Jetsetting | Bonne Fête de la Bastille

In honor of Bastille Day I wanted to share with you some photos from my trip to Paris. These are from a few years ago, but still relevant none the less. The City of Lights was then and always will be captivating for me. I look forward to a return visit next year and perhaps an extended stay at some point in my life.

Jetsetting | Airport Style

Those of you that follow me on Twitter (@StyleSaveur) know I'm currently on vacation in (cloudy and rainy) Puerto Rico. I also feel as though I've been in and out of airports for the past few months, traveling both for work and play. In my opinion, one of the most difficult parts of traveling is what to wear to the airport and on the plane. Most people carefully plan their vacation wardrobes down to organized checklists and photos of looks, but throw on whatever when its time to head to the airport. At least that's what I do since I'm usually done packing about 15 minutes before I have to head out the door. All of my recent jet-setting has allowed me to define a signature style for airport travel, a "uniform" of sorts.

First things first, my airport style is all about function and comfort. There will be no paparazzi following me or greeting me at my destination so there is no need to go glam. If that's your style I'm so not knocking you diva, keep rocking your 5-inch Louboutins. I just know that's not the look for me. I have to be able to breeze through the airport with ease and since it's required to remove jacket, shoes, pancreas to get through security, best believe it has to be easy for me to remove and put back on. That doesn't mean I'm going to look like I just rolled out of bed and threw on some sweats. I always strive to be chic and stylish, which can go hand-in-hand with casual.
