You have perfect timing. (okay this was two weeks ago) but I’m flying to San Francisco in two weeks and need to pack lightly. I refuse to pay to check a bag. So I ordered this brighter-than-I-thought-it-would-be cerise+white rolling duffel and was going to get a black moop bag. yeah – turns out I am blonde (for real and in personality sometimes) and forgot to select the black bag. I’m getting a rosewood bag. all good. BUT I’m going to have to wear head-to-toe black on my flights to and from SF so I don’t clash with the red tote and cerise duffel.

Wait, why am I commenting? Oh yeah – I will be in SF exactly five days and need to figure out precisely what I’ll need. I’m going to print out this post, study it, and make a packing list from it.

Well done. You looked amazing. *bravo*

1. That neck warmer is brilliant. I carry a scarf with me everywhere (unless it’s *guaranteed* to be over 80 degrees) because my neck is always cold.

2. I too have long arms and a long torso, and I concur re: the Mossimo shirts. They were my great discovery of a couple summers ago, when the predominant fashion choices were belly-baring girly Ts and WTF, is this a dress or a shirt? Ts.

My god woman! You are just beautiful! You wear clothing wonderfully, you have amazing style and the hair…well, I dye mine to be something close to the wonderful color that you seem to have been graced with. The photo standing on the bed is very Grace from Will and Grace (in a good way, in case you hated that character – I loved Grace Adler!)

Personally, my one pair of shoes would probably have ended up being my 6 year old, very-worn-in-and-comfortable Doc Martens. I LOVE them and can’t live without them. And walking all over NYC…well, they would save me from a week of post-city blisters!

In short, you rock! Go you!

OK……so I’ve always thought you were a lovely woman – intelligent, witty, something to mold myself (and any daughters I may someday have) into, etc. But when did you suddenly become so smoking hot too? It’s been creeping up for the last couple months, but the picture standing on the hotel bed really clinched it. What gives?

Super chic! So inspiring … I’d love to travel with one bag. Never seems to happen, though.

I travel quite alot, but I’m sure I have NEVER looked as stylish as you. Kudos, because that’s quite an impressive look, no matter how many bags you took on board.

LOVE THE BOOTS!!! Love the hats, too. And boys are always wrong about hats. It’s as though scrotum = no ability to understand how cool hats are.
