How a Jewelry Designer Does a Week in the Islands

There’s something fantastic about having a glamorous, globe-trotting friend or two to group message you pictures that make you say “How is that even real?” from their jaunts around the world. It’s like all the best parts of lurking someone’s incredible trip on Instagram only without running the risk you’ll accidentally “like” a photo from a billion years ago. And best of all? You get all the juicy details (and insider information) they probably left out of their caption.

We’re lucky to have a few such friends, and one of them is jewelry designer (and burgeoning lip mask ’preneur—watch your back, Kylie!) Kristen Noel Crawley. Because sharing is caring, she’s letting us experience her trip to Nassau, Bahamas, through the bird’s-eye view of her Camera Roll. Here, she lets us in on the nitty-gritty of her trip—plus, everything she packed. Think of this as just the push you need to book that Labor Day weekend getaway.
