Let's Talk... Travel/Airport Style

As someone who studies in a different country I fly a fair bit. When travelling I want to look good but also be comfortable and I thought this would be a blog post worthy subject. Before googling it, I didn't realise that airport/travel fashion was actually a "thing" but apparently it is. What do ya know? I found a couple a snazzy looking ladies that capture the perfect airplane travel (in my opinion). This post is my idea of the perfect travel ensemble and they are just my thoughts of what to do and not to do - you may disagree or agree! 

My first MAJOR tip for comfortable yet stylish travel is a pair of ankle boots or flats. I do not understand people who travel in high heels - what even? You don't need to whack on a pair of stilettos to make an effort. You can look just as nice and be fifty times more relaxed in flat footwear.

Secondly - don't bother wearing a bunch of jewellery. Yes it looks nice but it will become annoying on the flight and you will probably have to take most of it (if not all of it) off at the security check. 

Makeup is another topic which I find crucial when discussing the matter of travel. I have never understood people who bother putting on a full face of makeup when going on a plane. The air on planes are not the most wonderful of things so why not give your face a break. You have the freedom to rub your eyes without panicking that you will end up having racoon eyes and it is generally just better for your skin to say bye bye to makeup for the day. On that note - no matter the length of the flight, I recommend bringing face wipes and moisturiser. Like I said - the air on a plane is a biatch and can really dry out your skin, so make sure you keep it hydrated and keep yourself feeling fresh!

When traveling I tend to go for the classic look of a pair of jeans or leggings with a nice baggy t shirt, a pair of boots of ballerina flats and a jacket of some sort. You never know if it is going to be cold where you are going (depending on your destination - obviously screw the jacket if you are going to Hawaii) or on the plane so a light jacket is a must! Keeping it simple and comfortable doesn't mean you can't look good. Less is more! 

If any of you are off on an adventure somewhere this summer I wish you a fabulous journey! Hope you are all doing well.

Much Love,

Top Picks - BooHoo

BooHoo has recently become one of my go to online shopping websites - affordable and fabulous items. Basically, this is hitting the jackpot for online shopping addicts like myself. I wanted to do a post dedicated to this gem of a website and share the pieces that have caught me eye. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

1. I have always been a massive lover of maxi dresses so when I saw this stunning aztec patterned dress... I couldn't not include it. The colours and cut of the dress are exactly what I love in a good summer dress.
2. When summer time arrives a fashion essential is a pair of shorts. It is a must. I have really been liking the boyfriend styled shorts trend and this pair is on the top of my wish list for my next online shopping spree. 
3. I have never been very into playsuits until recently when I bought my very first one from Asos - my life has been changed! They are the perfect lazy summer outfit. Throw on a cute patterned jumpsuit, a necklace and a cute pair of sandals and you can look fabulous whilst still feeling comfortable and relaxed. Best of both worlds. This adorable daisy patterned blue jumpsuit just screams summer - ammirite? 
4. The trend of statement necklaces is one that has always scared me a little - I never felt like I could pull off those big, fabulous pieces.. But I am slowly working my way into the trend with necklaces like this large floral necklace. It is simple in its colour, however, stunning in its bold structure. 
5. Dresses are no stranger to my wardrobe - I almost have too many (is there really such a thing? too many dresses? neverrrr!) but a few more won't hurt! I am a big fan of looking stylish whilst being comfortable and the swing dress, like this black and white paisley slip dress, is perfect for this, especially with the temperatures rising. 
6. Pink is a colour I tried to escape for many years (I own a pair of pink shorts now. Thats it) but for whatever reason, the colour has become more appealing to me recently. When I saw this lovely pink strapless dress I immediately fell in love with it. It is such a refreshing and girly shade of the colour!
7. These black high waisted scalloped shorts are a perfect staple piece that can be dressed up and down! 
8. Turquoise is one of those colours that can liven up an outfit - just a pop of the colour on your nails, a necklace or shoes can add that extra something to an ensemble. I fell for these snazzy turquoise and gem statement earrings and started imagining them with various outfits right away - they are small yet so very effective. 
9. Pineapple and Watermelon anything will have my approval. Always. I don't know why but there is just something so summer and vibrant about those fruits. So when I found these funky pineapple printed shorts, they were without a doubt added to my wish list!

That is it for my current BooHoo wishlist - I hope you guys enjoyed and found some items that you may be interested in! Have a wonderful day!

Much Love,

Caroline
