HALF-OFF HOTTIE: Airport styles (don't let your style lag!)

Since I’m going out of the country this week and I’ve already started thinking about what to wear on and off the plane, I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to discuss airport fashions.

It appears that some time ago, someone decided that airports and airplanes are a style-free zone. I’m here to tell you that whoever said that was probably jet-lagged after a 20 hour flight, possibly intoxicated and/or not thinking straight. Obviously. Because while comfort is important, especially on a red-eye flight, this can be attained without compromising your fashion sense.

Airports are fun! People everywhere, awesome duty-free stores, free peanuts, and best of all? a reason to kick back and get a few drinks (albeit tiny. Hello 2 oz. wine glasses!) with no need for a designated driver. Sounds like the perfect party to me!



















I love Carrie Underwood in this airplane-friendly outfit. She's casually dressed, but looks put-together.

Now, let's take a look at this fabulous outfit for less, so that you can save your pennies for your destination.

The Vera Bradley Duffel

I am headed to Vegas soon, so a lot of today's postings will be travel related! First up: the Vera Bradley Duffel.

I remember when I brought my duffel in the summer of 2006. I purchased it for $88.00 I needed a weekend bag that I could throw clothing into quickly and jet off. At the time, Vera Bradley was ALL the rage. Everyone had one!

The bag looked flimsy, and I questioned how long it would last. Well, four years later, it's still going strong! I love my duffel so much. It wears like iron! Sure it has a few rips here and there, but I have used and abused this bag, and I've never had to get the straps replaced (I am not sure how this is even possible!)

Unfortunately the lovely pattern on my duffel (see above) has been discontinued, but I found this super cute owl themed pattern to be equally charming.

Made By: Vera Bradley

Price: $55.00 (originally $80.00)
