10 Quick Tips to Travel in Style

Introduction

Whether you’re travelling abroad for a business meeting, embarking on a romantic weekend away or off on your annual holiday with your kids, you’ll want to travel in style. Here are 10 quick tips to travel in style – whatever your destination or mode of transport.

Tip 1 – Tie Your Hair Up

It’s really hard to keep your hair looking immaculate when travelling. You’ll be leaning against seats whether on a train, coach or airplane and you’re likely to be exposed to the elements somewhere on your travels which are likely to leave your hair looking rather messy. It’s just not practical to travel with all your hair styling accessories so the best solution is to keep your hair neatly tied back in either a ponytail or a bun.

Tip 2 – Pack Your Lip Gloss

By applying a thin layer of lip balm or lip gloss to your lips, you will instantly freshen up your look and make yourself feel better.

Tip 3 – Take a Travel Pillow

It’s a fact that travelling is tiresome whatever mode of transport you choose but let’s face it bags under your eyes simply aren’t stylish. Invest in a travel pillow to ensure you can catch a few winks in comfort and avoid those aging dark circles.

Tip 4 – Pack a Shawl

Air conditioning, open windows and waiting in airports or on railway platforms can be chilly. A shawl is a great solution. It’s not only stylish but will also help to keep you warm whether worn around your shoulders or across your legs.

Tip 5 – Make Sure The Man In Your Life Looks Good Too

Many ladies have made the mistake of looking after their own fashion needs and assuming their partner will do the same. Make sure your partner has some great gear too, ideally designer clothes for men, whatever just make sure your partner doesn’t let you down in the fashion stakes!

Tip 6 – Buy Coordinating Luggage

The current travel trend is to have co-ordinating luggage so this season invest in a matching suitcase, cosmetics case and handbag to ensure your travel in style.

Tip 7 – Pack a Change of Clothes

There’s nothing worse than experiencing an accident whilst travelling that will leave you in wet or stained clothes for the rest of your journey whether caused by spilt coffee, a nose bleed, a sick child or simply sitting in chewing gum. Therefore pack a complete change of clothes in your hand luggage so you can change into them if necessary.

Tip 8 – Paint your Nails

Having painted nails instantly adds a touch of glamour to your outfit. Why not paint your nails whilst on the train or airplane to kill some time and add a touch of style to your look.

Tip 9 – Keep a Journal

Over recent years, keeping a journal has become extremely fashionable so make sure you pack yours in your hand luggage. It will allow you to keep a note of interesting or memorable travelling events and also help to keep you entertained whilst travelling.

Tip 10 – Wear Wedges

Flat shoes are less than glamorous but high heels simply aren’t practical when travelling. By wearing a pair of wedges, you’ll get the best of both – plus they’re extremely fashionable this season.

Conclusion

We hope you’ve found these quick tips helpful – enjoy your travels!

Stay Cool Yet Look Great At Outdoor Summer Events

While summer means fun in the sun, you may already be glaring at the outdoors. For many of us, its far easier to look cool and collected in the winter, when layers and lovely textiles are the order of the day. In summer, it’s far too easy to look like a lank mess, so consider these important tips for keeping your cool even when it is sweltering out.

Wear Natural Fibers

To understand why you want to wear natural fibers, consider the science. When you sweat in a cotton shirt, the natural fibers pick up the moisture and pull it away from your skin, allowing it to evaporate. Polyester fibers do not pick up the moisture and instead you end up sitting in your own sweat all day. Keep cool in cotton and linen, the standard summer fabrics.

Up with Up-Dos

Summer is no time to have your hair down on your neck or hanging around your face. Not only does this allow your hair to get dirtier and faster, you’ll find that it can also conspire to make you look more tired and hot. Instead, put up your hair in a but, tie it up in a ponytail or braid it close to your head. This keeps you wonderfully cool when the breeze hits the back of your neck.

Keep the Makeup Minimal.

Here’s a horrible summer fact for you: in temperatures that are hot enough, makeup melts off of you. As you sweat, the powders on your face can turn into a muddy sludge, and that is the last thing you want. When you want to get made up for a summer event, stick with waterproof mascara and tinted lip gloss. That is a wonderfully fresh look for you in the summer sun.

Consider Sandals

One of the great pleasures of the summer is wearing sandals and having a great time outside. However, if you are tired of your old sandals, take advantage of some of the new styles that are available to you. This summer is seeing a lot of strappy sandals, ones with very narrow straps and just a little bit of metal detailing. Choose sandals that are stylish and remember that it is hard for one kind of shoe to do anything. If you have to get sandals for both the beach and the mall, so be it!

Sun Block and Lots of It

Nothing puts a damper on a fun summer day as much as sunburn or the specter of skin cancer. The sun’s rays are very harsh, especially on those beautiful bright days, so wherever you go, put on some sun block. The higher the SPF, the more protective it will be for your skin. If you have very pale skin, always slather this stuff on before you leave the house. Even darker skin won’t protect you, so be safe rather than sorry!

Moisturize

The sun and the warmth are great, but remember that they can dry your skin out very quickly. No one likes the itchy, uncomfortable feel of dry skin, so take the time to slather on some of your favorite lotion. Do this right after you come out from the shower and use a fresh, summer-scented lotion. Citrus and freesia are both great summer scents.

Consider what you want to look like this summer, and leave the lank hair and dull skin behind!
