Simple Steps to Look Chic While You Travel

You want to feel comfortable on the plane. Who doesn't? But you want to look good as well. Unfortunately, those two rarely mix. Usually you find yourself hustling through the airport with a sheen of sweat adding more glow than you want, a bag that feels like you're shouldering a baby grand and hair flying away. And then, convinced that looking good at the gates is impossible you spot a post-security goddess: Louis Vuitton bag, sleek ponytail, perfect makeup, slouchy boots over slim denim and perfect jewelery. Here is how she does it:

We've have written about Gweyneth Paltrow's inspired jewelry layering skills before and when she was seen at the Los Angeles airport wearing our Tahitian and South Sea Lariat on Leather we knew she was the perfect model for this blog entry.

 

Step One: Use Gwyneth as a guide and ditch the gym gear. Start with a comfortable pair of slimming jeans. Remember, not too tight. You want to be comfortable no matter how long the flight. 

 

Step Two: Add on a stylish tee or a tunic if boho is your style. The important thing is to keep it chic. One of our personal favorites is the boyfriend tee, an extra long fitted style. It has great shape and covers the trouble spots too!

Step Three: Accessorize! The right jewelery can help elevate any outfit. For an easy Hollywood look go with Fringe Hoop earrings; filled with 14 karat gold pieces and finished with black suede. If necklaces are your go-to pieces we suggest the 14 karat gold filled leatheret in cognac. It adds a splash of color and looks great with jeans and a t-shirt.

 

Step Four: Don't carry on too much. Take a great handbag plus something small and manageable for your magazines, iPad, or even old fashioned paperbacks. The less weight the more comfort. 

 

Safe travels!
