traveling in style

As an experienced traveler- I've had the misfortune of dealing with the pains of overweight baggages, extraneous lay-overs, and TSA security fiascos! I don't understand how celebrities manage 12+ hours on a flight and still come off looking fresh as helllllllllll 
So I've compiled a list of travel friendly tips to keep you looking  fab on all your worldly endeavors ... despite untimely airport delays. 

Travel Tip #1: Less is more.
When flying/sailing/driving long distances, you'll find that comfort is of the utmost importance... but you don't always have to sacrifice your style to achieve the maximum level of comfort. Grab on your favorite pair of VS yoga tights and UGGs and lets go on an adventure ;)

LEATHERETTE LEGGINGS
Fashion Steal: @TheFlauntShop's leatherette leggings paired with and oversized top- this outfit is sure to keep you feeling comfortable without having to sacrifice style!













Travel Tip #2: Accessorize Appropriately 

One of my fondest memories at the airport is when I was flying to Hawaii for the summer and got frisked and searched by TSA officers for forgetting to remove my belt + toe ring (#guilty)
Avoid holding up the line and those dirty looks by opting for a simple, more comfortable style when traveling. 
That means no superfluous jewelry - instead go with a cute tote and bangin' shades. This will keep you looking chic without over doing it.


  
My travel favorites are Long Champ's "le pliage" large travel tote paired with large classic black Ray Ban sunglasses.





Travel Tip #3: Plan Ahead

If you know you're going to be traveling for over 2 hours - do yourself a favor a be prepared. Times are hard, and there really is no time to waste! Stop by your local bookstore and pick up a copy of one of your favorites (i.e. Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, Ernest Hemmingway's A Farewell to Arms, or John Green's A Fault in our stars) or invest in a pair of bedazzled headphones to enjoy all of your favorite tunes in style. 



If you're more of an artist, find yourself a leather bound journal to document all of your travel experiences - whether you choose to write a poem or recreate an image in a quick art sketch or detailed drawing, you can never go wrong by purchasing a cute + durable notebook. 

Travel Tip #4: Snack Wisely

I hate on-flight purchasing, especially when it comes to FOOD. Although the m&m's at the airport souvenir shop may look enticing - try to keep limited amount of sugary snacks while traveling. 

I have a major sweet tooth, so in order to keep my snacking to a minimum I always make sure to purchase snacks before hand and keep them in my carry on.


My favorite snacks include almonds, pomegranate seeds and kettle corn. 

You should also plan on purchasing a large water bottle to have with you throughout the flight. We all know the importance of H2O 









What are some of the ways you travel in style?

Hope you all find these tips beneficial


Wish you safe and memorable travels my loves,

xoxo
