Posh Spice vs. Cassie

Hey everyone! This is going to be a very short post because I am heading to the airport in about a half hour (and I really need to do some last minute packing...) Last night I was googling some "celebrity airport outfits" to get some inspiration, I wanted to travel in style; you know 5 inch Louboutin's, monogrammed Louis Vuitton suitcases, body-con dresses, fur vests..standard travel uniforms, right? Well I settled for comfort (I have a layover so it's going to be a long, long day.) This is my outfit, although I wish I looked like posh...I admit defeat, I LOSE!
Sweatshirt: Mossimo for Target, Tank-tops: White (Old Navy) & Black (H&M), Leggings: Converse for Target, Scarf: Walmart, Bracelet: Tiffany & Co., Shoes: Sperry Top-Siders



What do you wear when you travel? Do you settle for comfort or GLAM OUT like V. Becks?

Stuck at the Airport

My 1pm flight has been deplaned so now I am waiting for my 5pm flight to New York. All hopes of my glamorous New Years Eve are IN THE TOILET! However, at least I will be with my family. What can I do while sitting at the airport waiting to board...blog of course!
I have seen some interesting fashion choices at the airport; from the woman limping towards her flight-gate wearing 5 inch nude Christian Louboutin's to the t-shirt and pajama-pant clad acne-face 15-year-old-boy (I know, not so nice of me to say, but I had acne and I am just exhausted, not a big fan of long commutes).
Anyway, I was thinking a lot about airline style. I keep getting visuals of old-school stewardess style. My mother's good friend Melodie used to tell me stories about her days as an airline flight attendant; there were weight requirements and beauty-ritual requirements. The right look had to be achieved, how crazy is that? Emilio Pucci even designed outfits for stewardesses on Brandiff Air in the 1960's...I would love to rock a uniform by Emilio Pucci.
Remember that Gwyneth Paltrow movie, View From The Top? That's the first thing I think of when envisioning airline fashion and style. That and Soul Plane, but that's a different story (we won't even go there).
How cute is this look?
