Download Clumsy Chic 5-day Havana Travel Itinerary We travelled to different parts of Cuba and Havana was an easy favorite. Although, the time spent at the beach was wonderful, there’s nothing quite like feeling the pulsating energy of Havana. It’s a treat for the senses. For photography enthusiasts like Anthony and I, we found ourselves […]

I always feel at home whenever I’m in Montreal. Instead of staying in a hotel, Anthony and I prefer staying in an Air BnB apartment, so we are close to our favorite neighborhood. We skip on the touristic activities, instead, living the life of Montrealers. Our typical day would start with walking to the nearest […]

Anthony and I stayed at this beautiful Air Bnb apartment in Montreal. I fell in love with the house’s interior accents especially this gold plastic dinosaur planter in the bathroom. I’d look at it every day while I brush my teeth and wondered where the owner got it. After much inspection, I realized that it […]

We touched down in Havana, and it immediately felt like time stopped in the 1950s. Everything that is written about this city is true, but I found it to be a beautiful paradox.

Looking for the perfect beach cover up is as difficult as finding the perfect bikini. There are various styles, fit, color and fabrics to take into consideration and there are even options that matches your bikini. My beach style does not stray away from my street style – simple, classic and slightly androgynous. Now translate […]

I’m not a frequent flyer but I like to be super prepared when I do fly to feel comfortable especially during a long-haul flight. With our recent trip to Cuba, I was dreading our 14-hour flight to Montreal plus a 4-hour flight to Cuba from Montreal. To keep myself sane, I made sure I pack […]

Anthony and I arrived in Trinidad,Cuba after a 4-hour journey from Varadero. We were greeted by the rural charm of the city and felt like time stood still the moment we stepped out of the bus. A family member of the casa we were staying picked us up from the bus station. We made our […]

Some countries I visited trigger a certain fashion inspiration in my head. I think of Breton stripes when in Paris, long dresses when in Bali and a little ‘Kawai’ when in Tokyo. Cuba is no different. I was inspired by Cuban men’s fashion when packing for this trip. I had a distinct image of Cuban musicians jamming […]
