{recent} travel essentials

 

  1. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, $80 // This has transformed my skin since using each night before going to bed and it’s a new ritual. Plus teh bottle is under 3oz. for carry ons.
  2. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, $26 // This was a recent purchase and I love it for being lightweight, yet super hydrating. Also small enough for travel.
  3. Jouer spf 15 Lip Sheer in Positano, $22 // This was sent to me recently and I fell in love because the color is sheer, yet adds enough color to wake up your face just a wee bit for early runs to the airport.
  4. J.Crew Lula Patent Leather Ballet Flats, $128// These have been my footwear of choice on planes (and in life, really) and they are so comfortable.
  5. Luna Bar in Iced Oatmeal Raisin, $2 // If I don’t pack these, I eat horribly when at the airport. This is my flavor of choice.
  6. Benefit Cosmetics’ They’re Real Mascara, $22 // I do very little makeup these days and when I do it consists of a bit of lip color and this mascara. Instant transformation of your face with just your lashes. *dreams*

Over the years as I’ve traveled more for work and lots of long weekends with friends, etc., I’ve gotten real good at packing lightly and efficiently. My most recent trips to Clevelandand Los Angeles found me with light luggage and I’ve finally narrowed down to some of my most recent favorite essentials for when I pack up and hit the road and wanted to share those here.  Do you have any favorites I need to look into!?

spirit

 

Joie blouse, Gryphon skirt, Christian Louboutin shoes, Rebecca Minkoff clutch (sample sale score!), Kenneth Jay Lane necklace (c/o Thomas Laine), Jewlmint rings (c/o), J.Crew tights, Karen Walker sunglasses

These photos have been hiding on my hard drive and I just re-surfaced them. This is what I wore on Christmas Day. A touch of holiday spirit through a sparkly Gryphon skirt and rather simple in all other manners. It was unseasonably warm at home in Chicago for this time of year but I have to tell you, I kind of loved it, even though I missed having a white Christmas. I’ve since worn this skirt a few more times and this Kenneth Jay Lane necklace has become a staple in my go-to jewelry each day.

denim days

 

James Jeans Couture Skinny 1285 Vesper jeans, Vince sweater (last seen here),  J.Crew blouse, Steven by Steve Madden boots, Shopbop Bop Basics scarf (similar), Vintage gloves, J.Crew coat, Foley + Corinna bag

I’m a denim girl. I wear jeans most days and you can usually find me pairing skinny jeans with a blouse & heels at night and with boots & a sweater at work. Henceforth (yes, henceforth), I was excited to try a pair from the new James Jeans Couture Collection. They conform to your body while being super stretchy and also come in a really dark wash which I loved. James Jeans makes awesome jeans, period (another pair I love are here). I loved pairing the Couture Collection ones with layers in Georgetown while in DC this past weekend.
