travel necessity { the smoking slipper }

travel essential { the smoking slipper }

While I love my heels, you will not catch me in them while travelling. One of my favorite footwear trends as of late is the smoking slipper; a great way to add a touch of masculine to your outfit in a subtle and stylish way. Plus they’re comfortable - the ~~second~~ most important factor when dressing for travel. Speaking of, off to Dallas friends! Happy Monday. xx

travel essential { the scarf }

I’m packing again, this time for NY. Stylish and practical, the scarf is the perfect accessory to travel in. It tends to get cold on long flights, so my favorites are those that are big enough to wrap around twice (+) and can be used as a light cover up in flight.

travel essential { the blazer }

I’m off to L.A. this morning, this time for business. One of the most essential items in my suitcase, whether the purpose of the trip be work or play is the blazer; pull jeans, a v-neck tee and flats together for the airport, pair with a pencil skirt or trousers for meetings, and the perfect topper over a cute dress in the evening. Classic navy is my favorite, but this fall I look forward to adding rich jewel tones and leather to my collection.
