Wrinkled Traveler No More

Summer is coming to a close, but many of us are trying to squeeze in one more getaway. Long car rides or time spent waiting at the airport can sometimes make us wonder why we didn’t just have a staycation cruising through the DVR. Dressing comfortably can make a big difference if you wind up racing across the terminal or taking a nap while your spouse rants about the traffic en route to your mother’s house.

There are so many unexpected possibilities that can arise when we head out for what we hope will be relaxing time away - make certain a wardrobe malfunction is not one of them. In addition to comfort, you want to arrive at your destination looking as put together as you did when you first threw your bags in the trunk.

Try pairing the Emma and Emilie "Ella" Open Shoulder Tee with a pair of skinny jeans, leggings or yoga pants. This Polyester/Cotton/Rayon blend top will keep its shape no matter how many times you fasten and unfasten your seatbelt. Having your accessories nearby in your carry on bag will give you the option of dressing it up or keeping it casual when you deplane.




You’ll look stylish and refreshed no matter what travel ordeal you just endured in this flowing, feminine Allen Allen Layered Tunic Tank.





When you get where you’re going, you’ll be relieved when you open your bags and don’t have to run for the hotel iron. Our active wear clothes travel well and will still look great when you’re dressing for that long road back to reality when your sojourn ends.

The Weekender: What To Wear on Your Little Getaway

The weekend is finally here! Friday is more-than-warmly welcomed in our offices. One of  the great things about living in Southern California is that fantastic vacation and "staycation" destinations are only a few hours away by car--and even less by plane.

Whether you're shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, playing roulette in Las Vegas, or relaxing on the beautiful beaches of San Diego, we've got just what you need to look and feel your best. Below are a few of our favorite travel-friendly items that are perfect for a weekend getaway.

The Pink Lotus Twill Drawstring Pant is so comfortable, yet so chic. These pants can be paired with a nice top and wedges for a romantic dinner, or worn with a tank and flip flops for walking around a park or a shopping center. These pants are great for their versatility as well as their style.


If you're planning on laying poolside or beach side, you'll want a nice cover-up for when the air gets breezy or you need to make a quick trip to order a cocktail. We have many gorgeous, soft dresses that fill this need wonderfully. It doesn't hurt that they travel well. We love the Alo Shawl Neck Dress as well as the Love Tanjane Easy Dress (Pictured Below). 



Perhaps your resort, spa, or hotel is offering yoga or pilates classes, while you'd love to partake, you'd rather not strut around the hotel lobby in your over-sized men's tee and five-year-old leggings. Why not pick up a stylish, flattering workout outfit? The form fitting, flattering supplex won't wrinkle, pill, or fade and you'll look cute working up a sweat! Our favorite outfit at the moment is the Public Myth One Shoulder Workout Cami paired with the Public Myth Rocker Flare Workout Pant.




Every traveler knows to bring at least one nice dress wherever she goes. We suggest the Rasa Lila Maxi Dress. Paired with bold jewelry and elegant shoes, this incredibly soft, eco-friendly dress will really make a statement. Additionally, this easy to care for item will not require ironing or dry cleaning.


How could we make a list of easy, flattering items that are travel-friendly and not include our all-time best selling bottom, the I am Beyond (formerly Beyond Yoga) Original Sueded Supplex Pant?  Of course, we couldn't. The pant is amazingly comfortable, flattering and versatile. These pants can be worn hiking, biking, shopping, walking, or traveling. These pants are the best for long car and plane rides!


Happy Travels!
