It’s been a LONG winter here in Ontario, one made even longer because we didn’t take a mid-winter vacation somewhere hot and tropical (what was I thinking?!?). But finally I’ve got a mini- vacay on the horizon – Bahamas baby! Made even better is that this vacation is kid-free! Whoot!Whoot!(sorry kids, mama loves you, she really does!)

While a beach vacation is always needed, there isn’t often a lot of new content about another gorgeous beach. So I’m trying soemthing new and bringing some fresh content here on the blog, starting today with figuring out what to wear on the plane.

My criteria for an airplane outfit is pretty simple: comfortable and versatile. I want the items I wear on the plane to be able to translate into my outfits at my destination as well.  I like to try to pack light and therefore have to make sure whatever I’m wearing and taking on the plane with me isn’t just extra baggage.

So here are some of my picks that work for pretty much all kinds of vacations, including what I’m packing for the Bahamas this week!

  1.  Tote: This one here is perfect even for the beach because its easy to clean.
  2.  Sunglasses : for airplane cool. My favourite are these.
  3.  Sneakers: wear them on the plane especially if you plan to work out, but these Golden Goose ones are just plain cool.
  4.  Slides: These Zara ones make any pool side outfit complete and work for sundresses too.
  5.  Scarf: warmth for the plane, perfect for cool beach evenings. This cashmere one is pure luxury
  6. Some top options include either of the following:A lightweight linen button down that looks good enough enough to get you upgraded on your flight but can also double as a cover up over your swimsuit
  7. A cami for being fancy but also for staying cool when you land.
  8. Ditto for this one – hotter climates call for shorter sleeves
  9. Depending on the flight or the destination (or if the kids are with me), I love these Aritzia joggers that are comfy yet can be dressed up too
  10. Skinny jeans forever. I love a high waisted one for sitting (and for life), these are my favourite.
  11. A cozy cardigan works for everything because if it worked for Mr. Rogers, it works for me
  12. Channel your inner cool gal, leather jackets for the win.

Here are some of my favourite bloggers sharing their airport style, since I’m usually running to the airport and through security I never have time to take a pic of myself (maybe one day!)
