Travel In Style With Wrinkle-Free Jersey Dresses!

Traveling during the holidays, whether it's a trip to see the fam or a winter getaway, requires a lot of planning and of course, for any fashionista, a lot of packing. While many say that packing light is the best advice, I tend to follow the motto "the more the merrier," but squeezing five or six dresses into my weekend bag can get a little messy. That's why this holiday season I'm packing soft, lightweight jersey fabrics that will fit nicely into my bag and are sure to look great straight out of the bag! And better yet, wear one of these dresses as you travel to avoid those dreaded travel tucks and puckers so you can arrive at your destination in style. Plus, they're really comfy!

And there is definitely a plethora of designs and colors to pick from--sheers, opaques, mattes, solids, neon colors, lace, crazy patterns, cable knit--the possibilities are endless!

Warm Up Your Winter Style In A Cozy Cape!

The winter wind chill always welcomes our beloved coats back into our wardrobe, but often times we can get stuck in the hum-drum routine of grabbing the same old coat every day, day after day. That's why every winter I try to find new and different ways to stay warm and stylish and this year's no different. My style solution to this winter's wardrobe is the cape. Cape, cloak, poncho-- whatever you want to call it, you know what I'm talking about and if you haven't had the pleasure of wearing one of these marvelous forms of outerwear, then I urge you to make it your next fashion purchase. Honestly, wearing a cape feels like bundling up in a cozy blanket, while still somehow receiving the eye-envy of everyone around you! Wear a cape style that is clean and chic like this INC cape, or be playful in something like Henrik Vibskov's poncho. Whatever style you sport, you're sure to stay warm this winter without wearing out your style. Click on the slideshow to see some of our favorites!
