We travel a lot for the store, mostly to Europe. So when our clients ask
us for travel tips, we’re happy to share some of what we've picked up over the
last two decades.
Pack something sexy.
You should feel your very best when you’re on vacation - it makes you appreciate the
money you spent so much more. So make the first thing that goes in your
suitcase something hot. Right now, this piece is on holiday with a few of our
clients. We’re hoping for pictures.
Bring a jacket with a hood.
Anything can happen to your umbrella: the wind could break its arms, you
could leave it on the metro or in your room because the day started off so
sunny and lovely. A handy hood will keep your head dry and your hair looking
the way you want it. This is one of our favourite travel pieces because it’s as
pretty as it is practical.
Accessorize smartly.
Other than a wedding ring, you really shouldn’t bring your good jewelry
on vacation with you. Too much can happen to it, and losing your most
sentimental pieces will ruin your trip and a whole lot more.
Costume jewelry was made for travelling, and we recommend going basic so
whatever you bring will work with any outfit you have. Check out some of the
better pieces we have in the store these days.
Wander aimlessly.
Too many people try to pack everything under the sun into their days.
Sure, it’s great to check off all the sites, but nothing about that is
relaxing. You know what is, though? Strolling without a plan. You'd be
surprised how much you can learn about a new place on a simple walkabout. The
smells, the sounds, the random café you stumble upon that makes the best
biscotti you’ve ever had in your life. That’s what it’s all about.
Spa it up.
Every major city has a good one, and there’s nothing better than
unplugging for a few hours and letting the professionals go to work on you.
Facials. Massages. Pore-cleansing and a good soak. Fantastic. You'll leave
walking on air, and in the right head space to take in more of what's on offer
wherever you are.
And finally…appreciate the differences
This is your opportunity to experience life from a different angle.
Instead of comparing it to home, let the familiar go and immerse yourself in
your new surroundings. With the right clothes, you should have no problem. And
with the right attitude, you’ll have the time of your life.
Bon voyage!
