What’s your favorite way to style the Michael Stars Ruana?
I love the royal blue/white combo [and] royal blue is one of my favorite colors right now. I like to wear it as a sarong over a bikini at the beach!

What do you always pack for your trips?
I’m obsessed with sunscreen. That’s my number one essential on all of my trips. Then, [I also bring] a good leave-in conditioner to spray in after [I] go in the ocean or after a shower because when I’m traveling my skin, my lips, my hair…just everything is usually pretty dry.

How do you typically pack for your vacations?
I’m a really big planner so I try to plan my outfits before I leave. If I’m there for three nights, I’ll have three dinner outfits planned, three day outfits planned, and usually I just pack a ton of bathing suits. I’m such a planner, [even] down to what sunglasses and bags I’m going to wear, [so it keeps me] from overpacking.

How do you pack for your daughters, Charlie and Kinsley?
Packing for them is a little bit harder. It used to be easy and I could just pack what I wanted them to wear, but they’re getting to the age now where they only want to wear what they want to wear. There’s no method to it, so I just throw everything in [their suitcase] because I never know what kind of mood they’re going to be in. They love dresses and they love being girly.
