How to: Travel In Style

Over the last few months I have been working like crazy and traveling in all my free time, which got me thinking about doing a post on how to travel stylishly yet comfortably. Deciding what to wear when you travel can be a daunting task. When I fly I like to look presentable but still be as comfortable as possible. I always start with my favorite jeans or leggings paired with a slouchy t-shirt and either a blazer or wrap sweater to bring the look together. Bringing a big scarf is another one of my must have items when I travel. I like to wrap up in my scarf on the plane since I am always cold when I fly. And lastly, make sure you choose a comfortable pair of flats or boots for those long walks through the airport. If you're traveling to and from somewhere warm you can always swap out the jeans and t-shirt for a maxi dress, which still looks great with a blazer and scarf thrown over it. Besides my travel outfit, my other go to items when I travel are a large tote bag that fits my ipad, laptop, makeup and jewelry as well as this awesome aluminum carry on suitcase from Rimowa. Happy Travels!

Eat, Pray, Love


I finally watched the movie Eat, Pray, Love and...I loved it. Mostly I liked seeing the fabulous places Julia Roberts character, Liz, travels to, and all the delicious food she eats in Italy. I am now totally obsessed with the Italian diet. In the movie she eats her way through her time in Italy with delicious looking pastas, breads, wine, and vegetables in olive oil. So you are probably wondering what does this have to do with fashion? And the answer really is, Nothing. However, for so many of us, its hard to imagine enjoying bread, pasta, wine, cheese, and all the delicious Italian foods without thinking about if we are going to fit in our jeans the next day. In the movie, Liz accepts her new "muffin top" (aka jean bulge) and doesn't let it stop her from enjoying all the delicious flavors of Italy, instead, she buys bigger pants. I want to read Eat, Pray, Love now (I'm kind of ashamed to say that I haven't read it yet, since it seemed to be a book that everyone recommended) and I am going to try and take on Liz's outlook and enjoy life and everything in it, even with a few extra pounds from time to time.
