Lately, it feels like everything is in chaos—especially here in Washington State, where the economy is shifting, industries are feeling the turbulence, and for content creators and travelers like me, the uncertainty makes planning harder than ever.
The cost of living is rising, projects feel unpredictable, and even dreaming about a vacation can feel like a luxury.
But here’s the thing—I refuse to let stress define my life. I believe in switching my focus when things feel overwhelming. And for me, that means travel, fashion, and finding new ways to express myself.
So, while everything at home might be unpredictable, my European adventure is set in stone.
This trip isn’t just a getaway—it’s an opportunity for content, photos, creativity, and a moment to reflect who I truly am.
Because honestly, what’s better than exploring breathtaking locations while wearing outfits that make you feel unstoppable?
White Lotus x Banana Republic: A Match Made for Dreamers
We all know that White Lotus isn’t just a show—it’s a lifestyle. Luxurious resorts, drama-soaked vacations, and effortlessly chic outfits that make every scene feel like a travel fantasy.
Now, Banana Republic is letting us live that dream with their limited-edition capsule collection, and honestly, I’m obsessed.
The campaign is a vibe—mystical, tropical, and dripping in effortless elegance. And the biggest surprise?
Patrick Schwarzenegger, aka Saxon Ratliff from Season 3, is the face of it.
The rich, reckless sibling we love to hate is now giving us serious vacation style inspo.
Patterned short-sleeve shirts, breezy linen pants, and a wardrobe fit for cocktails by the infinity pool? Say less.
The Collection: Effortless, Elevated, and Escape-Ready
Banana Republic’s White Lotus collection is everything I want for my next getaway—relaxed yet refined, effortless yet elevated.
Here’s what I’m eyeing for my suitcase:
- A silk crepe maxi dress ($350) that practically whispers luxury. Perfect for sunset dinners in the Mediterranean.
- Printed bucket hats ($50) because sun protection should always be stylish.
- Linen jumpsuits and button-downs that scream “I woke up in paradise.”
- Vintage-inspired tropical prints from the Banana Republic archives (yes, they went deep for this one!).
- Breathable fabrics like cotton poplin, linen, and lightweight knits—because no one wants to sweat in style.
And let’s talk about the colors. Think zebra prints, botanical patterns, vibrant turquoise, and sunshine yellow—basically, a walking postcard from paradise.
Why This Collection Hits Different
Banana Republic’s head of marketing, Meena Anvary, said it best:
This collection celebrates a sense of discovery and wit through a premium lens.
And honestly? That’s exactly what I’m feeling.
It’s not just about clothes—it’s about the energy of adventure.
It’s about being transported to a world where life is slower, the air is warmer, and your biggest decision is whether to have an Aperol Spritz or a piña colada.
This is what travel fashion should be—playful, luxurious, and designed for wanderlust-filled souls.
I can already see myself strolling through cobblestone streets in a breezy dress, lounging on a balcony with espresso in hand, or dancing under the stars in the perfect vacation fit.
A Reminder to Romanticize Your Life
Let’s be real—stress isn’t going anywhere. The world is chaotic, responsibilities pile up, and some days feel endless.
But we owe it to ourselves to find pockets of joy.
Sometimes, that means planning your next trip.
Sometimes, it’s as simple as treating yourself to something beautiful—a dress that makes you feel amazing, a piece of clothing that reminds you that you deserve luxury, or even just a fun, patterned scarf that brings you joy.
That’s why I love fashion. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling good.
And the Banana Republic x White Lotus collection? It’s pure escapism, wrapped in linen and silk.
It’s a reminder to romanticize life, embrace adventure, and find beauty in the everyday.

Whether you’re planning a vacation or just dreaming of one, dressing the part is half the fun.
The White Lotus x Banana Republic capsule collection is here, and it’s giving us permission to dream, explore, and dress like the main character of our own adventures.
So, why not lean into it? Cart up your favorites, book that trip, and escape—mentally or physically. Either way, you’ll look incredible doing it.
