Review: Women's ExOfficio Getn Away Capri Pants

Womens travel clothing - Women's travel pants
Summer is definitely here, and I love it! One thing warmer temperatures mean, is that wearing long pants isn't always comfortable, especially the jeans I tend to live in all winter. Shorts are great of course, but there are times when shorts just aren't the most appropriate, or the most comfortable. That's when a pair of capri pants can fill the gap nicely.

Ex Officio Getn Away Capris I recently got a pair of Women's ExOfficio Get'n Away Capris. After putting them through the wringer (so to speak), here's what I found.

Comfort: The material is comfortable, soft on the skin, and has just enough give that it moves with you, without stretching out or losing its shape. You know how some women's pants fit looser after you've worn them a few hours? I didn't have that issue with these; whether I spent my the day sitting down or walking around, they kept their fit. Outside on 90+ degree days, the capri-length pants stayed remarkably cool and dry, providing shade and plenty of ventilation.

Style: I chose the ExOfficio Get'n Away Capris largely because of their styling...

Review: Keen Balboa women's sport sandals

Womens travel clothing - Womens travel shoes
It seems like I've been hearing about Keen sandals from everybody recently, including a bunch of our customers. Their outdoor adventure sandals get so many rave reviews, that I simply had to buy a pair and try them out myself.

keen balboa sandals I opted for a pair of the Keen Balboa sport sandals, because I liked the look of the design. It's a bit lighter on the strap-work than some of the others, and they still looked like sturdy enough hiking sandals to handle plenty of outdoor activity. I was looking forward to wearing something cooler than my trusty hiking boots as the weather warms up here, too.

In reading other people's experiences, I found quite a few people who said they had to order Keen sport sandals a half-size different than their normal shoe size. The only problem was that some needed a half-size smaller, and others needed a half-size bigger! What's a person to do?

Travel bags & purses - Travel purses

leather healthy back bag1. I've used a Leather Healthy Back Bag for years, and I love it. These purses have a unique ergonomic shape that's designed to distribute the weight to minimize stress on back, neck or shoulders. As a result, you can carry a heavy purse for hours of sightseeing, more easily than with many other shoulder bags. Since my travel purse is often weighed down with camera, guidebooks, and other travel essentials, this is great! It's big enough to carry what I need, and has inside and outside pockets to keep it all organized.

Women's travel clothes - Choosing your ideal travel wardrobe

Womens travel clothing
Going on a vacation or business trip can be exciting and rewarding, but one aspect many of us dread is packing our travel clothes. How do you pick the right combination of women's travel clothes to have enough outfits, without going overboard? In addition to the hassle of lugging luggage, airlines seem to keep increasing the price to check bags, so it pays to pack smart. There are a few key tips to keep in mind, that will keep your suitcase in control while providing you with all the travel clothes you need.

Women's travel jacketPLANNING IS KEY It might seem like common sense, but don't assume you know what the weather will be. Keep an eye on the ten day forecast immediately prior to your trip and plan your travel clothing accordingly. Even if you are heading to a tropical getaway, nights may get cool. You will also want to know if rain is expected, as well as any other possible weather surprises. Even though you plan for the forecast, make sure that you have some fallbacks, and travel clothes that include a light travel jacket or a warm sweater. This way you will be prepared no matter what Mother Nature decides to bring your way. Forecasters can be fallible too!
