5 Travel Necessities

You can plan a flight, book a hotel, or even take a road trip, but all travel calls for a comfortable, practical and chic outfit to accompany the adventure. Spring Break is coming up soon enough, and below you'll find some essentials you don't want to forget. Obviously different places call for different ensembles, but lets discuss some options that are chic and travel-friendly.

First of all, I think we can agree leggings are appropriate for pretty much anything, but are especially appropriate for traveling. So number one on travel chic list is, of course, leggings.

#1: LeggingsFashionista and full time mom Kristin Cavallari knows how to master looking chic in leggings on the go. Style with an oversized sweater, t-shirt, flat boots, sunnies, a large bag and you're good to go.

#2: Espadrilles: Espadrilles may not be everyone's cup of tea, but comfort is key when traveling, and espadrilles are freaking comfortable. I do find them a bit difficult to style in the winter but seem ideal for spring and summer. Below are three different ways to style espadrilles suitable for traveling.
One way- wear with a dress or romper (can't tell), another is with skinny pants, flowy blouse and bold lip & bag. And finally, the last (and probably my favorite) way is with distressed overalls.

#3: Slouchy Pants: Chic Street Style shows us how to style slouchy pants in a way that is anything but slouchy. A powerful printed slouchy pant paired with pointed flats adds a chic element and makes this outfit perfect for traveling and exploring.

#4: All Purpose Tunic: A tunic is an all purpose item and can be worn as a bathing suit cover, with cutoff shorts, or even with jeans to add a bohemian chic vibe. A tunic can be dressed up or down, according to occasion. Printed tunics are all the rage this spring & summer, and are absolutely a travel necessity. A company built around creating the perfect all purpose tunic, Show Me Your Mumu, has an unbelievable spring collection that you MUST check out! The only downfall is Mumu can be a little expensive, but I found some affordable options that are comparable.

#5: Fabulous and practical Sunnies: We've covered comfortable shoes & clothing to wear, but every travelnista (traveling fashionista) needs a pair of essential sunglasses. Some popular shapes for this spring & summer include, round sunnies, star & heart shaped sunglasses, the fabulous cat-eye, and of course the classical wayfayer shape. And, don't forget a strap to go around your neck to make sure you don't lose your sunnies.  My favorites for under $10 include:
Swirly-Armed Round Statement Sunglasses, Classic Round Sunglasses, Heart-Shaped Sunglasses

The best part of blogging is interaction. Whether it is between two readers,a blogger and a reader, or two bloggers interaction is what keeps blogs interesting. Without interaction the blogging world falls off the map.
