF piece/outfit/color you pack with you on every trip?
A: My absolute go-to LF pieces for trips big or small would have to be the Ethereal Cinched Top in white and the oversized scrunchies! I am a firm believer of having pieces you can dress up or down and I love that the celestial tank gives me that option. You can't catch me without at least one LF Oversized scrunchie in each bag!
Q: What is one item you cannot go on a trip without?
A: SUNGLASSES. Vegas native here-I am a sunglass collector of sorts, I think that a good pair of sunnies elevate a look while keeping me from squinting. (life hack for vacation pictures so you don't have to worry about re taking a pic because of blinking etc!)
Q: What is your ideal spring break vacation destination? Why do you want to go here?
A: Guam! My husband and his family were born and raised so we would love to go visit and take time to fully immerse ourselves in food, family & fresh air.
Q: What do you look for when considering places to travel? What are your favorite aspects of travel?
A: The Culture! I am so head over heels for a good immersive trip in food and sight-seeing!
Q: Do you have any hacks to share when it comes to packing light or traveling with ease?
A: Carry-Ons for life! I pack a good sized shoulder bag for my immediate essentials and then a carry on roller . Im somewhat of a packing expert when it comes to "ranger rolling" my clothes to fit 😉
Q&A with Ashley
Q: What is your must have LF piece/outfit/color you pack with you on every trip?
A: My LF piece I'd have to pack on every trip would be my Impact Sports Bra in the color Phoenix! I was never into sports bras since the ones I've had never fit me right and were never comfortable, but WOW I didn't know what a good sports bra felt like until I got this one! It's comfy, supports me in all the right places, and makes me feel confident! Truly an essential.
Q: What is one item you cannot go on a trip without?
A: During trips, I walk A LOT and as someone with bigger thighs, the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick is a LIFESAVER. I brought it on my last trip where I went to Disneyland last summer with my family and it lasted all day, keeping me comfortable and chafe-free. This is all to say I'm bringing it everywhere now, ha!
Q: What is your ideal spring break vacation destination? Why do you want to go here?
A: Ooo my destination of choice would 100% be Japan. I've always wanted to go and during the spring it's cherry blossom season! Japan and its culture have always interested me, so I'd love to visit!
Q: What do you look for when considering places to travel? What are your favorite aspects of travel?
A: When I look for places to travel, I like to keep two things in mind: local food and activities. These two are always at the forefront since I always travel with at least one other person and want all of the experiences to be memorable and delicious! Both of the things I consider (local food and activities) are also my favorite aspects as well!
Q: Do you have any hacks to share when it comes to packing light or traveling with ease?
A: For TSA I've learned to always have my documents out while I'm still in line, have my jacket tied around my waist, and to make sure all electronics are packed at the very top of my baggage. Doing all of this has made TSA a quick and easy experience for me!
Q&A with Crystal
Q: What is your must have LF piece/outfit/color you pack with you on every trip?
A: I absolutely love the Odina Seamless set in the color Cacao. They're incredibly comfy to travel in. They pair so well with an over sized shirt & jean jacket for an all day casual look. Anytime I travel I always do something adventures and it's perfect pair of leggings for this reason.
Q: What is one item you cannot go on a trip without?
A: I can't travel without my laptop. As a working mom that manages my businesses, its absolutely essential to bring my laptop everywhere.
Q: What is your ideal spring break vacation destination? Why do you want to go here?
A: I would love to go to any where like Yellowstone or South Island of New Zealand because of the blooming fields of flowers that is just so magestic and magical to experience. It only happens once a year and that is during spring.
Q: What do you look for when considering places to travel? What are your favorite aspects of travel?
A: There are 3 things that are important. Cultural immersion. FOOD. & family friendly.
Q: Do you have any hacks to share when it comes to packing light or traveling with ease?
A: I'm a globe trotter & I travel light. I only do carry-ons and keep all the outfits & essentials that fits in my carry-ons. I have a ready to go bag for all my essentials like showers kits in mini bottles, mini brush. I limit the number of shoes by one good pair of shoes I wear during traveling and 1-2 smaller pairs while at destinations. Rolling carry-on and a backpack with the back sleeve to sit and insert nicely on top of my rolling carry on handle makes traveling easy breezy.
Q&A with Emily
Q: What is your must have LF piece/outfit/color you pack with you on every trip?
A: The Premium Tropic Jacket is my favorite travel companion! Paired with leggings and sneakers, this jacket is my favorite airport ->airplane->airbnb on the go essential.
Q: What is one item you cannot go on a trip without?
A: My trip is made successful by a good pair of headphones. I prep each vacation with a curated playlist. I loooove listening to music as I relax and explore my surroundings, but a good playlist is nothing without my headphones.
Q: What is your ideal spring break vacation destination? Why do you want to go here?
A: Next on my list for Spring Break vacay is Alaska. The wildlife, the landscape, the fresh air...need I say more?
Q: What do you look for when considering places to travel? What are your favorite aspects of travel?
A: I like to consider where i've been and what I have yet to see! I love the outdoors so I try finding new places on the map that will give a completely different experience from the last. A new POV!
Q: Do you have any hacks to share when it comes to packing light or traveling with ease?
A: Pack a small bag in your carry on with all of you travel essentials like earbuds, chapstick, money, I.D., medications, hand sanitizer, sleep mask, etc.. This way you'll have everything you need to reach for during your flight in one place!
Q&A with Laura
Q: What is your must have LF piece/outfit/color you pack with you on every trip?
A: I'm addicted to all things cozy and love mixing and matching! My go-to essentials that I always find myself packing are the Effortless Biker Shorts - Driftwood, Phaedra Jacket - Canyon, and Phaedra Joggers - Canyon! I'm always here for all things neutral and these pieces are no exception!
Q: What is one item you cannot go on a trip without?
A: I always try to pack minimal when it comes to my beauty essentials so I love multi-purpose items that check more than one box. I'm addicted to using the Clarins Tinted Sunscreen for my face. It looks stunning as a base layer in a natural makeup look, making my skin look dewy and fresh, while also keeping me protected!
Q: What is your ideal spring break vacation destination? Why do you want to go here?
A: My ideal Spring Break destination is Banff National Park! This is the area of the rockies in Alberta, Canada. I would love to cozy up in a cabin by Lake Louise, spend time relaxing, sight-seeing, and exploring nature! This time of year, I'm feeling so much fatigue from the craziness of the holidays and new year that I really need some detox and quiet. I really love the simple things and there's no peace like immersing yourself in nature!
Q: What do you look for when considering places to travel? What are your favorite aspects of travel?
A: If I'm doing more local trips, it's easy to keep it pretty simple, but if I'm flying somewhere, I usually travel with intention, whether it be for family or for an event. For smaller trips, I like to go without too much direction and let the adventure shape itself. Side note - amazing food and culture is a HUGE bonus!
Q: Do you have any hacks to share when it comes to packing light or traveling with ease?
A: I'm not sure if this is much of a hack, but going through Security in the airport can be a pain! I love wearing my Effortless Pocket Leggings and putting my Phone and ID in my pocket for easy access instead of grabbing everything out of my bag.
We hope that this has helped you with your upcoming vacay mood boards and what to pack for your own Spring vacay getaways!
