Comments: Oh, What to Wear When in the Air? Elastic waists, sleeveless tops To keep you comfy when it's hot. Sitting on the tarmac, waiting to go You need to be able to wiggle your toes. Take a shawl to throw around your shoulders Will come in handy if you feel colder. Do carry-on only and keep it light Who wants to spend vacation time being uptight Waiting for lost luggage and filling out forms When you could be seeing the sights or heading back home. If on a long flight, compression socks are a must-- Don't want your veins to go bust.
Comments: The difference between a tourist and a well-heeled world traveler lies, in part, in a few carefully chosen accessories. These 4 tricks make my travel both carefree and elegant: 1. It’s all about the shoes - It’s easier now to find shoes that are comfortable, versatile and still stylish. My ideal travel shoe is a closed-toe pump designed for walking. It has an air-cushioned sole, an ankle strap for security and a slight heel to help keep my back aligned while strolling through parks, museums and palazzos. 2. Forgo jewelry - Instead, invest in a few inexpensive scarves. I wear them as headbands, ponytail holders, belts, or wrapped around my wrist for a splash of color. They also take up NO space. 3. Sunglasses – A must whether I’m having Tea in the Sahara or Mid-Winter Borscht in Siberia. Invest in a pair that fit comfortably, provide UVA and UVB protection and are large enough to protect the delicate skin around your eyes. 4. Simple makeup - SPF face lotion, lip balm, mascara, concealer (for minor imperfections), and just the right shade of red lipstick keeps me looking fresh and feeling “pulled-together”, day or night. Top with a little powder for a finished look.
Comments: Title: Black and White and REaDy All Over My travel tip is to pack travel clothes that are black and white. I like to take black and white prints as well as solid white and solid black. All of the items go with black shoes and a black bag. I feel like I am ready for anything from a day in the city to a night on the town. Take a couple of pairs of black shoesone for comfort and one pair that has a little, foxy heel . One faux pau I will never forget was wearing a pair of barefoot sandals in early April in New York City. Everyone else was still wearing boots!
Comments: Pockets, pockets and more pockets... Okay, admitedly I am not a "world traveler" but I once traveled to Gay Paris; stayed at the Ritz and galloped unwittingly across a dude ranch. One forth of July I spat in a river and knew that the next year my "contribution" would reach the Pacific. I travel with ease because I wear pockets, pockets and more pockets: not pocketbooks, not purses, not cases, not bags, just pockets. Pockets free me, release me, balance me and allow me to be simply ME!Pockets are me, from me, in me and carry me. No knives, no needles to knit Afgans, no box cutters to hurt........ just pockets, pockets and more pockets to hold me, embrace me and mine........ carry me from hither to yon.........in my big men's small blazer with pockets, pockets and more pockets. How I love my pockets!
Comments: While traveling, I would strongly recommend wearing skirts when possible. Two words: Squat Toilets. Antibacterial hand spray or wipes are also useful in such situations. |
