Travel chic
How cute are these travel cases? I don’t know that I’d actually get one for myself, but the thought of me striding down an airport concourse like a supermodel, wearing large Jackie O. sunglasses (headscarf optional) and toting a pink suitcase is rather tempting. They’re available in a range of bright, kicky colors (and black, too) from Wishingfish.com, which carries a whole assortment of other fun items. And if the idea of using the cases for actual travel doesn’t float your boat, Danielle just suggested to me stacking them as a kind of side table (with storage space!), which I think is brill, for say, a retro and/or travel-inspired room. That’s the kind of thinking-outside-the-suitcase I like. (Link via last week’s “Sales & Discoveries” column in the Post.)
I think this photo from 1968 of a United Airlines flight attendant, in an A-line dress uniform, sets the mood (from Time.com’s history of flight: “The Fashionable Skies”; more at United’s website):
Fabulous. This is what travel needs nowadays: the return of a sense of glamor. Those hats can stay behind, though.
