A Special Guest Today.
Hello. Today, I invited a Friend and Awesome Blogger over on my blog. She is Lorena from Lorena's Every Day Wear. Lorena is someone who luckily gets to travel everywhere in the world because of her job. Since today I am flying home to Michigan, I figured it was perfect to have a post about traveling, ready. Here she has lots of tips and advise about Traveling in Style, basing it from her own experience, too. Thank you so much Lorena for agreeing to be part of this Very Special Guest Post, today. =)
Please head on to her blog to see her Chic, Classic Style as well as all the Gorgeous Photos from her travels. Plus, she is a real nice gal with a nice sense of humor, too.
Hi I'm Lorena from Lorena's Everyday Wear a small blog about what I wear everyday, that just turned 4 !
Ada thought it would be a good idea for me to write a guest post now that she's shopping (because I know she is) and visiting her parents in the US.
My job, which is in the perfumery field demands some traveling through an extensive region which is the main reason I am on the road a lot.
My last trips included Colombia, Switzerland, Turkey and Amsterdam.
I have yet to describe my own style, but if I must, words that
come to my mind are conservative, modest and sometimes trendy.
Ada asked me to give a few tips on traveling.
Based on experience I will just name a few:
Don't take the metro or your might end up like me in Paris,
robbed at the first metro station - because I wanted to save a few €.
So you won't end up like me, borrowing a top from a complete
stranger and wearing the same underwear 2 days in a row
after sleeping on the floor of the Punta Cana airport
in the Dominican Republic.
on a trip back home from Caracas, Venezuela where they also stole my perfume, toothpaste and deodorant!
when I misread my flight's departure hour.
When I travel for leisure I am a woman with a list and a
mission to accomplish, which it to visit all sites that interest me.
It does not take precious space in your bag and comes in really handy.
It's worked marvels for me in the San Telmo market in Argentina.
Pick pockets are not too fond of these as you keep them close to your body.
First place in it your wallet and camera, so it's at the bottom
of the bag. You can throw in there a bottle of water and your scarf
and you can also throw in any small purchases. So your hands are free :)
I hope my little tips have been of assistance :)
Hugs,
Lorena

2 Things:
- Your Tips have been so Valuable, at least to me. I hope they are to anyone who reads this as well. Thank you so much.
- You know me well. YES, I will be shopping in the States.
P.S. Stay tuned tomorrow for Mom's Summer Item Series I collaborate on, with Agnes from Vodka Infused Lemonade. And I am taking the rest of the weekend off to relax from a super long flight and the jet-lag, as well as spend some valuable time with my family. I will see you all next week.
Safe Travels to Vivian & I !!!

Based on experience I will just name a few:
- Take a big light summer scarf with you.
 |
| My Just Cavalli scarf kept the sand from getting in my nose while riding a camel in the Saharan dunes. |
It will help you keep warm in the plane and away from those airplane blankets that you have no idea of when they were last cleaned.
This scarf also comes in handy if it's raining or if it's too sunny
and you need some coverage.
Or you can tie it to make a summer night skirt like I did to go
get pizza in St. Maarten.
They make you instantly chic. Cover your tired eyes.
Protect your eyes from the sun.
In colder climates they keep your eyes
from drying up while your are out walking.
If your hair is not having a good day, they help you keep it in place.
- Bring your sunglasses

- Take a secure taxi
Don't take the metro or your might end up like me in Paris,
robbed at the first metro station - because I wanted to save a few €.
- Take your toothbrush, deo, top and underwear in your carry on.
So you won't end up like me, borrowing a top from a complete
stranger and wearing the same underwear 2 days in a row
after sleeping on the floor of the Punta Cana airport
in the Dominican Republic.
- Pack small valuable goods, like earrings in your carry on bag.
on a trip back home from Caracas, Venezuela where they also stole my perfume, toothpaste and deodorant!

- Look once, twice or three times if necessary at the time your flight leaves and coordinate transport accordingly.
when I misread my flight's departure hour.
- Wether for work or leisure make a day-by-day schedule or a list of things to do.
When I travel for leisure I am a woman with a list and a
mission to accomplish, which it to visit all sites that interest me.
- Take one big, light fabric, deep, dark colored tote with you.

It's worked marvels for me in the San Telmo market in Argentina.
