Hi, I’m Olivia!

Welcome to Check the Bag!

I’m a fashion writer, travel enthusiast, and content creator based in Hoboken, NJ. Whether it’s curating a shopping wishlist or a travel itinerary, I’m looking for the next best item or destination that will stand the test of time.

I travel frequently and even though I know better, I always overpack. I think curating outfits for a specific location is half the fun of the adventure! Discovering local shops is one of my favorite ways to explore a new city. My apartment is filled with art from around the world and my favorite pieces in my closet were purchased abroad. I never know what I’ll come home with so you can bet that when given the option, I check the bag (or two!).

I’m excited to share travel and fashion guides, pieces of my home life in Hoboken, and more with you here!
