How to...Travel In Style



Most people that know me know that I travel a lot. Whether Malaysia or Russia, most likely, I've been there. My experience of international long distance flights has been exactly 12 years long (I went to London when I was 4 for Thanksgiving), so during those flights, I always pondered on the question, "Can you look good and still be comfortable while traveling?" Now comfort usually isn't my strong suit, because usually I would recommend the 4 and 3/4 inch Christian Louboutin Very Prive pump, but I have put a lot of thought into what the credentials of this would have to be. Sensibility, durability, and breathability all come in mind. First I would start out with leggings. I would suggest stirrup leggings, like these Miu Miu ones, because they instantly make your outfit look more expensive. I would then pair them with a t shirt with a design on them, like this DAY Birger et Mikkelsen stripped t shirt, because it makes the outfit a little less monochromatic and a little more eye catching. I would also cover up with some type of cardigan. I really liked this Splendid merino-blended cardigan, because it was semi sheer, and the piping of the cardigan was silver, making it a little different than a typical gray one. I would then suggest stepping into simple black patent leather Lanvin flats, because they're super chic, and easiest to remove during security check. Finally, your magazines and passports should be thrown into a super light Goyard tote for your own maximum comfort and flexibility. Just remember, don't start out your trip wrong by packing your liquids in your carry on!
