Fashion Forward Travel

I’ve been busy traveling, eating, and exploring many amazing places lately, which means I have some great new fashion tips and trends to share this week! Plus, I’m throwing in a few of my packing tips, too!

On Trend Tech Accessory
For those of you like me who haven’t upgraded your phone in a while, it’s time to get rid of that iPhone 5, or worse that iPhone 4! I’m now sporting a new rose gold iPhone 6s. I didn’t splurge with the Plus because it’s just too darn big for my petite hands. An accessory must-have for your new iPhone 6s is the Boostcase. It’s a fashionable battery-pack case with a standard case and an ultrathin case used for charging all in one. It’s great for business trips and for working on the road.

DIY Walking Tour App
Something I recently learned while travelling is that sometimes you can leave your guidebook at home. All you have to do is download the Detour app. It lets you take a creative audio walk around many cities and get a cool perspective of each place all on your schedule. Currently, you can experience places such as San Francisco, Paris, and Marrakech. Bring your little ones to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and experience the foliage in a different fun way with earbuds on!

A Stylish Way To Bundle Up
Capes, long sweaters and sweater jackets are in, in, in! I bought a fringy Derek Lam short sweater cape that I just love. It’s hip and it keeps me warm. There are so many long sweater vests to choose from this season – be sure to try one on and experience the warmth and sass that goes along with it!

Always Be Prepared For Fun
Whenever you’re on a business trip and you can tack on a side trip. Do so! But remember to pack the right clothes. I like to bring an extra handbag that I can wear across my body (hence, why they’re called cross-body bags). This way I can carry a bottle of water and other essentials to make my trip more comfortable. And don’t forget to pack jeans and some cute sneakers next to those business suits!

Carry On Essentials For Men
For men, I have some great travel hair essentials to bring on your next trip and pack in your carry-on:

  1. Shaving cream by Proraso
  2. Beard oil by Every Man Jack
  3. Aftershave by Grooming Lounge
  4. Pomade by Philip B.

These are just a few fashion forward tips I picked up during my last travels. If you’d like help planning or packing, Just Ask!

Until then,

Ciao!
