travel like a celebrity

Everyone likes to feel glamorous, but on an airplane ride, you might not feel like your absolute best. Wouldn’t it be nice to travel like a celebrity?  Famous musicians and actors always seem to look stunning no matter where they are, but what do celebrities wear when they go on a trip on a plane?  Here’s a hint: they keep it simple and comfortable.  Sitting on an airplane on a trans-Atlantic flight won’t always be the most comfortable, even in first class, but you’ll feel more refreshed and stylish if you choose comfortable clothes and essential skincare products to help you through the trip and don’t forget your oversized sunglasses.

I absolutely love the classic style of Margot in the Royal Tenenbaums, more specifically, her fur coat and Kelly bag, although in this picture she is actually holding a Birkin.  As much as I love the allure of a fur coat, I have a conscious which I try to feed every day on mostly good stuff, so a real fur coat is not an option for me.  Full disclosure, I have a vintage fur vest that I purchased more than ten years ago from a Sunday flea market in the streets of New York City.  Ten years later and I’m thinking of a faux fur coat which in some cases can provide the allure and classic style of a real fur coat without making you feel guilty.

While looking for one that looks as realistic as possible, I found this one.  For a more glamorous and colorful version of a faux fur coat, an oversized one will do just fine.  A faux fur coat with the name teddy in it is pretty adorable.  A leopard-print faux fur coat for the very brave ones.  A very chic chocolate color one for a glamorous night.  A short light pink one for the day.  And finally a black one for the days when we only want to wear black.
