Hï From Abroad

Ibiza, Spain; Munich, Germany; and Split, Croatia. Wow. I have so much to catch you up on. 3 amazing, beautiful places, each with unique cultures and even more distinct fashion scenes.  

Ibiza to start. Yes, I did make it to Hï to see David Guetta, and it was an unforgettable bucket list night. With all the DJ sets and dance floors, I learned about the rave culture that comes with its fashion code. Think oversized sunglasses, flowy pashminas, and bold accessories. The one thing that surprised me was the revival of the long skirt. In Ibiza, long skirts aren’t just for elegant occasions. They’re worn with twists, like sheer fabrics and metallic colors, and often worn with tiny tops for a carefree rave vibe.

Next, Munich, Germany, the home of Oktoberfest, a cultural experience like no other. If it hasn't flooded your Instagram feed already, the Oktoberfest attire is not everyday wear. My friends and I couldn't resist purchasing Drindles and Leiderhose to run around the various tents, beers in hand. Even though this isn't typical German fashion, I still felt it enhanced the culture through tradition. If I could relive it, I would in a heartbeat.

Last but not least, Split, Croatia. It's such a gem. We spent our weekend exploring the palace and lounging on the beaches. The area has growing tourism, but the fits did not disappoint. Split's style is effortlessly chic, with beachy vibes seen in everyday wear. From linen dresses to cool boat day outfits, the fashion here perfectly combines comfort and sophistication.

I left all these places with unforgettable memories, not just of their stunning landscapes and rich cultures but also of the fashion trends I got to witness. From traditional to trendy, these journeys have deepened my appreciation for how style reflects the character of a new place. I can’t wait to share where my next adventure takes me—both in travel and fashion. Stay tuned for more!
