Travel Attire...Destination Unknown

There is a rather large secret that I must tell in due time, concerning travel. However until then there is a dilema that every girl struggles with when traveling. WHAT TO WEAR!!?? For my upcoming adventure, I must research to make sure that I have the perfect outfit at all times.

To start, my least favorite outfit of every vacation, the "traveling" outfit. My mother always says, "you never know who you are going to see at the airport or on the plane". AKA, never wear shorts and a t-shirt.

Let's start with shoes.. they must be comfortable, and preferably not open toed on an overnight flight. My preference is a cute pair of oxford flats or http://www.toryburch.com/ flats. Both are comfortable, and can be re-worn throughout the week of travel.

Yes, it is important to be comfortable on the plane but that does not mean pj pants.

1. Not only is this look relaxed/proffessional, but also follows chic current trend, "color blocking" ~ with this look its probably best if you sit close to an exit its definitely bright

2. I love this look because it's breezy, yet non descript. The perfect travel dress is one that can be rolled away and doesn't wrinkle.

3. "Celeb" plane style.. but cleaned up a bit... usually you see greasy hair and big glasses. This is a great summer look! Blazer, stripes, high waisted wide leg pant, and satchel

4. Thanks to shopbop.com you can find just about anything! Great simple look with colors that don't stand out, but look professional. I wish I could rock that braid!

Chic Cactus

My husband and I went to a fabulous nursery this weekend called Thompsan Hanson, which is conveniently located next to their landscape design firm http://www.thompsonhanson.com/ and quaint, delicious restaurant, Tiny Boxwoods.

There we purchased a couple of my new chic obsessions, succulents. They are beautiful cacti that come in a variety of soft gray/greens, purples, and warm tones.

These lovely little plants are perfect for interior decor et al!

Succulents are perfect for indoors because unlike most plants, they do not require direct sunlight and very little maintenance.

My husband and I ventured to an estate sale in Houston and bought a few ceramic cups and a matching pitcher, then used them as pots for our new succulents!

 

The MET Ball

As stated in the Cut Blog "The Oscars of the East Coast! The only red carpet that is actually reliably quite fashionable!"

Monday night was the Met ball. A glamorous party that honored Alexander McQueen. Here are my favorites from that spectacular night that.. hopefully one day I will get to go. :)

Her Royal Highness

Sarah Burton, of the design house of Alexander McQueen, designed Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress. 

Fashionologie.com wrote an article with a quote from Sarah saying,  "It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Katherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it," Burton said. "It was such an incredible honour to be asked, and I am so proud of what we and the Alexander McQueen team have created. I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Katherine on her wedding day."

The dress is beautiful, and reminds me of Grace Kelly's wedding Dress. I love the deep V in the front! Absolutely stunning! Thank you Instyle.com for the images of Kate!

 I love the detail on the back of Catherine's Dress.
