Traveling Glamorously with Melisa, that Feathery Lil Bee!

Hi Beauty Filers! I’m Melisa from The Lil Bee and Feather Report. In honor of sweet Lisi’s vacation, I thought I’d put together a beauty file of my own, chock full of travel essentials for the fashionable jetsetter. Let’s get started…

First, travelista, you’ll need a cute outfit for wherever your adventures take you…something that can be paired with flip-flops, heels, or an attaché and oxfords for a covert operation. It all starts with the dress…

Margarita Short Dress, $99 (On sale from $250), Calypso; Michael Michael Kors Round Goldtone Men’s Watch, $180, Bloomingdale’s; Argilla A583 Oxfords, $350, Re-soul; Men’s Porte-Documents Voyage, $3230, Louis Vuitton.

Then, lovey, you’ll want a good travel kit. I like to make my own, using hotel minis and makeup counter samples I’ve picked up over the years. It’s much more convenient than pouring your toiletries into 4oz containers. But, if you’re not a beauty product hoarder like myself, you can order this 5 Star Hotel Kit from Flight 001, which comes complete with Malin + Goetz hair essentials, a yummy scented candle, and a Do Not Disturb door sign.

And finally, you’ll want a little something to help you locate your luggage when you return to JFK and brave the inevitably disastrous baggage claim line. These tags by Hayden-Harnett will make your suitcase stand out from the sea of black, plus they're cute enough to attach to your laptop case for everyday use.

Happy travels, sweet peas! And I do hope you’ll come visit me at The Lil Bee and Feather Report, where I promise to keep you looking head-to-toe adorbs all year round.
