What to Pack: LONDON

so I'm heading across the pond to visit my parents in London. It is absolutely freezing over there so my usual S. FL get ups will not do. I've packed rain boots for snow, over-the-knee boots for comfort and non rain days. I've packed oversize sweaters, comfy under tees, and eventually my perFURect fur jacket whenever I find it which may be over there. These riding pant inspired leggings are going to be a life saver! Where are the holidays taking you all?

Traveling Chic Tips

Since I'm traveling home to see my family this week Rachel Zoe's Report for "Top 20 Travel" caught my interest. Check it out for your trips this summer:)

Spring Break Done Right

This post was inspired by a true horrendous outfit sighting. I was stuck in the airport and saw a girl wearing the above. No joke. Homemade Spring Break tackiness. This is not ok.

I understand the excitement of going away for break but:

1. It isn't ok to advertise where you're going too many crazies out there

2. I am all about DIY but maybe a DIY Chloe shirt, last time I checked neither of these pieces were on the runway

3. You should dress for your best self no matter where you go.

So I put together some alternatives for you. For the travel I understand you want to be comfortable, ok so throw on some denim shorts, a nice light blouse, and some wedges. For the beach wear your suit and some bangles to dress it up. Going to dinner and drinks afterward? Throw on a bright caftan and your wedges and you're set. Come on ladies! Dress for your best self no matter where you are heading.

Fly Me to the Moon

I am doing a lot of traveling the next few weeks. I feel like I always sport the same ensemble when I travel but comfort is must. I made a fun polyvore of what I'll be toting with me this trip.

I always wear my satin leggings because they are comfortable and still stylish and don't show any spots of something happens to get on them. I always wear a baggy cardigan with a baggy tank underneath because the temperature in the airplane I feel like it goes from hot to cold to hot. I always wear flats or flat boots easy to take to off through security and on the plane. A large scarf is a must because it can double as a blanket!

Since I'm lugging my laptop/I-pod/ and mags I always bring a Longchamp-again water and stain resistant, travels nicely. My partner in crime perfect travel companion my Pomeranian Dash and his carrier! I get such a work out lugging him around with my other stuff. I only take like one or two magazines and the book of the moment Overnight Socialite ( I feel like you ALL would LOVE it). Huge sunnies are a must for that person who WONT put their window shade down. A fresh chapstick is a must, is it just me or do your lips get so rough during a flight? I usually bring a DVD set to watch because my flight is short, one episode of Gossip Girl and I'm there!

Happy & safe travels dolls.
