Saturday Style Note

In transit

I love to fly. There is something so liberating about sitting above the clouds, in transit, away from it all. A plane seat is somewhere I have always felt my most free. I often journal and mind-map, sketching out future plans and checking in with myself in a way I just can’t do in the day to day. The distance from earth, scaling out and seeing the big picture always leads to better insights.

I am also a succinct packer (sometimes to my own detriment!) but the sign of a good trip is when you’ve worn every packed piece - I loathe waste and having the wrong clothes when away. Airport style is truly one of my favourite pastimes and clearly I was born in the wrong era because I don’t believe you should travel in joggers and sweatshirts. I’ve met the most interesting people on planes, including most recently being asked out on a date (EasyJet really takes on a whole new meaning) So here is my perfect spring travel outfit - including the best denim on the high-street - I’m seriously impressed!
