What to Pack for Europe in the Fall

Europeans always look put together. Whether it's a drape-y scarf, some structured leather boots, or some tailored jeans, they make frolicking through the city look like they're walking on a catwalk. I find that packing is one of my favorite sports (can we call it a sport yet?) and I always make sure I can fit everything in a carry on whether it's a 10 or 2 day trip. My main goals are to feel cute … [Read more...] about What to Pack for Europe in the Fall

The Girl’s Guide to Packing for a Music Festival

One of my greatest joys in life is a really good music festival. And my all time favorite happens to be the greatest electronic dance music event in the world, Tomorrowland. I'd like to act all casual, like I haven't been thinking about what to wear for months now, but that would be a lie. I actually have a note in my phone where I pair up outfit ideas. Summer festivals are great because you can … [Read more...] about The Girl’s Guide to Packing for a Music Festival

6 Travel Tips to Make Packing a Breeze

Travel Helene dresses very differently from At Home Helene. Travel Helene picks outfits based on color schemes for the destinations. At Home Helene picks outfits based on comfort with disregard for holes and/or stains. I'm one of those people that pack way before my trip. This makes it difficult because I live with a man who packs mere minutes before we need to be walking out the door. But somehow … [Read more...] about 6 Travel Tips to Make Packing a Breeze

The Ultimate Guide to Packing Like a Travel Blogger

Packing your travel bag can make or break your trip. You want to look cute but be comfortable and have access to the things you need. But you also don't want to lug around your entire life and valuables. That's why you need to pack and think like a travel blogger. All the tech, clothes, and stuff you need, all easy to access. Winter is an especially hard time to pack since sweaters and coats take … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Guide to Packing Like a Travel Blogger

How to Book SUPER Cheap Flights

Cheerio from London! Michael and I decided very last minute (on Sunday!) that we needed to head to London town to experience some Christmas cheer (and really I was stalking Instagram to see the buildings lit up and I couldn't take it anymore.) I've been fortunate enough to go many times, but never during the holidays. We packed up and left for Nuremberg on Tuesday - since we found a 9 euro … [Read more...] about How to Book SUPER Cheap Flights

My Top 10 Must Haves For Traveling Abroad

I'm going to Asia for 19 days in exactly one week. I'm only slightly freaking out. I haven't been gone from my dogs for this long since... ever. I know they'll be in good hands, so now it's time to start thinking about my trip. I love traveling to experience the culture, food, people, and so much more. I love it even more when I pack light.I've been overseas almost a dozen times, many times … [Read more...] about My Top 10 Must Haves For Traveling Abroad

  • I do éclair that I love dessert! These éclairs from @frenchrevolutioneclairs in Bucharest are hands down the best I’ve ever had! Pleasantly surprised by the selection of sweets and trendy restaurants bumped up against beautiful architecture. Tell me, what’s your fave dessert? #experiencebucharest #heleneloveseurope Linking my overall dress and lipstick here! http://liketk.it/2tabi #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Okay Bucharest, you’ve won me over 🇷🇴 This beautiful book store is in the heart of old town amongst old and new architecture, full of trendy restaurants and grand buildings. Who knew it was so charming?! 😍 Is there a place you’ve visited that surprise you in an unexpected way? #experiencebucharest *edited with my preset “Hot Chocolate” link in bio to check ‘me out! #helenetravels #heleneloveseurope #inbetweenpresets
  • Celebrating with Ice cream! My brand new SHOP just launched. It’s got a brand new set of Lightroom presets, my book, and more! Check it out with the link in my bio or heleneinbetween.com This photo is edited with *Hot Chocolate* #inbetweenpresets #helenetravels
  • When you travel time seems to stand still. You’ll carry the memories that you make on a single night throughout your life. My trip to Italy was one of my favorites. And that’s because I was able to feel relaxed, something that rarely happens. That’s due in large part to @monogramstravel who made the trip and itinerary easy. On the blog today, I’m talking about how to make your trip to Europe stress free as well as my time with @monogramstravel!

  • Having a gourd time in Bucharest so far! Never done with fall puns ever. 🎃 I’m in need of Fall recipes (aka anything with pumpkins) if you got ‘em tell me! #heleneloveseurope
  • Here’s a very casual photo of me getting ready to go to Romania for 19 days 😎* *jk this is a photo of me from my wedding day 6 years ago 😬 I’m feeling super nostalgic lately. I know it’s because I’ve been gone from home for more than a year but it’s also because my life abroad is vastly different from what I thought it would be. Some good, some not so good. To keep it real, and to be honest, I thought more friends would visit. Now that I’m here, I totally get it. It’s hard and expensive to take time off and fly half way across the world. But at the same time I keep wondering why not?! I also get irrationally irritated when someone comes to Europe and doesn’t ask to see me. Which is crazy. I know. But I just miss friends and family more than ever. Okay, there was no real point to this just needed to say it.
  • What can I say? Bitches love Fall 🍁🐶🍁😂 Millie wrote the caption 🤷🏼‍♀️ #helyeahheidelberg #sulakids
  • 🎶A boy went down to Napoli because he missed the scenery🎶 Err... I mean girl. One thing that always stumps me lately about travel, at least on Instagram, is seeing that people don’t fully embrace a place they are visiting. I saw a girl who visited an island in Greece and didn’t even touch the water until 5 days later. But she has pictures gallivanting around town. I guess my idea of travel is to do it all. See it all. Meet people. Go to museums. And yes, dip my toes in the sea. What do you think? * I’m going to add an addition here because many have been rubbed the wrong way since writing this. No, there isn’t a wrong or right way to travel. I am expressing how I feel about travel. I do think many go just to get a picture and that is something I don’t quite understand. If you feel differently, by all means let me know how you feel.
  • “When I'm reading, wherever I am, I'm always somewhere else.” - Rebecca Wells from he book, Little Altars Everywhere. On the blog today I’ve got 6 books, 2 tv shows, and 1 movie that I’ve devoured lately. One of them being my beloved Rebecca wells (she also wrote Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood). Any recs for the next books to read?! I need something GREAT!
  • *sees one leaf on the ground* *puts on hat, boots, scarf, and tells husband to take pics* 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂 I’m in full fall mode over here. The weather in Germany is INCREDIBLE. It makes me not want to leave!! P.s. once I wrote an entire blog post/ song called all the fall things to the tune of Blink 182’s “All The Small Things” and it was so bad it was good. Linking it in my Insta story if you’re curious. Or just want to see how weird I am. P.p.s. I’ve had a lot of questions about this top, so linking it here! http://liketk.it/2t44E @liketoknow.it #liketkit
