Jeans and a t-shirt and a big, comfy scarf you say? Well, Lady Gaga would answer otherwise. Let’s recap her carefully crafted look at Heathrow on August 20th: fishnet tights, a leotard, a motorcycle jacket , round black-out glasses and… fangs. In response, comedian Russell Brand promptly twittered:
“RT @rustyrockets If Lady Ga Ga dresses like that for a plane journey what on earth would she wear to a bondage party? I shall host one in her honour.”
But seriously: What DO you like to wear in flight?

We all have such fast-paced lives these days, that sometimes we forget about the environment we live in. The other day, I came across this great article in the Wall Street Journal by Faye Penn that compared bags from many of today’s popular stores. Many of these stores have converted to the more fashionable tote bag — in favor of the tried and true plastic bag (and occasional paper bag). What are your thoughts on this emerging trend?
When you go shopping, which do you prefer, paper, plastic or the tote bag? Take a few moments to learn about the new tote bag and chime in.

Even if you don’t know his name, you’ll recognize Alexander Girard’s iconic, folk-inspired prints right away. Girard was to textiles in the ‘60s, what Beyonce is to music today—a total superstar. His most famous prints were created during his reign as head textile designer for Herman Miller, and a handful of those patterns have been turned into limited edition pillows, curtains, and wall hangings for Urban Outfitters. Think of these items as affordable, functional art that was cool when it was created, is still just as cool now, and will no doubt be cool 20 years down the road.
Heart Pillow, $58, available at Urban Outfitters
Paper Dolls Wall Art, $68, available at Urban Outfitters

Work-wear doesn’t have to be boring. Who said you can’t look fashionable and feel fabulous at your workplace. Great fitting pieces that will flatter your figure are your directions for the road to success when it comes to your work attire. Get pieces that are classic and appropriate but with a fashion twist. A statement pump or peep toe heel can add a touch of excitement to your dark sheath dresses or dark suits. Another important accessory is your handbag. Get a large tote that will fit everything you need but is still chic and sophisticated. And add tops that are colorful or printed under your blazers and purchase some tops that have embellished details for those days when you go from work to an evening out. A few items to help get you started!
