This little silk jumpsuit is what I wore for the 3.5 hour flight to Cuba. If I was stuck on the plane any longer I might have regretted wearing a one-piece garment; they are not exactly easy to manage in small confinements…(if you know what mean ). I also kept my black asymmetrical cardigan close by at all times, which kept me cozy and warm when needed.

Some more tips for flying smart and in style:

* Pack most essential and precious items into your carry on. I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember and it has alleviated a lot of the worry around delayed and lost luggage. Don’t forget to include at least one of your favorite bikinis in the mix.

* Bring wetnaps

* Pack at least half as many bikinis as there are days in your vacation. Not only is it simply more fun this way, but the variety in fit and coverage will minimize bikini lines.

*The winners of the both giveaways will be announced tonight. Good luck dear fashionistas!

Today’s look-of-the-day is what I call my “checkered Stella look.”  I paired the skirt with a long Angie Gooderham necklace that is of the same white/navy color pallet. This Stella McCartney skirt is one of my favorite travel pieces – the texture of its fabric is intentionally wrinkled, which makes it easy-maintenance and fun to wear. I was able to get it for an amazing price on ebay because the seller sort of confused its potential bidders. She said that the skirt really needs to be ironed and, based on the pictures, it was difficult to predict what effect that would have on the shape of the skirt. From time to time you can come across ebay auctions where the sellers are quite unaware of, or uninterested in, what they are selling, which inadvertently keeps the price low and fashionistas happy. If you love yourself a couture bargain keep an eye out for these.

What I’m wearing:

• Skirt by “Stella McCartney” (as seen in Trip to Moscow (2009))
• Tank-top by “BDG” (as seen in Trip to Moscow (2009))

Here is what I was wearing:

• A wool blazer/coat by “LEGATTE JEANS”
• Cashmere sweater dress by “Alisha Levine” (as seen in Cashmere Dresses)
• Tights by “Holt Renfrew”
• Suede boots by “Penny loves Kenny”
• Silver pin by “Gucci”
• Bag by “Renato Angi” (as seen in Nov. 17)
• Ring by “Lee Angel”

Today’s look-of-the-day is of what I was wearing yesterday (I promise to catch up soon). Sometimes when I look at the way the outfit turned out on the pictures I get more ideas about what I can do differently with it in the future. After looking at this particular outfit, it occurred to me that maybe I could try wearing this coat with a belt; I have my doubts about the notion because it is so wide at the waist, but I think it’s worth a try (stay tuned for that experiment).

Here is what I was wearing:

• Suede coat by “Isaac Sellam”
• Necklace by “Ben-Amun”
• Bracelet by “Ciro”
• Silk top by “Rory Beca”
• Pants by “Stella McCartney”
• Shoes by “Guillaume Hinfray” (as seen in Nov. 20)
• Leather belt by “Forty-Nine Square Miles (SQ MI)” (as seen in Nov. 24)
• Bag by “Gen Rigo” (as seen in Nov. 24)

This look-of-the-day is of what I was wearing yesterday (I’m falling behind one day now with the posts).  It was my first time wearing this combination and I think it worked out nicely. When I purchased this top, on a huge sale at Holt Renfrew, I knew that even though it looked strange on the hanger it had potential. Its shaped like a straight, long top, with slits on the sides, and is neither a dress nor a blouse. Its made of the softest silk and is sheer (which complicates the matter even further ).

What I did to make it work was wear:

• Silk dark-purple camisole underneath by “Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent”
• The silk top itself is by “SPORTMAX”
• Leather belt by “Forty-Nine Square Miles (SQ MI)”
• Brown tights by “Holt Renfrew”
• Leather riding-boots (as seen in Nov. 16)
• Gloves by “Alberta Ferretti”
• Knitted vest by “Marciano”
• Bag by “Gen Rigo”
• Long crystal earrings

What I’m wearing:

• Rubber rain-shoes by “Marni” (as seen in Let it Rain)
• Soft terry dress by “Young, Fabulous & Broke”
• Skin-tone stockings by “Donna Karan”
• Long leather necklace by “LM” (still not sure what the initials stand for)
• Rain coat by “Coffee Shop” (as seen in Let it Rain)
• Bag by “Renato Angi”
