A few weeks ago, I had photos for my media kit taken by the amazing Julien from the style blog, It's Julien. When choosing looks for the shoot, I decided to go with one of my favorite travel uniforms: muumuu (loose dress), tote, and flats. One of my favorite dresses is a DVF short loose dress (find one similar on sale here) I picked up at Saks years ago but never gets old. I can wear it with tights in the winter and sandals or flats in warm weather. It also dresses down for sightseeing and up with heels for dinner. It's easy to pack and the light material makes it easy to fit in a carry-on or even a weekend bag.

Another big part of my travel uniform are flats. Can't get enough of Tod's. They are expensive but I still walk around with a pair I purchased in 2007 with no need for resoling. Travel Tip: if you find yourself in Europe for the sales season (June or January), you can get them up to 50% off plus your VAT (tax refund). I own them in conservative colors such as brown but also have pairs in red and turquoise. Definitely an investment piece. As for a tote, I never leave home with my LouisVuitton "Never Full" bag. Despite the name, I have stuffed it with many of my travel goodies: my Nikon SLR camera, a scarf in case the plane gets cold, face mask, magazines, and plenty of beauty products.
Now I am off to pack for my TBEX Travel Blogger conference in Cancun. Of course, all three of these items will be boarding with me!
