As much fun as traveling is, I am so ready to park it in NYC for the next few weeks until the holidays roll around. Fall in NYC is definitely my favorite time of year here and I want to enjoy it before winter sets in!
This weekend Iโm staying in town and attending the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Life Conference on behalf of Express. Itโs a two-day event (Saturday 11/8 & Sunday 11/9) right near Lincoln Center at the David H. Koch theatre. The panel line-up is pretty stocked — Joanna Coles, Editor-in-Chief of Cosmopolitan, Chrissy Teigen, and Elizabeth Crystal, CMO of EXPRESS, just to name a few.
If youโre interested in attending (find me and say hi if you do!), you can get discounted tickets with the code EXPRESS20. See you there!
Even though I wonโt be on a plane this weekend, Iโll still be wearing my typical travel look that also works well for a weekend conference — a cozy sweater, comfortable jeans, a thick scarf, and a pair of booties. I was joking with one of my girlfriends the other day about how โonce you go cashmere, you can never go back.โ But I definitely stood corrected when I tried on this sweater at Express! Itโs so soft, and almost feels like youโre wearing cashmere. (At a fraction of the price!) A scarf is my go-to neckwear. Especially with the current blanket scarf trend, you’ve got an accessory, a pillow, and a light throw all in one!
I always wear my boots or booties on the plane so they arenโt taking up space in my carry-on suitcase. And while I wish I could just wear sweats on the plane, I usually donโt have time to make outfit swaps. Comfy jeans are key. Iโm obsessed with Expressโ mid-rise legging jeansโฆ The perfect amount of stretch and the fit is spot on! If Iโm packing a hat, I always wear it on the plane because I donโt want to risk it getting smashed and ruined in my suitcase.
