Gift Ideas for the Jetsetter

It’s the craziest time of year to travel, so believe me when I say that I’m actually excited to stay put this Thanksgiving.  On any other day though, I’d hop on a plane in a heartbeat, headphones and passport case in hand.  For this gift guide, I rounded up a few must haves for the holiday jetsetter.  Comfort and convenience are key when traveling, so a cozy cape and a giant tote bag are perfectly acceptable accessories.  So tell me: where are you off to this weekend and what travel essentials are you taking with you?

Black Sleeveless Trench & Red Dress

So I’m sleeveless … in November.  That’s weird, right?  … especially after being bundled up from head to toe all week long. But hey, when life gives you 50°F weather on a Sunday afternoon, you take it and pretend like it’s autumn all over again.  I bought this sleeveless trench coat from Ann Taylor a few months back, but never got a chance to wear it until now.  And this rose-print dress?  Perfectly fine for winter, but way more fun with bare legs.  I hope you got a chance to take your favorite fall pieces out for one last spin this weekend … sans sleeves and sans tights.
