Hi Nina! I just wanted to say that you've inspired me to purchase my first ever maxi dress!! I wrote about it here and sourced you, if you don't mind: http://elleandish.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/travel-outfit-inspiration/

Thanks for the inspiration! I love your blog! :)

I love reading about other people's routine when they travel. I don't too tons of traveling myself but when I do I like to be comfortable. I am really liking the idea of wearing a maxi dress for travel. It's simple and loose but it doesn't look frumpy!

Those are some great tips! I always fly with a pashmina and usually wear leggings, tunic and boots or sandals on board. I'm constantly re-applying lip balm and moisturizing. I heard that if you put some polysporin just inside your nose, it helps keep out germs... but I think that may just be an old wives tale. I also always pack a sleep mask and ear plugs.

I 100% agree with your tips Nina... for me going to and from the US takes as much as 17-20 hours and at least 3 connecting flights and it's close to impossible to look fresh and fab once I reach my end-city, or the other way around. I never thought about the leave-on conditioner though, all beacause I find my hair getting overly greasy on the plane....teeheee but I will keep that in mind!

Love the jetsetting-outfit you had planned...I've never thought of a maxi dress - I get stuck in jeans and jackets...

Enjoy your weekend!

Hugs and Kisses!!! ♥

Nice travel tips :)
I've gotten to the point where I don't really care what I look like when I travel anymore...jeans and a sweatshirt are the most forgiving things, but that dress is a great idea.
Cute too!

So interesting to hear about the travel habits of others! I go with leggings instead of a maxi dress, but agree that jersey is the only way to fly.

This is a great post Nina and I am sure it took you a long time to write it. Thanks for sharing!

I've traveled overseas quite a bit but I am disaster... I dont go prepared. The thing that I always do though, is one hour before landing follow the same process as you described. This helps me feel refreshed and ready to go!

a big kiss for you nina!

LOL All I ever need is someone to knock me out and and a puke bag when landing, sorry but that's reality when you don't have a private jet !

Excellent tips. I wish I could afford that Chloe bag! Alas, I'll have to find a substitute.

You're fabulous as always. I will refer to these tips as soon as I fly.

I love that everyone has great routines for flying. I wear what I usually wear and sleep...no wonder I look so bad when I get off the plane.

2009-07-08T15:46:24.171-07:00

you seem to have this down pat! I'm coming back to this the next time I go overseas! I am crazy about Oscillococcinum and always keep a 3 pack in my bag. When I travel, I carry the little evian water spray too...it helps to keep me hydrated on the plane!

excellent guide!! I love the little moisturizing cream
bringing a mini version can certainly be the answer- because bringing the full sized bottles on the plane is not allowed
ive got 2 flights totaling 22 hours in two weeks..i will refer back to this

2009-07-08T13:47:03.664-07:00

Wow, these are great tips. I'm not too fussed about hair and makeup during long flights, but I like packing a travel-size bottle of contact solution and my contacts in their case, as well as a toothbrush and travel size tube of toothpaste. My eyes tend to get dry easily and the air in a plane cabin is always drier than usual, so this way I can wear my glasses comfortably during the flight and switch them for contacts later. Also, brushing my teeth just makes me feel so much more refreshed. :-)

I am loving her hat, that plaid stripe compliments the black hat & coat so well :)
