Style tips when traveling to LA in CRAZY HEAT.

Posted by PicasaThe first thing I have to say is OH MY it was hot in LA yesterday.  I do normally check the weather before I leave on buying trips for Willows but it didn't happen this time. 
  • Check the weather report before you travel.
  •  Thank goodness I wore a basic Michael Stars black tank.  Yes, that's me in the taxi cab with hair everywhere.  I always have the windows rolled up because my hair goes WILD but considering it was 80 degrees at 9am.  I had to just let it go. 
  • Next time bring a hair tie. 
  • Whenever I travel I always wear really basic colors of tanks or t-shirts.  Accessories are key to travel.  My list includes sunglasses, scarves, earrings and lots of bracelets.  Yes, the person behind me at airport security isn't happy.  I LOVE animal print because it goes with black or brown.  A no brainer when getting ready at 4am. 
  • Always bring a scarf for the plane.  Even when it's hot outside, the airport is cold and having something around your next is just cozy. 
  • My last tip.  Don't wear a strapless NUBRA when it's 110 degrees.  Actually, don't wear it exercising either.  It will literally slip down and be a very embarrassing moment for you.  Or for me, as it was.  I started sweating early on in the day.  Gosh, it doesn't sound so pretty or stylish to say SWEAT.  But really, it is what it is.  BTW, the Nubra is a wonderful invention and I highly recommend it. 
Over all, my buying trip was fabulous.  There continues to be a ton of military inspired accessories.  I even bought a great multi chain necklace with "little bullets" on it.  What's crazy?  It's really cool and available at Willows.

  2. The real amazing thing is the accessories. It's how jeans were a few years back. The wholesale market is huge for accessories at all levels of price too. Not everyone can afford a pair of seven jeans but most can have a beautiful scarf for just $20. It makes the shopping experience much more exciting. Hair goods are a huge class too but for the 20 something and younger (just my opinion).
