Travel Tip: Clothing for Travel


When choosing clothing for travel, make sure to follow these guidelines:

  1. Choose items that can be mixed and matched. Stick to a color scheme - black, brown or khaki and include items that can be worn with more than just one other piece.
  2. Select versatile pieces (i.e., a black skirt that can go from day to night).
  3. Look for quick-drying tags (traveling light typically means DIY laundry and usually that is in hotel sinks. Wash these items at night and by morning they should be ready to pack).
  4. Don't play the "what if" game. If a prince asks you to dinner, then trust me, you will want to go shopping!
  5. Wrinkle-resistant features always help. No matter how good of a folder/packer you are, having items that are wrinkle-resistant is always helpful (and looks nicer).
  6. Limit your shoes! We try choosing our shoes first and then our clothing. That way you are not throwing extra shoes in at the end to go with select outfits. Try wearing one and packing the other. And, wear your heaviest and bulkiest on the plane.
There are plenty of more tips to come!

Cool New Product: Bucky Gusto Neck Pillow


We can barely keep the new Bucky Gusto Neck Pillow in stock and we have only carried it a short time! Unlike traditional inflatable neck pillows, the Gusto pillow’s asymmetrical shape helps to give you a “custom fit” no matter which way you sleep in your seat. The Gusto pillow has a SnapStrap to provide comfort for heads that like to droop forward and an easy to inflate valve that only takes one big breath to inflate and one touch to deflate. Plus, the Gusto pillow is PVC free!
