i think i got bit by the travel bug.

i really do. i want to explore all the places i've never been and maybe even rediscover those that i have seen.  it's interesting how much we change as we grow older. earlier in my life, i don't think i would've wanted to do this as much as i do now.  things such as traveling didn't appeal to me on the same level as they do, i think before it was more, "well friend xyz went there, so i should too."  now that i've grown up a bit, i don't want to go where everyone has necessarily been. i want to go see what i want to see. and go where i want to go. and i think that is a beautiful thing. 

just to satisfy my craving for something travel/glamour/airport related, here are some things i think would make for comfortable and cute airport style:


lets start out with a comfortable foundation. travel requires versatility. the best thing is to be able to do it with only a carry on so that you can avoid checked baggage fees and the hassel of it all.  so for the airport go with something layered. layers are adaptable to weather. layers are easy. start with basics. a great pair of skinnies. i highly recommend the old navy rockstars (here). for the $30 price tag they can't be beat. next up a comfortable knit. j.crew cashmere is world renowned for a reason. plus the polka dots (here) are too cute. their excursion quilted vest is also perfect for layering. it's something i'm personally lusting over but it's sold out and nowhere to be found.  finish up the outfit with a scarf that doubles as a blanket, and nude pointed toe flats that are as versatile as they are cute and you are good to go.  accessories wise, minimal is better. the faux diamond studs from banana republic look like the real deal and you won't freak out if they ever got misplaced. the michael kors runway watch is a perfect, elegant, no fuss piece to bring a bit of classic style into the equation. the coach candace carryall in large is perfect. the size and the ability to wear it hands free make it a tried and true travel winner.  plus it has a top zipper. safety first! add a quick pop of color via kate spade. the bright wallet will never get lost in a handbag jumble. neither will the adorable passport holder from j.crew.  all you need now is the carry on. samsonite is my go-to. the pretty color will make sure you won't lose sight of it. finally, pro tip: bring comfy socks. airplanes are generally cold. you'll want cozy toes. the abrecrombie pair above are both fashionable and functional. 

don't forget your passport! 

safe travels
xoxo, 
Bella
