Destination Style
November 03, 2009 | 32nd Edition

Wherever you’re headed for the holidays, we know you’ll want to arrive in style! And yes, wallets may be tighter this year, but not to fear! There are plenty of divine destinations right here in the US. From a snowy winter wonderland to a tropical delight, here’s a little guide for your style.

Cold East Coast: Stand out from the crowd as you watch the holiday parade or gather around lavish window displays in the city! Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean you can’t channel your chic city sophistication! Whether you’re headed to a show, a museum, or a friend’s loft for dinner, there’s no reason you can’t be cute and cozy! Layers and warm fabrics are a girl’s best friend in the chilly winter weather.

Moderate West Coast: True, we don’t experience seasons like most of the country, but we do get that crisp chill in the air called fall. With a warmer winter temp, you’re appropriately attired in ankle jeans with cute little booties. Don your favorite top and lightweight coat, and you’re ready for a Hollywood tour or a walk down the pier. Don’t forget a scarf to watch the sun set over the ocean!

Tropical South: Escape your winter wonderland to the land of eternal summer! So you’ve been working out but your climate isn’t quite conducive to showing off your newly toned arms? Or maybe you’re just ready for a reminder that warmer days are ahead! Well, the tropical south could be just what the doctor ordered. Rock those sleeveless options like it’s June! Pile on the layers when you head to the airport, and then peel them off to unveil a summer-stated you! Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Ski Resort: We’re off to Aspen, Mammoth, Jackson Hole, Vail, Squaw, or fill in the blank! After a day on the slopes, grab a cup of cocoa or a hot toddy and snuggle up in your teddy coat. Whether you’re hanging with friends or relaxing in quiet retreat, your fashions are all about comfort - but of course it’s always a bonus if coziness comes in a stylish package! And make sure to have a cute top underneath so when you’re sitting by the fire you can shed the top layer and still be lounging lovely.

Travel Revival
November 03, 2009 | 32nd Edition

Time is precious, and it’s the best gift we can give our family and friends this holiday season. Make the most of each valuable moment, and don’t let traveling slow you down. Pencil in just enough time for a quick trip to the powder room, and it’s possible to head straight from the airport to your first fun filled event! We asked our most experienced travelistas for their must-haves for freshening up in fast-forward and taking their look from travel day to date in minutes. With just a few key items, you, too, can be a travelista extraordinaire!

  • Trish McEvoy Instant Pick Me Up Lip Stain: Give your lips a little boost and bring out their natural color with this refreshingly minty flavored lip stain.
  • Cheek Stain: Along with your lip stain, this will give you all the color you need for a perfectly polished glow.
  • Nail Polish Remover Pads: There’s nothing like sporting chipped nails to a meeting or holiday event, so keep these in your purse at all times.
  • Evian Face Spray: Just a little spritz to reset your makeup, and the recycled plane air you’ve been sitting in fades away.

  • Hair Revival: To beat plane hair, keep a portable brush and dry shampoo in your carry on. After your flight, spray dry shampoo for extra volume and shine, then style, comb, and complete with hairspray.
  • Lotion: You skin will be parched from traveling, so moisturize with travel hand cream or body butter. Perfect for hands, feet, and even elbows!
  • Blotting Towels: If you won’t be able to wash your face for a while, tea tree oil blotting towels are the next best thing for preventing breakouts.
  • Portable Fragrances: Freshen up with a travel friendly roll on or stick of your favorite scent. Sephora has great options!
  • Magnesium: Like mom always said, don’t forget your vitamins! Magnesium reduces swelling and discomfort, especially when flying.
  • Tide Pen: Don’t leave home without one!

  • Lounge Pant
  • Ruched Crew Stripe
  • The Perfect Sweater

  • Challis Scarf
  • Hanky Wraps
