How to Travel Like a Supermodel

The holiday season is upon us, and that means family time, heaps of Thanksgiving food, and one necessary evil: travel.

While traveling (and packing specifically) can be a headache for many, just because you’re jet-setting doesn’t mean you have to leave fashion by the wayside. Just ask Joan Smalls. The supermodel is such a pro at looking polished and poised right off a plane that W Hotels partnered with her to create an “Off Duty” closet collection inspired by her.


Seven emerging designers created pieces using Joan Smalls’s style as inspiration, and the results are impressive. They include Smalls’s hand-picked looks for an on-the-go woman, but that’s not even the best part. All the brands involved are fronted by women, and on top of it, Smalls is donating her portion of the proceeds to Puerto Rican disaster relief—and W hotels is matching it. Talk about a win-win.

“Joan and I came up with words that would describe her style: urban, feminine, and tomboy. She’s really very consistent in a picture from 2007 to 2017 because she always looks like herself when she’s off the runway,” said “Off Duty” Creative Director Sarah Easley. “She always has a cool leather moto jacket or distressed denim, and broken down it’s pretty simple pieces, but they fit her perfectly and then she does really feminine makeup and hair, so it’s a balanced look.”


You can shop the "Off Duty" pieces here, but before you do, check out our interview with Smalls below to hear her tips on how to travel like a supermodel, how to pack for specific abroad locations, and why she’s donating her portion of the project's proceeds to Puerto Rican hurricane relief.

A Change Of Pace

Hey guys! Happy Mondayyy!

It's an Insta-fact according to me that word play is one of the most fun things on Instagram. 

FRIYAY? Genius. 

Mondaze? I think we can all relate. 

Recently I've been taking things slower, and I am sure some of you have noticed that I have been posting a little less frequently on the blog. It's been around a year since I've been blogging full time, and I've felt the need in recent weeks to take time to stop, reflect and plan. With the year coming to an end, it's felt like a natural time to do this. 

The extra time I am dedicating to research (thank you Kindle app), sleeping, and generally feeding the inspiration part of my brain (which y'know, has a filing system and everything), has got me bursting with ideas and plans.

A couple of weeks ago, Oli and I travelled to Swanage with some friends for the weekend. The change of scene was just what we needed to recharge our batteries. 48 hours of laughter, long walks and many many "oh my gawwwd do you remember when . . . " recaps (local cider. Killer.) had us driving home on the Sunday with smiles all round.

In times gone by I wouldn't have allowed myself time to slow down and reflect, but I've come to learn how important it is, both personally and on a business level. I'm embracing the slower pace, and yes, it actually feels really good

I'd love to know if you have any thoughts on changing up the pace? Do you take time to do the same?  And are you looking forward to the New Year too?! 


Love,
