      What do you pack when you're headed off to paradise?What do you pack when you're headed off to paradise?As most women know, we often carry more than we need when traveling. We like to anticipate… "what if I need this or that" is a constantly rotating sentence when packing.

      Here are 5 key items to include in your suitcase for a weekend getaway that not only guarantee a light, easy and comfortable baggage experience but a fashionable trip as well.

      Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham Display Chic Airport StyleSarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham Display Chic Airport StyleAs a big fan of letting the airport halls act as your own personal runway, today's post is dedicated to chic airport fashion. There are always going to be days when you don't feel like dressing up, it is important however to remember not to let yourself go. Don't let your sweatpants become your uniform. If you're a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, enhance your outfit with a statement necklace, add a funky cocktail ring or spice up your look with a pair of colorful sexy heels (Check out Sarah Jessica Parker's Nicholas Kirkwood Sandals in turquoise &black). Going casual chic is really simple, it's about using one item to take your outfit to the next level (Victoria Beckham's boyfriend blazer adds that something "extra" to her look even though she's wearing cargo pants.) The point is whether you're at the grocery store, out shopping or at the airport...basically anytime you step outside your house, make an
      effort!

Bangles made a big come back with the "Bohemian Chic" movement and with so many fun ways to wear them, there's no doubt that they'll be around for quite some time.

Most designers have always relied on brand loyalty but with the shift in the economy also came a shift in consumer consciousness. Luckily for all the "frugal fashionistas" out there, designers have adapted and found ways to cater to the "deal conscious" consumer in each of us.

So, how does a Chic Fashionista stay stylish and on budget? Here are a few things to keep in mind…
