Packing Tips
- Packing Cubes Are Your Friend
Despite initial skepticism, Huber has become an advocate for packing cubes. These organization marvels make traveling with a carry-on suitcase considerably more manageable, especially for extended trips.

Miami
Traveling to Miami in the spring can be tricky due to its unpredictable weather. Despite the risks of rain, Huber suggests packing lightweight, wrinkle-resistant fabrics like white poplin and linen. Miami's lively atmosphere calls for the opportunity to showcase bold and statement-making wardrobe pieces. However, bear in mind the bag requirements and comfortable footwear necessities for the Grand Prix.

One of Huber's standout pieces in Miami was a white poplin dress by Tibi, suitable for hot, humid days at the race. This versatile piece received an abundance of compliments and is both eco-friendly and sweat-resistant. For a chic and iridescent night out, Huber wore a hot-pink version of Tory Burch's viral yellow dress from S/S 23. This head-turning number has already sold out in multiple sizes, so those planning a trip to Miami should act promptly.

Seoul
Huber's outfit choices for Seoul were geared more towards versatility and simplicity, consisting of wardrobe staples like a white poplin skirt, wrinkle-proof black trousers, and a plaid button-down shirt. Throughout her stay, Huber relied on adaptable and chic items like the Damian Pants by Kallmeyer, a popular travel pant for their ability to withstand wrinkles and accommodate various styling options.

Chicago
As a native of Chicago, Huber has experience navigating the city's unpredictable weather. For a formal wedding and cocktail event, she wore an elegant high-neck column dress from Bernadette and heeled sandals from The Row. The remaining days of her trip were spent at her boyfriend's parents' house, where comfort reigned, and casual outfits like button-down shirts, knits, and white carpenter jeans from Banana Republic dominated her wardrobe.
