in transit.


WOW.

crazytown.

No matter how many times I do this journey. It still leaves me pooped.

I am sitting here at JFK, with a few hours to spare ( not enough time to venture into the city ! ).

18 hours in the air. with 6 hours flying time to go!

Also...my bags are lost or have not even left south africa yet.


very frustrating but I always sort of expect it, as this is the 3rd time it has happened!!!

So I have all my necessities and one change of clothes.... but that is it. To be honest though I did not pack much, and when my BF went to lift my suitcases, he just gave me a sly smile :). oh dear.

I need to track down a winter coat + some boots asap.

Thanks for ALL your amazing words + wishes. Things have been hectic and I have not been able to respond to comments!!! So sorry.

These next few months should be interesting, as I transition into full-winter-gear....so expect heaps of layers + tracking down some yummy, chunky knits, long gloves, booties, scarfs, etc...it should be a fun journey :)

I am off to airport browse...

you guys are the best.

my heartfelt thanks.
EDIT. I AM HOME :) still awaiting luggage...
thanks for all the amazing words guys.
i will catch up on my blogging asap & post my first winter get-up SOON !!!
missing all your inspirational ways...

  8. Hey you...
    I think that the most terrifying thing for me, is loosing my luggage...Whenever I travel to Ukraine ( which I do pretty often)I always over pack and overpay for the extra weight....and thankfully it is only a 10 hour flight. You look absolutely wonderful in your traveling outfit - which is amazingly chic.

    By the way,it's been snowing here for the past two days... hehe.

    P.S. If you don't mind me asking which part of Canada are you from ?

    Have a safe trip.

  10. I feel as if I missed so many fantastic posts while I was away this weekend. I like those breezy dresses/skirts you're wearing.
    Good luck with the traveling. It is such a nuisance, but the destination usually makes it worth the trip. I hope your bags re-surface.

  24. Goodness, I know what it's like to have your luggage constantly misplaced. It's incredibly annoying, but 99% chance that you'll get it with the next flight. I wish you a happy journey and I'm very glad you're making us partake in it through your blog. Kiss

  25. Ahhhh, I missed four whole posts?!? :'( And four super beautiful outfits! Aw, I really hate my job, I should complain to my boss that I need better or less hours, because hello! I'm missing super fabulous posts from the likes of LeeseLooks and other bloggers! I'm sure I'd get a blank stare in response to that! haha.

    Anyway, I love your outfit, you travel in such chic style! You set an example, because too many people travel in very sloppy ensembles (sp), but clearly you show that travel fashion does not have to me lame-o! :P

    Anway, wish I could write more, but alas I'm attempting a 100 + comment reply session within about 3 hours, so must carry on! Hope you are well my dear! <3

    xoxo,
