Nicole Richie for Impulse

Rachael Crawley Sigsbee — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 01:21:08 +0000

Socialite turned reality TV star turned designer, Nicole Richie established herself in the world of fashion when she launched House of Harlow 1960 in 2009, a line that mirrors her own Bohemian style with a variety of everyday accessories. Richie has long been known for her hippie-meets-rocker look that she’s woven into House of Harlow, and the same aesthetic is certainly evident in her Macy’s Impulse line. >READ MORE

A Hiatus

Passport to Roam has kept me busy over the past few years as I’ve documented our travels through food articles, fashion stories and travel guides. Life is finally slowing down as my new husband and I are settling down in Hermosa Beach, Calif. With this new chapter comes new opportunity in my career as I’m shifting my focus from freelancing and writing this blog to creating a new business. While my energy is spent developing this new venture, Passport to Roam will be on a hiatus. Stay tuned for an even better avenue to get the latest fashion and travel trends in the future. Thanks to all who have followed our journey.

Beauty Review: Eyelash Extensions

Rachael Crawley Sigsbee — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 03:16:04 +0000

From Brazilian blowouts to waxing to hair extensions, I’m pretty much up for trying any beauty trend. I realize this is either a result of trying to fashion myself to fit in with the vain SoCal culture, or I have way too much time on my hands. Both are probably true.

My latest beauty try? Eyelash extensions. >READ MORE

Fashion Travel Obsessions

Most of the time I travel, the number of fashion faux pas I see in airports are a travesty. Yes, flying can be a long, tiring and uncomfortable experience. But it doesn’t mean you should sacrifice your style for the sake of comfort. Beauty is pain, people. It’s time to retire those Juicy velour pants and Ugg boots. From accessories to attire, here’s what you should be sporting when you travel. >READ MORE

Proper Wine Tasting Techniques

Shane and I both have an appreciation for wine, and the more we travel, the more our palate develops. We’ve participated in many wine tastings that not only give us an excuse to drink amazing wine, but also teaches us more about the culture of wine. >READ MORE

The Best of Italian Cuisine

Italian is one of my all-time favorite international cuisines. Not our Americanized take on Italian cuisine., i.e. the Olive Garden, but authentic, generations-old, homegrown, made-by-the-90-year-old-matriarch-of-the-family Italian, which is one of the reasons we choose to go to Italy on our honeymoon. >READ MORE
