9 Tips on How to Dress on a Plane…

I was over at AllWomenStalk when I saw this article on how to dress on a plane.
I think it's a shame that sleepwear-like casual attire has become the travel standard of so many, that it has become acceptable to visit another city or country dressed like a homeless person just because "it's comfortable".
Pajamas are for bed, and an airport/airplane is not a bed or any kind of private space you can pretend is a bed. Look polished at all times. Do it for yourself.



Whether you’re flying for two hours or ten, it’s important that you look the part when you get on, and off, the plane.

Plan your plane outfit as carefully as you plan your holiday looks, and you’ll have a much more comfortable ride!

1. Appearances matter …

Wherever you are, appearances matter, even more so when you’re on a plane. Dress well, and you’ll be the first person considered for an upgrade if one becomes available, and air stewardesses will respond more positively to you. Make sure you look the part!!

2. Do not wear a tracksuit …

However comfortable it is, tracksuits never look good. Even designer tracksuits shouldn’t be worn while traveling. Pick your boarding outfit carefully. Well fitting, tailored trousers will look smart as well as being comfortable, or a smart pair of dark colored jeans. If you are on a very long flight, you can always change into sweatpants when you’re on your way!

3. Wear cashmere …

Cashmere is soft, comfortable and stylish. Wearing a light pink, cream or white cashmere jumper will look classy and ensure you’ll be comfortable for the entire flight. You could also wear a large cashmere scarf, but again stick to pale, neutral colors.

4. Wear ballet flats …

Ballet shoes are available in so many colors and styles now that whatever you’ve chosen to wear there will be a perfect style available. They will be more comfortable and stylish than trainers, and will hurt your feet a lot less than heels!! You can also slip them off if you want to relax your feet, and they don’t take up much room if you want to swap footwear just before you get off.

5. Don’t forget big sunglasses …

Whether you sleep all the way through or you don’t sleep at all, nobody looks their best while on flights. Good quality sunglasses will protect your eyes from the harsh lights, making it easier to sleep, and preventing puffed up eyes. My sunglasses are always the first thing I pack, they make me look effortlessly stylish during the flight and are lifesavers when I’m being too lazy to put my make up back on!

6. Make Up!

Get a cute make up bag and make sure you pack it with essentials. When you get on board, you’ll need to take off your make up, and moisturize a couple of times during your flight. Toothpaste and a toothbrush will keep you feeling fresh, and make sure you’ve got some deodorant. And of course check that you’ve got make up to put back on before you get off!! It’s worth checking the current guidelines on what you can take onboard, and check all your make up passes.

7. A clutch …

Just something simple and chic that will hold your money, your credit cards and your tickets. Make sure it’s in a neutral color and will go will all of your outfits.

8. A well sized bag …

The Louis Vuitton speedy was made for this purpose. A bag that’s big enough to hold your clutch, your make up bag, your iPod, your phone, magazines and books is a must to keep everything together and organized. Again, stick to stylish, neutral tones.

9. Don’t forget about socks …

Make sure you have warm, comfortable socks on, however long your flight lasts. You could also invest in a pair of special flight socks, which maintain circulation in your legs.
By now, you should be ready to fly. Get a good night’s sleep and check your flight time and when you have to be at the airport the night before, and have fun!

Finally! A mini Vacation :)

Hello my dear friends,

Sorry you haven't heard much from me lately, but I've been gearing up for my upcoming trip. This time tomorrow I will be basking in the sun on the white sandy beaches of Mexico and getting some well deserved R&R while watching the beautiful sunsets. A vacation well overdue if I may say so myself.


Stay tuned for an update on how my week went and a review of the hotel along with the festivities that I will surely part take in. As always Avyanka and Kamilah will be sure to keep you entertained and in the know.

Talk to you soon.

Come Again?

Eva Mendes is claiming to have had sex in all 50 states. Slore! Nah, she says most of these trysts were during one road trip, (with one guy we assume) when she was younger. Best states for sex according to Ms. Mendes? Arizona and Colorado. Worst? Alaska. Frigidity is catching, huh?
Eva my dear, before finalizing your list, you really must try Brooklyn if you haven't already. I've heard trees grow there.
