SUMMER TRAVEL STYLE// fashion, styling



PLANNING A TRIP? WHAT TO WEAR?

It s been awhile since we had a trip anywhere, with lockdowns, travel restrictions and quarantines , it seems like travelling anywhere is not possible.  I use to take a few trips  to far off places, but after
a long haul flight of  so so many hours, it does not appeal to me as much anymore. Running  through large airports for connecting flights, finding the terminals and the lineups - well you get the idea.

Airports use to be fun but now i find them to overwhelming and more traveller pushing or running you over with the cases is  like being at an amusement park.

I have more or less fallen in love with train travel, it takes longer but it is so much more soothing.
Plus more comfortable and relaxing. Plus better for the environment, which is very important!



SHOP MY CLOSET LOOK

My ideal outfit to wear , especially if going via train are a pair of slacks , a top, tank top or t-shirt, flat shoes and a good size tote.

Linen slacks are the coolest to wear and now linen items are available in many styles.
A top to throw over the shoulders if chilly or wear it, plus simple tank top for when it gets to hot.
Flat shoes are also good idea to wear , when climbing stairs


TRAVELLING STYLE

This long sleeve sweat top is a favourite, with the shoulder details and the colours.





A pair of linen slacks with pockets , this pair has added stretch
great for sitting in.








A roomy tote to hold all things needed for a trip.... books , scarfs, water, glasses , phone, etc.





OVERALL LOOK.  LOVE THE COLOUR COMBO. THE TOP I HAD FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
BUT KIND OF LEFT IT SITTING IN CLOSET. SAME WITH THE SLACKS.
THE ONLY NEW ITEM IS THE TOTE.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
