Handle Holiday Traveling in Style

Since I travel every Christmas to my mom's house in Texas, I have basically mastered packing and what to bring on the plane for the holidays. Even though I feel like I have my airport traveling down to a science my mom taught me how to appropriately dress for it. My mom always use to tell my sister and I when we were growing up is, "Don't ever look like a slob going to the airport and do not ever wear sweatpants". I never understood why she told us this because I just wanted to be comfortable. So the question is, how can you travel comfortably and still look put together especially when traveling from one climate to another?

1. Make sure you wear layers! I cannot tell you how many times that I wish I could shed a layer or add layers. The best way to do this is wear a basic tee, a light jacket over it, jeans, and add a scarf. So if you get too hot you can just start taking layers off, which I always end up doing second I land in Texas coming from chilly Utah.

2. Do not wear open toed shoes- Planes can get very cold and although flip flops are convenient they will not keep you warm. If you want to wear something easy and comfy wear a boot that you can easily get on and off for security checks. Emu Australia makes a great comfortable boot, the Ashby, that still looks cute! If you want something with a heel I obviously am going to recommend the Rag & Bone Newbury boot. I'm not only obsessed with them, but they are also comfy and chic.

 

 

 

3. Add a hat- Planes always give me horrible hair because I am always playing with it or moving it around on the plane, so I always bring a hat. Hats always are a great last touch to an outfit and make you look chic and put together.

Usable Stocking Stuffers

Every year around Christmas time I go and visit my family in Texas, which means my suitcases is full of gifts and of course my whole entire  closet (who knows what the weather will be like!). I normally end up having to pay a larger fee for how heavy my suitcase is, so I buy all my stocking stuffers when I get there. I always end up in a rush trying to finish my shopping and just end up going to the CVS around the corner. I look in my basket each year and look at all the junky stuff they will ever use again, but at least its something right? Wrong! This year I am prepared with amazing stocking stuffers and I'm bringing a larger carry on to bring it all in. :) Here are a few items that my family will be pulling out of their stockings this holiday season:

Free People-Mexicana Slipper Sock 
These socks make the perfect gift! They are incredibly comfortable and soft with double layers, micro fleece lining, and polka dot bottom grips. They come in 3 different colors ( green, black, and ivory), so you can get them for multiple people in your family.





















These cute Animal Zip Pouches from Marc by Marc Jacobs are perfect for that animal loving fashion forward person in your family. Looks great and fun on the side of your purse or on your keys!










We obviously can't forget stocking stuffers for the men in our lives either! I always get the women in my family socks and the men always have this jealous look on their face when we are all putting on our cozy fuzzy socks  So this year I'm coming with a few pairs of socks.

Pantherella- Ellery Alpine Fair Isle Socks  - Great cozy socks for them to wear all winter long!

   

Mossimo Supply Co. Men's Crew Holiday Socks are perfect for getting them in the holiday spirit! 

Herschel Supply Co. makes great wallets and card holders that make perfect stocking stuffers! 

Those are just a few of my great stocking stuffer ideas that my family and friends will use more than once! Add some of these great gifts and you are golden, plus add tons of candy as well. That will always get eaten :)  Happy Holidays!

How to Wear a Leather Skirt

Leather has been everywhere this year and I am loving it! A new addition to the leather trend are leather skirts in all lengths and colors! The big questions is, how are you supposed to wear a leather skirt? This trend is actually incredibly versatile and looks great on everyone! Here are a few tips on how to rock your leather skirt this season:

1. Pair your leather skirt with a sweater! The sweater can be fitted or lose depending on what type of leather skirt you have bought. Skirts with more pleats look great with fitted sweaters! You can even pair a white blouse underneath for a casual yet dressy look. Skirts that have a closer fit can be paired with a bulkier sweater.

2. For a simple look, tuck a blouse into your skirt and pair with booties or pumps. Your outfit will look clean and effortlessly chic. 

3. One of my favorite ways to wear this trend is just pairing it with a basic t-shirt or a graphic tee. This look is casual but funky and fun!
