About Me

Styllara publishes practical travel outfit and packing guidance so you can get dressed faster and pack with less stress. You come here for destination-specific style ideas that work in real life, not just in photos.

I’m Emily, the editor and owner behind Styllara. I plan travel wardrobes the way some people plan itineraries: with a clear strategy for weather, walking, layers, and the mood of a place.

What Styllara is

Styllara is an editorial travel style resource for people who care about how they feel in their clothes while they move through the world. I focus on wearable outfit planning, suitcase-building, and aesthetic direction you can actually apply before your next flight.

What you will find here

  • Destination outfit guides that match season, setting, and typical activities (city days, museums, dinners, day trips).
  • Packing lists and capsule ideas built around repeatable outfits, not one-time looks.
  • Airport and long-flight outfit formulas for comfort, layers, and arriving polished.
  • Seasonal travel planning (what to wear when temperatures swing, rain hits, or you walk all day).
  • Shoe and bag practicality notes (cobblestones, sand, humidity, and long transit days).
  • Travel nails and holiday nail direction that fits trip timing, outfits, and maintenance reality.

What you will NOT find here

  • Booking advice, visa guidance, or travel logistics beyond what affects what you wear and pack
  • Medical, dermatology, or professional beauty advice
  • “Perfect” packing promises or one-size-fits-all rules

My background

My relationship with travel style started in airports. As a kid, I watched departure halls like a moving style book: scarves for winter cities, lightweight layers for humid climates, polished workwear on early flights. That habit turned into a method I still use today: observe what actually works on the move, then translate it into simple guidance you can use.

I currently split my time between Los Angeles and frequent Europe trips, with plenty of travel in between. I run Styllara independently, and I am responsible for what we publish and how we update it.

How I build advice you can trust

I write with real constraints in mind: limited suitcase space, unpredictable weather, long walking days, and the fact that you still want to feel like yourself in photos.

  • Research and planning: I combine climate patterns, seasonality, common daily activities, and local style cues to shape outfit guidance.
  • Wearability first: I prioritize comfortable fabrics, repeatable layers, and shoes you can actually walk in.
  • Clear separation of facts vs. opinion: When something is preference-based (silhouettes, color stories, aesthetics), I say so and give options.
  • Updates and corrections: I revisit guides to keep them current. If something changes or needs clarification, I update the page rather than quietly leaving it outdated.
  • Respectful language standard: I write about bodies and fit with care. You will see inclusive language, practical sizing considerations, and no shaming.
  • Transparency: I do not claim professional licensing. This site is editorial guidance based on observation, research, and lived travel experience.

All guidance on travel outfits, packing, and nails is editorial and informational. Results can vary based on climate, personal style, body comfort, skin type, nail condition, hair type, personal preference, and context, and no outcome is guaranteed.

Editorial focus areas

  • Destination outfit guides (city breaks, coastal trips, countryside, and iconic seasonal destinations)
  • Packing lists for specific trip types (weekend, Europe, beach, cruise, ski, honeymoon)
  • Airport outfits and long-haul layering systems
  • Seasonal travel wardrobes (winter city layering, humid summer dressing, shoulder-season versatility)
  • Practical footwear and accessory planning for walking-heavy itineraries
  • Travel nails and holiday nail direction that stays realistic for travel days


Outside of travel & content creation

When I’m not organizing outfits for my next trip, you’ll find me:

  • exploring cafés around whatever city I’m currently in
  • photographing little travel moments – light, textures, rooftops
  • creating travel playlists
  • scrolling for destination inspirations at midnight
  • journaling during flights
  • collecting tiny souvenirs that hold big memories
  • or planning my next big adventure way too early

Travel fills me with life. Planning fills me with joy.
And sharing both with you feels like a gift.
