Traveling Clothes...

Do you have a travel uniform?

Go to items that take you from flight delays, to chilly cabins, to your favorite restaurant immediately upon landing.

A pair of jeans (that will also be worn throughout the trip) and a button-down are the basics - you can't go wrong from here. Add a cashmere sweater, which can double as a scarf, and a lightweight jacket. Stubbs & Wooten slippers are easily removed at the security line, and laptops, iPads, and old fashioned print magazines are easily transported in Clare Vivier's classic tote.

Check out the EJTShop for buying information.

T. Anthony Red...

A 'what to pack' story will always catch my attention.

Learning how someone travels, tells you a lot about them.

Le Postcard, a website about the love of traveling, interviews various jet-setters on their travel habits: favorite airlines, ultimate destinations, and what kind of luggage they carry. A resounding number mention T. Anthony luggage. Not just any T. Anthony pieces, the Red Monogrammed Canvas Collection. Photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank, fashion consultant Meredith Melling, and model Carolyn Murphy, are just a few that list the iconic brand as their favorite.

Are you on the red bandwagon?

1 Skirt... 3 Ways...

With anything printed, you run the risk of always pairing it with the same items. This proves that a printed skirt can go from a bridal shower luncheon, to the office, to a weekend brunch with friends with ease.

Three ways to wear your favorite printed skirt this season:

Tanning...

The weather outside says Spring, but our pale skin is stuck in winter.

Solution: Aerin's gradual tan lotion.

The gentle formula adds just enough of a glow to make the transition from bundled-up to bare legged a little smoother.

Spring Cleaning... Jewelry

I love a good tray - something to keep all of your everyday essentials on.

A small dish to keep rings and earrings, paired with a larger tray to hold watches and bangles, not only keeps things organized, but it looks pretty too.

John Derian decopage tray, $88

Aerin nesting heart dishes, $240

Nate Berkus wooden tray, $10

Spring Cleaning... Closet

It's that time again.

Time to shed the winter cashmere and bring your springtime prints to the front of your closet.

I dream of having a closet/room like this one that once belonged to J.Crew's Jenna Lyons.
