Everyone knows how much I loved travelling with my Eddie Bauer Ignitelite Reversible Jacket while cruising up the coast of Scotland. What started out as a search for the sleeveless version, ended in me purchasing my first ever friend-approved winter coat. I live my life based on the less is more principle, however this does not translate well in the cold days of winter.Explore
Fashion and Function…Even When It’s Cold Outside

A Savvy Investment in Bootwear

Ex Officio Zhanna Reversible Legging
These reversible leggings have become an essential item in my case for so many different types of travel, especially when looking to travel light.

The leggings look fab with boots, ballet flats or sneakers. The fabric is thick enough to not be transparent, and keep me cozy on cold airplanes but thin enough to be flexible and comfortable.
