Jet-Set Juicy Couture

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:59:17 -0800

Juicy Couture's latest destination is the airport. The bubbly brand is setting up four airport boutiques starting December. The first will be inside the American Airlines terminal at Miami International Airport. Next stop? The British Airways terminal at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in January. Then Taiwan TaoYuan International Airport’s Terminal II in February. Lastly, the fourth shop is set for a Spring launch in the Athens Airport Duty-Free area.

"We know that our customer is traveling and she’s in the airports. Women are always wearing our tracksuits, especially to travel in. We just don’t think she’s being targeted by other retailers in these airports, so there’s a real opportunity there for us," said Ellen Rodriguez, senior vice president of global licensing and international for the brand. What do you think of Juicy's new venture?

Are You a Luxury Traveler, Marc Jacobs Style?

FabSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 12:00:22 -0700

I'm all about travel, but do I travel luxury style? Well, that depends on what your definition of luxury travel is. Marc Jacobs said, "I don't think there's anything practical about traveling with a trunk. Luxury travel is traveling with a toothbrush. That's it, end of story. The people who really live luxurious lives don't need to pack. They've got stuff wherever they go." I guess that defeats the purpose of his Louis Vuitton luggage collection! Going off of the designer's views, would you consider yourself a luxury traveler?

Fab Tip: Keep Your Jewels Travel-Friendly

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 01:00:22 -0700

It's so nice to escape the mundaneness of life by taking a vacation. But, sometimes, that's no easy feat. Besides having to book plane tickets, hotels, and figure out activities, we women have to figure out how to take our clothes and accessories there in one piece. Honestly, my main fear after traveling is finding my jewels - like these Amrita Singh Coral Chandelier Earrings ($92) - all tangled up. Gasp! Sound familiar? If so, it's time to prevent it from happening again. P.S. I always recommend you carry your jewelry in your carry-on; I've had jewelry I checked stolen out of my suitcase before, true story.

What better way to compartmentalize your jewelry than with the king of compartmentalization, a 7-day pill box? But not just any old pill box. Check out this lively Med Sun 7 Day Pill Box Organizer ($4). It's inexpensive, bold, and will ensure that all your small to medium-sized jewels stay in their place. Plus, you can decide which pieces you'll wear on which day and put them in their slots accordingly. If you're scared of scratches, I recommend putting each piece in a small pouch then putting it in the slot.

Style For Style: Protect Your Traveling Shoes

When you travel, so do your shoes. Duh. Many use shoe bags to protect their footwear but for those who don't, there's another solution. It's highly important to cover your shoes because the dirt they carry from the streets can rub off and ruin the clothes in your luggage. Not to mention wear and tear on your shoes.

If you're following my fashion recession guide and trying to save money, allow me to help you protect your shoes - like this Urban Outfitters Leather Bow Bootie ($98) - without spending anything.

Ladies, you're looking at a Plastic Shower Cap ($2) - stuff your footwear in them! Next time you're at a hotel, take the complimentary shower caps and use them to cover your shoes before stuffing your luggage. They're easier on the wallet and get the job done just as well. Use this tip in emergency situations or to completely replace shoes bags with shower caps. Your call.

Style For Style: Easy Traveling With Cotton

Even though it's been a while since the Transportation Security Agency implemented airport liquid regulations, I don't think I'll ever get used to it. Simply put: it's freaking annoying. But, I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize my trip. What I can do is minimize the liquids I take on my travels with me. For cotton items, like this Victoria's Secret Plaid Shirtdress ($68), I learned a brilliant solution to keep them wrinkle-free and travel-easy.

To keep my cotton dresses, shirts, and pants crisp, I use spray starch, like this Faultless Spray Starch ($4). When traveling, however, I don't bring the bulky can with me. So here's what I do . . .

Spray all cotton clothes with starch the day of the flight.
Cover them individually with a plastic bag.
Neatly fold them into luggage or hang them in garment bag.
Upon arrival of destination, take starched clothes out of plastic bags.

Just don't forget step two; you don't want to mess up your non-cotton clothes.
