24-hour Work Trip

It's summertime again however it's still chilly in most parts of the Northern hemisphere and my '4 or more in 1' coat makes a wonderful work trip companion so. To find out how please read & see more below.

- Wear the complete coat whilst traveling and only pack the lighter garments, accessories and the other travel essentials in your cabin baggage/ 'weekend bag'.





Travelling

Tip: Leave a small space on the top of your case/ 'weekend bag' for the sleeves to slip in if the full coat is too hot full time.  

OR you can leave each of the sleeves unzipped a tiny bit and only slip your arms out of the long sleeves (below).

- In the destination complete your fabulous work looks with the different parts of the coat:

On arrival quickly lighten up the coat by removing the hem, slip in a lighter pair of shoes and fly on to the afternoon meeting.
 



Impress in the dinner time meeting by wearing a look constructed with the hem panel of the coat (and the bolero).
 
 







The bolero is cozy in the air-conditioned meeting room the next morning. Zip the sleeves and the hem back to the bolero when you're off to the airport for the return flight.

- Enjoy your work trip!

Heavenly Travelling

I've flown quite lots recently and a couple of last times I've managed to arrive to the airport good time before the departure, haven't just run straight through to my gate in awful hurry as usual. Despite crazy-early morning I've enjoyed enormously wandering around the shopping areas, sitting down for a lovely double espresso and while sipping my flavoursome coffee, watching other, still waking, passengers and stylish flying attendants of different airlines floating by.

Air travelling is all about luxury. When you've passed the air port security control it feels like arriving to heaven; you're surrounded by greatest amount of luxury items, unlike on highstreet the customer service is the friendliest, all of airport staff are well groomed and beautiful and their immaculate uniforms don't carry a wrinkle. They all are also wide awake and all organised what ever the time you arrive. The normal alcohol serving hours of outside world are unknown, too, anyone can treat themselves for example to a half-5am-champagne-breakfast. Also art & design exhibitions, express spas, silent rooms, free wi-fi, just to mention a few, are dropped into your lap, the only effort you need to make is enjoying them, if you feel like it.

Why is it such a different world behind the security control? In riches or rags, all us have learnt that flying is not just moving from place a to b. Security of air travelling being so controlled and also the human mind, not necessarily consciously, being at least a little bit skeptic about the  plane staying up successfully, adds the thrilling factor. The luxury and encouraged indulgence are quite obviously to make us forget our nervousness.

- What do you do to chase your fear of flying away? When I finished my espresso and Tatler's Diamond Jubilee issue I enjoyed the free wi-fi and browsed through images of different airlines’ most fabulous cabin crew uniforms, for future inspiration.
