travel too many fish to fry too many fish to fry skip to content home about faces of adoption loss infertility fashion stoicism tag archives travel may 13 2013 7 21 pm how to dress four steps to being plane ready i ve flown a ton in the last few months weddings graduations a work trip and a vacation some flights were international some were in the us only here s the thing i hate flying i do i m afraid to fly the only thing i ever wanted to be on a plane was comfortable or so i thought until i got puked on and had to wear that same outfit to a business meeting because the airline lost my luggage it made me seriously reconsider my plane uniform of sweats planes are cold usually sometimes the weather can vary dramatically from departure to arrival like if you fly into a stopover where there s snow then land somewhere that s 80 degrees and sunny so you need to be prepared for a variety of temperatures i finally realized that i should wear something that is flexible and could be a cute outfit in a variety of ways if i get stuck somewhere or my luggage does or i get puked on here s the other thing if i felt cute and put together i felt more confident on the plane less scared to fly even i m not really sure why that is so here s my 4 step style plan for dressing for a plane ride 1 wearing lightweight layers is the key i like lightweight layers for a few reasons if you are going somewhere hot you can easily pack them away in your carry on once you are at your destination and no one will be the wiser i usually wear some kind of tank top or tank dress to layer over my leggings the only pants i will wear on a flight see step two then i wear a cardigan or sweater of some kind this is where i try to bring in some kind of luxury i ll wear a comfy cashmere hoodie or a really soft jersey wrap splurge james pearce save modcloth 2 don t wear jeans here s what i found does not work for me jeans here s why i have to wear a belt with jeans because i don t want to show my underwear in the back as i lift and lug my luggage around take off my shoes at security etc a woman in front of us on our trip to new orleans bent over as she put her carry on luggage on the conveyor and showed everyone her hindquarters it was noticed believe me by everyone behind me wear a thong i hear you saying i don t want to wear a thong on a long flight yikes here s why i don t want to wear jeans and a belt my usually normal stomach something happens to it in the air i get super bloated sexy right so the waistband and the jeans create an uncomfortable situation i like to wear leggings on a flight and here is why they are comfortable they stretch if you get bloated on a flight they can look like tights they don t show off your bum if you have to pick something up i like to wear them with a long sweater or a dress also jeggings i know leggings and jeggings are not pants but you know what they are perfect for flying leggings victoria s secret i think all leggings are pretty equal and you don t need to pay more than 35 for a pair 3 wear comfortable warm shoes or boots i also tend to get really cold feet during a flight so flats or sandals are a no no i brought socks for a while and changed into them but my shoes just took up valuable real estate under the seat boots i tried wearing some cute tight fashionable ones they nearly constricted my legs and i was worried about dvt so i wear uggs i know people hate them especially fashionable people but for me there is no more comfortable shoe for a flight they aren t tight on the leg they don t have a heel they can easily be pulled on and off during security stops they are warm love them i bring a pair of ballet flats in my carry on to change into once i get where i am going unless it s cold 4 scarves are the best now the most crucial part a huge scarf a scarf does a lot of things there is some research that your chance of getting a respiratory infection when you wear a scarf around your throat and chest is reduced also it keeps you warm in that overly chilled plane air it can provide a variety of functions you can use it as a blanket you can use it as a hood if your head is really cold plus it can liven up your outfit with color or pattern or both splurge burberry save zara here s how i go from the plane sweater james pearce tank dress old navy scarf target leggings uniqlo boots uggs to a hot destination dress and flats old navy what clothes work for you when you travel do you agree with me about my jeans rule i have a feeling that will be controversial share this share share on x opens in new window

uncategorized tagged as fashion travel december 12 2012 8 43 pm lessons from pompeii as i mentioned darcy s pursuit of pleasure on our trip was learning more about the history of italy history is everywhere there unavoidable the trappings of the etruscans the roman empire the papacy even the egyptians pepper the capital and cities large and small throughout the country neither of us had been to pompeii before but we were intrigued by the archeological site which is living history set apart from modern civilization a step back in time and the largest source of what we know now about how romans lived we hired an excellent guide guiseppe galano who spends most days in the doomed area loving it more each day he said his knowledge astounded me he could have spent 10 hours at least teaching us about the city the biggest question i had about pompeii was why was recovery not attempted by the romans why had they abandoned it giuseppe explained that pompeii was a like a cursed place to them a warning a punishment one theory was that some romans believed the eruption of mt vesuvius was a response to the roman subjugation of israel by nero and the subsequent destruction of the main jewish temple in jerusalem nine years before mt vesuvius is less than 1 2 of its former pre eruption size but it still looms threateningly over the ruins of the city it already claimed so how did citizens live in this city very well it seems provided you weren t a slave many of the facilities had running water commerce was pursued and money mattered quite a bit but the baths were luxurious and open to the public a main method for people to show their wealth was to feed and help the poorest exercise was encouraged the arts were elevated especially theater and most of all the city planners were masterful everything from the smallest details like pieces of white marble called cats eyes placed throughout the streets to brighten the road at night was designed to make living pleasant balanced and enjoyable touring pompeii made me think about the frenetic pace of american life and now that i m back in my routine of work work work and the overwhelming expectations of me and everyone else i m sort of annoyed the traffic the exhaustion the overweening ambition that surrounds us the fast culture and the stress on being the perfect mother none of it is much fun is it sorry to sound like a jerk i know i have it much easier than most and i m thrilled and lucky to be a parent as always on a trip like this one where everything is enjoyable it reminds me that i don t like having to find the joy in the everyday i liked learning eating walking napping and living life well every day i do look forward to taking the twins on a trip to europe soon i think they will be ready to learn eat and travel soon and i anticipate that being a wonderful time do you enjoy life often or is it difficult to find the joy in everyday living for you share this share share on x opens in new window x

tagged as guiseppe galano italy pompeii travel december 11 2012 5 37 pm italian fashion the reality there are so many manifestations of pleasure in italy and i didn t have time to sample them all you have to kind of declare a pleasure major here or you ll get overwhelmed elizabeth gilbert rome was a lovely break from the stoic life of an overwhelmed sahm of twins i chose italy as the place to spend my birthday and our 10th anniversary because i thought we needed an indulgent slow languorous place to nurture ourselves and fill our souls with joy and pleasure italy was the right choice for all of those things gilbert is right there are so many beautiful things italians excel at and you can easily become a sightseeing machine which would override the whole point of enjoying italy s charms i chose to major in fashion and food darcy history i have to say that the weather forecasts were pretty off it was colder than predicted and i didn t pack enough warm clothes i layered a lot adding unfortunate bulk in photos or maybe that was from all the spaghetti on my birthday i dragged darcy to the chic shops near the spanish steps first up was prada going inside the prada boutique was like entering a rarified museum of couture the pristine white walls glossy racks and intricate shoes coats and dresses were somewhat awe inspiring as were the prices i saw a gorgeous full length ivory silk dress and remarked to darcy that here was a gown that could be worn at the oscars i m sure it will be he responded we stuck to the italian shops going to gucci fendi dolce gabbana tods ferragamo and valentino to see items in person that i have seen in magazines or on fashion bloggers was a kick i saw these shoes in person and they looked absolutely lethal i loved dolce gabbana where the prices were even more fearsome than prada but the overall atmosphere was so italian full of lace corset dresses and chic sunglasses i seriously considered buying a leopard print bag but sticker shock put me off i do consider handbags and shoes to a lesser extent good buys i don t love jewelry most doesn t look good on me even if i think the above bulgari necklace is pretty fantastic but an excellent classic handbag is something i can pass down to my daughter and would consider an investment so i looked at the bags seriously after checking out the high fashion we went to a more realistically priced shopping area where i picked up a cheap faux fur turban i thought it was rather fabulous but mostly it kept me warm everyone was wearing a coat like this by the way it was quite possibly the definitive fashion item of italy honestly i wish i had brought one it would have cut the chill significantly do you major in one area when you visit a place if so what is it share this
