Travel Babe Lounge Set by Lounge Lover

I love the versatility in this four-piece cashmere/modal blend set from Lounge Lover. You could wear all the pieces at the same time or individually—the tank dress would still look great on its own! A perfect gift idea for the jetsetter who appreciates luxe fabrics and a comfortable flight.

Say Hi to Thursday: A Comfy Travel Outfit

Say Hi to Thursday, a special day of the week when there's only one more work day before a glorious weekend awaits. Pretty Little Underthings will showcase a weekend-perfect piece we'd love to wear.

Lounge Lover Sweet Insomnia Cashmere Blend Dress 

& Kiki de Montparnasse Cashmere-Blend Ribbed Leggings

This week, my weekend officially starts today after work! I'm taking tomorrow off for a girls' trip to Boston to visit one of my beloved girlfriends at law school. I'm going through my mental closet trying to think of what I should wear for the 4-hour train ride from NYC to Boston and back. I was browsing around and saw these two pieces that look so incredibly comfy and warm, and would be perfect for this weekend. Say hi to Thursday!

What's your favorite travel wear? Something fancy or something lounge-y and comfortable?

Lounge Lover Dress, $190. Kiki de Montparnasse Leggings, $495. Both available at Net-a-Porter.com.

Stirrup Leggings: Yay or Nay?

My coworker was searching for new jeans online the other week, and she came across a lot of jeggings, leggings, then stirrup leggings. Yes—STIRRUP LEGGINGS. I nearly died when she mentioned them, and suddenly all of wonderful memories of the cute (and incredibly comfortable) outfits my mom used to buy me in elementary school came to mind. Like, tops with cute (sometimes neon) prints and ribbons and matching bottoms that oftentimes were—you guessed it—stirrup leggings. (I mean, come on, it was the 90's).

Then the next day on the bus, I saw a woman wearing stirrup leggings but she was probably in her 60's, so I'm guessing she's had 'em for awhile. 

And then a few days ago, I found these on Net-a-Porter.com. The new and improved stirrup leggings for 2010-2011. 

So, I'm not gonna lie, aside from the atrocious price tag, I kinda love them. Soft black jersey, cute buttons and a higher-rise waist to avoid accidental plumber's crack, and the stirrup would ensure that the legs don't ride up and twist around throughout the day. However, I feel like one con would be the difficulty in tailoring the length. If you have shorter legs like me, these are bound to be too long and the stirrup is kinda moot, no?

What do you think about stirrup leggings? Should we leave 'em in the '90's or let them come back if they promise to cooperate with everyone?
