We find keeping a diary to be a somewhat serious business, but with teNeues’ ingenious Famous Faces journal set, writing just got a bit more fun. These notebooks covered in humorous photos of animals dressed as familiar pop culture icons are both cheeky and charming, and offer up irreverent homages to stars such as Audrey Hepburn, Mr. T, and Dr. Spock, among others. They also make for great presents (we’re already thinking of picking up a few for holiday gifts and stashing them). Jot down your dearest inspirations, far-flung ideas, and maybe even a few secret fantasies in one of these charmingly offbeat tablets (but don’t say we didn’t warn you if you can’t get past squeeing over the cover). Get it here!

The ideeli Scoop with Claire Newell

Edited by The Fashion Web

SOURCE:The ideeli Scoop with Claire Newell
As the founder of Jubilee Tours and Travel Ltd 17 years ago, author of Travel Best Bets, and frequent guest on the TODAY show, Claire Newell knows all about the best destinations and how to get there in one, pulled-together piece. Her line of luggage (check out our sale here) incorporates must-have features for making the journey stress-free, including telescoping handles and easy-gliding wheels. So, as we plan late-summer getaways (and even full-fledged vacations!) who better to answer some of our most burning travel questions than Newell herself? From travel etiquette (look back before reclining your seat!) to organization (packing cubes are Newell’s secret weapon), even the most seasoned travelers can benefit from the travel guru’s innovative yet no-nonsense tips.

What’s always on your travel check-list?
• Pashmina (works great as a pillow or blanket on the plane)
• Packing cubes (makes packing simple and keeps everything organized)
• Photocopies of all travel and identification documents (if anything goes wrong or is lost, makes the reissuing process easier)
• Wrinkle-proof, comfortable, yet fashionable clothes for the plane

What are some must-knows about keeping your wardrobe fashionable on the road? Are there packing tips, hotel secrets, etc. that will help keep your pieces looking like they just stepped out of your closet (and not your suitcase)?
• It is important to bring options that can go from day to night with a little bit of accessorizing or a shoe change. Black pieces tend to be the best options for this.
• It is fantastic that jersey material is fashionable now, as it is much less likely to wrinkle.
• There are many packing methods that prevent wrinkling in transit. Using packing cubes definitely help with this. There also bundling and layering with tissue paper.
• I also make sure to hang-up my more wrinkle prone pieces as soon as I get to the hotel room. The more time it has out of the suitcase, the more the likely the wrinkles are to shake out.

What are your secrets to stress-free flying?
• I always have something to keep me occupied. My iPhone is great because I can watch movies, listen to music etc.
• “Checking out” and being able to silence my surroundings is very important to me, so headphones are a must.
• Always book insurance. You will rest easier knowing you are protected.
• Check in early. You can do this online now, and it really makes the process much smoother.
• If you can, travel only with a carry-on. The eliminates waiting at the carousel, or the chance of the airline losing your luggage.

When you experience travel problems, as we all do, how do you cope?
• It is important to stay calm. Panicking will get you nowhere.
• This is why booking travel insurance is so important, it really acts like a lifesaver during the times you need it most.

What are your top travel etiquette tips?
I have some major pet peeves on this topic!

• Look back before reclining your seat. This way you give the person behind you some warning that you will be moving and their drink is less likely to end up in their laps.
• The person in the middle row gets access to both arm rests. This is only fair as they are the poor souls cramped in the middle.
• Do some research on the country you are traveling to before going there. Take a the time to brief yourself on key phrases and customs. This could save you some major embarrassment in destination.

What destinations are still on your travel wish list and why?
I would love to visit South America. Machu Piccu and its incredible history blows my mind. I would also love to see San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina.

What’s been your own most memorable trip?
Volunteering in an orphanage in Jamaica with my family was life changing. Seeing my own children interact with the children there and knowing we were impacting their lives was beyond heart-warming.

Pick of the Day: JILL Jill Stuart

Edited by The Fashion Web

If anyone knows dresses, it’s Jill Stuart. And she comes by her fashion chops quite honestly: her parents ran the iconic ’60s label Mister Pants, which dressed leading ladies of the day like Lucille Ball and Natalie Wood. As a result, Stuart was raised in the world of fashion and, at only fifteen, sold her first collection to Bloomingdale’s. Needless to say, there was nowhere to go but up from there, and that she has—especially in the arena of dresses. With their sheer silks and rebellious hemlines, Stuart’s girly designs border on daring, but always remain proper. We love the understatedly sexy allure of this strapless lemon yellow silk gown from her JILL Jill Stuart line for that very reason. Statement-making without being forward, its sweetheart neckline, draped folds, and stunning color are one way to stop all conversation in a room (in a great way). Its classic silhouette will also make it relevant season-after-season without ever seeming dated. Get it here!
