About Me

Hi, I’m Emily – a travel-obsessed outfit planner, suitcase strategist, aesthetic hunter, and the heart behind Styllara where I want to capture all these styles and inspos.

If you love planning outfits for your trips just as much as the trip itself… if airport looks excite you… if you search Pinterest for “Paris winter outfit” at 2 AM… if you want to feel beautiful and confident in every corner of the world – then welcome.

You’ve just found your new home.

Where my love for travel style began

My journey didn’t start with fashion – it started with airports.

As a kid, I was mesmerized by the energy of departure halls: the outfits, the suitcases, the moods. I loved watching people on their way somewhere new – travelers wrapped in scarves for Europe winters, sun-kissed vacationers returning from tropical places, business chic passengers heading to big cities.

The older I got, the more I fell in love with the idea that:
Every destination has a style. Every country has a mood. Every trip has its own aesthetic.

Tokyo feels structured and modern.
Kyoto feels soft, historical, and serene.
New York feels fast-paced and layered.
London feels timeless, sharp, and rainy chic.
Thailand and Vietnam feel warm, breezy, colorful.
Paris feels elegant, cozy, romantic.

And so I began planning outfits not just for weather… but for energy. For culture. For atmosphere. For the story I wanted to live there.

Little by little, I realized:
Travel style isn’t just clothing – it’s part of the memory.

And that’s exactly why Styllara was born.

Why I created Styllara

I wanted to build a place for travelers who care about:

  • destination outfits (NYC, London, Tokyo, Paris, Rome, Santorini & more)
  • vacation looks (beach, resort, tropical, city, adventure trips)
  • seasonal travel inspiration (fall in Europe, winter in NYC, summer in Greece, autumn in London)
  • travel packing lists (vacation, cruise, ski trips, weekend getaways, Europe trips, beach holidays)
  • airport outfits & long-flight style
  • honeymoon looks & island outfits
  • Nashville, Texas, and US city outfits
  • travel nails & seasonal holiday nail designs
  • desert, safari & adventure looks

Basically… everything you need to feel confident, stylish, and aligned with the vibe of your destination.

I research each place, look at weather patterns, local style, photography aesthetics, cultural nuances, and seasonal shifts – and turn all of that into simple, wearable outfit guides.

My expertise – the heart behind what I do

My expertise comes from living this life fully – exploring cities, beaches, mountains, deserts, and tiny hidden streets across the world. I’ve tested outfits in freezing New York winters, humid Southeast Asian summers, dusty desert adventures, rainy London days, breezy island evenings, and chaotic travel days with long layovers.

I know how fabrics behave in tropical humidity, which shoes survive Paris cobblestones, which layers actually work for European winters, and which accessories elevate an outfit without weighing down your suitcase.

And I’ve created countless packing lists that balance:

  • practicality
  • comfort
  • minimalism
  • beauty
  • and destination-specific mood

For me, travel style is storytelling.
You’re not just packing clothes – you’re packing memories.

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.
