The Denim Jacket</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">This year it's perhaps my favorite go-to piece. Mine is relatively fitted, so it has a nice streamlined look, and works with absolutely everything, giving a chic, smart casual look.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Gucci Aviators</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I love my Gucci Aviators! They are bigger than your average aviator, and I adore the detail at the hinge. Mine are in gold.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. White Sandals</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">This summer I'm wearing mostly white. I love layering white on white (the denim jacket looks fabulous layered with whites), and a white or gold sandal looks lovely with it.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I love crisp, white sandals with shorts or skinny jeans, and they look perfect with sundresses too.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Turquoise Scarf</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I've never considered myself a scarf person, but I picked up a bunch of these as gifts in a market in Paris last year, and ended up keeping some for myself.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Again with the white on white wardrobe I'm wearing this summer a bright scarf is fun,, and if the evening gets cooler a scarf comes in handy.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Stephanie Johnson Miami Collection Cosmetic Bags</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I am <i>obsessed</i> with these for travel! I have all 3 sizes, and rotate them around depending on my needs. They are perfect for any airline travel as the TSA can see through them without you having to pull them apart and put your skincare/cosmetics/haircare into ziplock bags in the airport screening lines. Being that they are made by Stephanie Johnson you have the added benefit of their brilliant construction - everything arrives to your location in one piece, not broken and leaking through your luggage. And they look incredibly chic.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. Oribe Travel Sized Hair Spray</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I have 2 that I travel with. The first is the <i>Oribe Dry Texturizing</i> Spray, which adds texture like a dry shampoo and the second is the <i>Oribe Anti Humidity Spray</i> which gives you control and eliminates humidity frizz, but also is malleable so you can still work with your hair.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. Neals' Yard Travel Sized Products</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">My winter was owned by the amazing <a href="http://corinnabsworld.blogspot.com/2013/12/winter-skin-rescue-product-wild-rose.html"><span style="color: blue;">Neal's Yard Wild Rose Beauty Balm,</span> </a></span><span style="font-size: large;">my summer is all about 3 travel ready beauty products from Neal's Yard.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://corinnabsworld.blogspot.com/2014/08/neals-yard-organic-facial-wipes.html"><span style="color: blue;">Neal's Yard Organic Facial Wipes</span></a>,<a href="http://corinnabsworld.blogspot.com/2014/08/neals-yard-white-tea-facial-mist.html"><span style="color: blue;">White Tea Facial Mist</span></a> </span>and <a href="http://corinnabsworld.blogspot.com/2014/08/neals-yard-organic-argan-oil.html">Organic Argan Oil</a></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">(click on each link for a product breakdown)</span></div>

Should an impromptu trip to somewhere exciting or an international makeup job land in my lap, I am always ready to go.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">You can organize a passport through the USPS, but it normally takes a few weeks, so don't leave it too late. You can pick up an International Driving Permit through AAA, each one is valid for a year.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">While traveling overseas you are required to keep your passport with you pretty much all the time. I like to keep mine in a stylish passport holder, such as this new one I just received from Stephanie Johnson, purveyor of luxe makeup bags, luggage accoutrements and iPad covers. Her products are coveted and adored by celebrities (that's how I first found her fabulous makeup bags - actresses I  work with have them).</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7jF4Y8eJmWZ-8a60CF4awEmAUy94QcRMrl9efmnsV9JuJ7gpWCDM3vSG2DQOZE2vhvx4WeAhaRnouUXrzbNbA8FSnha5ATs3zq_bNIhyWvWcpIkdXJ9QHru9ZKB3Noajzcq_hqhn2tc/s1600/passport+case+malibu+lemon.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7jF4Y8eJmWZ-8a60CF4awEmAUy94QcRMrl9efmnsV9JuJ7gpWCDM3vSG2DQOZE2vhvx4WeAhaRnouUXrzbNbA8FSnha5ATs3zq_bNIhyWvWcpIkdXJ9QHru9ZKB3Noajzcq_hqhn2tc/s1600/passport+case+malibu+lemon.JPG" title="Stephanie Johnson Passport Cover and Luggage Tag in Malibu Lemon" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pashmina, Gucci Aviators, Stephanie Johnson Passport Cover and Luggage Tag.<br />Ready to board my flight...</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">This year I am traveling with my new <a href="http://www.stephaniejohnson.com/products.asp?p_id=202&s1_id=242"><span style="color: blue;">Malibu Lemon</span></a> passport holder and matching luggage tags. Although my luggage is pretty easily identifiable I do like my accessories to match one another. The passport holder not only stops my passport from getting beaten up in my handbag, but it makes it easy to locate, and more difficult to leave behind anywhere.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">And its beautiful and sunny.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">The<span style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://www.stephaniejohnson.com/products.asp?p_id=202&s1_id=240"><span style="color: blue;">Stephanie Johnson Passport Cover</span></a></span> comes in several fabulous colors, check them all out at <a href="http://stephaniejohnson.com/"><span style="color: blue;">StephanieJohnson.com</span></a></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">In addition to the lovely Malibu Lemon (which makes me think of the Amalfi Coast and Capri, two of the fabulous locations the <i>Corinna B's World Glam Italia 2014 Tour</i> will be hitting this September), I especially love the Malibu Aqua and Malibu Orange.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Order yours before they sell out!</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
