Tips For Packing Smart Part 1

As you may know, I’m starting my vacation next Friday and my boyfriend and I are doing a west coast roadtrip! Starting with Seattle, we will spend three nights there, then three nights in Portland where we are going to eat lots of donuts from Voodoo Donuts yeah!! Then,  we will take the road to San Francisco and we will make a stop in a small town on the way there. We are going to spend our last four days in San Francisco, I just can’t wait!!

I have been wanting to do a post on what to bring in your luggage for a two-week light travel for a while. I did a couple of backpack travel so I’m quite good at packing smart now! For part one I’ll start with what to bring on the plane,  here’s some of my tips!

What to bring on the plane:

First, for taking the plane, you have to dress comfortable. My best plane outfit include a nice pair of sporty legging, dark ones, black or dark grey. For the top, the best is layering. Start with a good looking but comfortable tank top, cause it can be hot during the landing and depending where’s your destination it can be hot outside too! Then as a second layer use one of your favourite long sleeves. For my part I have a black long sleeves henley shirt, it’ perfect! Always bring a nice scarf, this is a key items for travelling smart, on the flight you can use it as a blanket! During your trip you can use it as a blanket at the park, as a picnic tablecloth and of course when it’s a bit chilly!

On your feet depending the season, wear a pair of shoes or boots that are easy to remove for security check at the airport. During summer a nice pair of Birkenstock is the best! Now in your bag, use a good size tote and bring:

  1. Your favourite book (not too heavy)
  2. Earbuds for a movie or your music
  3. Your Ipad, Ipod, or whatever you have to listen to your music!
  4. Hand Sanitizer
  5. Light snacks; dry fruits, nuts, chocolate, granola bar.
  6. Bottles of water, you need to keep hydrate cause it’s really dry on the plane!!
  7. A rich face and hand cream and use it right before you board.
  8. A pair of comfy socks (cause it’s always freezing on the plane)
  9. A good size scarf
  10. Headache pills (just in case)
  11. Eye mask and a neck cushion

From London To Milano By The Street

Don’t you find that people from London and Milano colourful and inspiring! I enjoyed a lot searching for the best street styles look for you from the London and Milan Fashion Week.

I find that there’s a real difference from New York, a lot more colors and a lot less minimalist. Even if for myself I prefer simple and minimalist look I still get really inspiring from extravagant and marginal people. When I was a teenager, a dressed really marginally, I didn’t want the other kids look similar to me, I always wanted to be different. With the years, I found myself and now I’m more into simplicity!

See you soon for more inspirations xxx

NYFW Spring/Summer 2015 Street Style Part 2

Hey! Happy Sunday, I’m a bit late with this one, London Fashion Week is already on. But better late than never right! Here’s my NYFW street styles part 2. You can see a lot of athletic mix with tailored suit, sneakers wore with trouser pants, branded tee wore under a blazer ect.

There’s also a lot of denim, I could have added more pictures of it. We can see a lot of denim on denim outfit, fringe denim, patchwork, shirts, jeans and hats. It’s the year of denim and with the Japanese influence it make sense.

NYFW Spring/Summer 2015 Favorite show Part 1

Six days have past since the beginning of the NYFW. For today I want to share with you my three favourite shows so far. I haven’t had the time to see everyone of them, but my biggest one and my usual favorite!

The Row

Let’s start with The Row. I love how they are able to give this unique sophisticated modern twist to their collection. The fluidity, the tonal colors and the huge oversized pieces bring this collection to the next level. I also like the fact that the only shoes on the show are simple double straps slides. I can’t wait to see how they will elevate the line every season.

Rag & Bone

You can’t go wrong with Khaki, Rag & Bone have understood and used it to their advantage. I love how they integrated men’s inspired pieces, but in a  sexy way. My big crush in this collection is the pleated skirt attached to a chino base, LOVE!! I also fell for the oversized parka and their digi print! I just can’t wait to see their footwear collection, they look fabulous!!

Tibi

What a beautiful collection Tibi offered us this season. I would share the entire collection with you since I literally love every pieces. First let’s start with the footwear, we can’t see them well in the pictures, but for what I could see, OMG the flat mules in the second picture, don’t you want them!! The highlight of the collection, they integrated the major trends of the season perfectly, a practical and easy to wear look. We can see a certain Japanese influence with the quilted fabrics, the belt, the sleeves and also the hats!!

Stay tune for part two!

You know how much I would love to be there, and to be your eyes during this week. Unfortunately I will have to do it from Montreal, but I will do the best resume possible!! Enjoy the week, and let’s start with some kick ass street styles!!

What we can notice from the first two days; sneakers are still huge, relax outfits with a sophisticated touch. It’s all about comfort, feel great and look great! I love it, don’t you? Pleated skirt are bigger than ever, the culottes are still there and I think they will stay for the next season. Loose trousers, and comfy sweaters paired with great sneakers. A skirt over a pair of sleek pants, we know that Margaret Zhang is the best to interprete this look! See you soon for more xxx
