{ flight suit }



{ travel gear: F21 laptop case (i carried it as a clutch HERE), coach carry-on, tumi suitcase // wearing: lanvin for h+m sunnies, eskuche headphones, leifsdottir cardigan, missoni shirt, anya hindmarch bag, gifted elizabeth & james ‘jimi’ jeans, stuart weitzman boots }



i snapped these pics en route to the airport over the weekend, and am coming to you now from las vegas, where i’ve decamped for a few days’ work before fashion week kicks off. traditionally, i’d prefer to wear something drapier for the flight, but after being patted down in surprisingly suspicious palazzo pants too many times, i’ve finally given in to more mainstream travel togs ~ ie something less likely to arouse unwanted attention at check-in. luckily, these elizabeth & james dungarees (which i feel very lucky to have scored in two colorways, these being the ‘warm rinse’) are so soft and stretchy that i barely know they’re there! add in a silken tee and ruffled cardi and it all made for a pretty easy compromise ~ and an impressively pain-free flight.

    How to look fashionable in an everyday look: you can look at the glamourai, she knows how to do it. It’s not so easy to combine simple pieces into a fashionable/stylish/comfortable outfit. I love the color combination, the neutral colors work great together. Especially with the small bag. You always need a big bag for travel, oh hand luggage: we always wanna take more than we need.

    Amazing how you can look this fashionable without looking like you made a lot of effort! I wish it was that easy for everyone!
    Your blog is amazing, especially the DIY part, I'm totally in love with that!

    I just would like to let you know that I absolutely LOVE your blog, I visit it every so often and I am always impressed with it. You even have me looking at other blogs and other sites that have been truly inspiring as well! I was wondering though, I love this Flight outfit, I've been trying to find that white Coach carryon- and I haven't been able to locate one- it's so cute! Do you know if it is still being made? Or maybe it's older? Thanks so much! :D
