h.o.l.i.d.a.y.t.r.a.v.e.l by luxevii featuring oversized sweaters

Sunday morning. Noon. And I'm still in our queen size bed with our fluffy white duvet all messy (including my hair). But I'm loving the atmosphere and so I'm sitting here dreaming of an outfit for those of you on Holiday Travel this cold December. First I recommend trouser sweatpants with easy slip-on suede booties. With a sweater that has leather sleeves (this looks chic and you stay warm) pair with long leather gloves (I like to roll up my sleeves, plus the gloves make me feel luxurious and so put together!) This leather duffel is a carry-on dream, it has easy access for your iPhone, passport, laptop or iPad, glasses, and camera...(tip) always carry-on your camera as it is breakable/fragile. Do NOT forget your favorite Starbucks drink. Anyway, this is what I rock at the airport but I'm still trying to find a sweater with leather sleeves online (they are not cheap) so cross fingers I can find one used or on sale. hhmmm...

Today's post comes from a Polyvore contest I've entered and this is my favorite design for an interior if I had an apartment in Paris, France. My design is clean textures for kitchen and bath; warm textures for the bedroom and my vanity. I chose the sheepskin chair for the space of my vanity, including a long, floor mirror because I like to be warm while putting my makeup on and styling my hair. I'll make another post and describe further on my vanity area, bedroom and bath. Anyway these days I like to design with a masculine feel because I am married. Living with my man has changed my taste in interior décor to not only be part of me, but him as well. So girly, pink, and fluffy things covered in lace just doesn't satisfy my taste anymore; which is fine because I feel like I'm growing and expanding in my tastes. I'm learning so much about what I love and whom I love - I am so fortunate to have my hubby be part of this!

I am taking business to the next level...oh yes I'm in my pj's all day and total of 2 cups of coffee but getting a lot done on Polyvore and a post on my Luxe VII blog. Hence, today's post looks like me in 'Brunch Club' pj's, lamb slippers, my apple laptop on a well textured table/today's desk, while sitting on my cozy fur rug. BTW it's so rainy outside so it goes with the coffee. Anyway it's all of this VS. 'the big dreams' that are floating around in my mind, which I'm not complaining about because I have a good (entertaining) imagination. The 3 photos in today's post are representing handsome man, the baby, and the jet set lifestyle. I have such a handsome hubby that I literally sometimes wonder how I got so lucky and that our families bring up the word 'baby' like this is some kind of event to have followed our wedding. And while I love babies and hope to have some in the near future, I am just not in a hurry. I'm loving the jet setters blogs and instagram accounts and taking their cool new tips/tricks from them on our travels. My handsome man will just have to remain my 'Baby' for now who also still loves to travel just as much as I do. Not to mention we have our loving Yorkies whom I seriously believe are spoiled to the max.  Still, I am loving this life I've made for myself; receiving so much inspiration of a luxury-type life from Instagram....and yes babies sometimes creep in and I am inspired and in love...with the idea. I am a patient little lady....I can wait LOL
