Travel Style & Essentials...

Today, I thought it would be fitting to post a little about travel style and essentials as I just made the long trip home from Rio de Janeiro to Minneapolis. So glad to be home!

My Travel Style :: 
When I fly, I usually like to dress up a little bit.  You never know who you may meet or bump into, so I feel better knowing that I put some effort into my look.  Although, I know it would be more comfortable throwing on some comfy Lulu Wonder-Unders, I try to go the little bit more dressed up route.  I read a great quote in the Artful Living Magazine on the plane today... "People will stare. Make it worth their while." Harry Winston

Outfit Pairing
J.Crew :: White BootCut Denim
Tory Burch :: "Lilah Wedge Espadrille"
Burberry :: Check Merino Wool Scarf via Nordstrom
Old Navy :: Black Linen Button Down (Old)
Bags :: Both Michael Kors

IN FLIGHT NECESSITIES ::
:: Noise Canceling headphones
:: A scarf or wrap is great for layering
:: Water. Lots of it. A must-have to stay hydrated and help with jet lag.
:: A medium or large handbag - to fit all of the things you will want to easily access during and after the flight - chapstick, lipgloss, wallet, iPhone, etc. (Don't forget to pack your charger in your carry-on for international flights - you can charge it up while you fly!)
:: I tend to opt for a glass of champagne (or wine) to calm the nerves and help me fall asleep for the long flight ahead
:: Favorite Mags
:: Fully charged iPad full of your favorite tunes, movies, apps and games. 

Happy Travels,
