Summer's Fashionable Traveling

Passport expiation date?...check.
Get Visa from the embassy?... check.
A colorful luggage to easily notice it on the luggage arrival runway? ...check.
Stylish & comfortable clothes? ...check.
Agenda of Where to go and What to do? ...mmm... I'll check with the hotel concierge.. right?

WRONG! If you're planning to go to cities with fashion influence such as London, Milan, Paris, Dubai, or New York this summer, then you have to do your homework first. Very few people, ever think of putting an effort to do some research on the cities they are planning to go to. Take it from me, as much as I hate to admit it, it's not always about shopping, shopping, and shopping. There are beautiful and stylish things to see and do in those cities.

So, if you're traveling to these places, or any other place, let me know and I'll give you some trendy travel tips. Feel free to post a comment or e-mail me with your destination details.

Speaking of traveling, I read in the news that Space tourism pioneer Virgin Galactic has appointed Dubai-based travel agency Sharaf Travel as its "Accredited Space Office" for the Middle East region.The agency will offer commercial space flights to consumers in the Middle East at a cost of US $200,000 per ticket. Anyone interested?

What do you say Confashion? Let's book a couple of tickets and head out to space... I bet that will be something to write about... There will be a day when travel to space will cost what it costs to fly on an airplane today... mark my words... By the way... you can fly even further than space for a minimal cost... it's a destination called Heaven... you kind find travel details in the Quran :)

Has any one been to Sri Lanka? I was quite impressed... It is an amazingly beautiful country... I would also like to suggest Cape Town in South Africa but you'll need to wait until the end of the year as it is Winter there now. Where is the most amazing place everyone else has been?

Exactly right! Those old trainers are soooooo comfy, but you can't go to Bond Street, Champs Elysees or Rodeo Drive with them on! Don't forget to pack the cool stuff too.
What about northwest Italy (Piedmont)? We're going walking so will have the boots, but what about what to wear in Milan in July?

casual casual casual..you could go to a fancy restaurant or late night shows in jeans, and no one would give you a second look. And I'm assuming you're going to Australia during the summer am I right? So pack heavier clothing since it is going to be winterish. pack 2 Juicy track suits, walking trainers, lots of cotton shirts & tanks to layer (Layers are the best strategy if the weather is so and so), a wind-breaker, skinny & straight jeans, chic ballerina flats, a pashmina, knitted cardigan in a neytral color, and a nice shopping bag (a clutch would also be useful for night outs). bon voyage ;)

aaah milan, one of themost fashionable cities in italy. Loves it!

I read somewhere that Milan’s average temperature actually stays about the same throughout the year. Average summer high temperatures are around 25 & 30 degrees Celsius and are considered comfortable since we are used to the dry and hot weather over here. Sometimes it does get a little bit humid so make sureto take your anti-frizz products :) hope that's useful :)

I've never been to South Africa not Sri Lanka. I'd like to go there sometime. Maybe after retirement? :P
All the fashionable cities I have been too were my fave :)

Oh and I forgot to answer your question on what to wear in Milan! Whatever you do, under no circumstances should you wear a track suit. Juicy or not Juicy. You need to dress up (in a casual way) in Milan. People there are trendy and they tend to give you the "look-over" once you step inside a restaurant or a store. So take your skinny jeans, flat shoes, summery dresses, shahtoosh or pashmina, a chic day bag. High-heels for night outs. And a couple of plain fitted shirts or tops.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
