Trave...darling wish I could come in your suitcase!! Travelling bin style is always tricky what with cramped planes and long periods of sitting.I do suggest layered effortless pieces in non crease fabrics say like Jersey.It is fluid,is comfy to wear,drapes amazingly and stays crease free,so you look amazing at your destination!So depending on your style,it could be jersey tunic,dress with light jersey cardi or wrap or same feel top with jersey loose slacks or harem pants. Then bang on say a great fantastic chic accessories,<BR/>hope this helps dear!<BR/>muah<BR/>marianMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11039929946026207864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450906023516869707.post-78370719943464989452008-12-04T07:56:00.000-08:002008-12-04T07:56:00.000-08:00so beautifully written sis...
