Anne Fritz had been to every continent (except Antarctica) by the time she turned 30, but her favorite trips are anywhere she goes with her girlfriends. She is one of the Jet Set Girls now helping others discover new and great ways to travel. Here she shares her editors picks from her favorites on Smashing Darling.
The only thing better than vacationing in a warm weather destination in the middle of winter is rubbing it in with all your friends who are stuck in frigid temps. But an airplane ride from cold weather to warm is every snowbird’s challenge. If you dress for your island destination, you’ll catch pneumonia before the plane’s wheels are off the ground. Dress for the city you’re escaping, you’re in for a hot and sweaty ride from the airport once you reach your destination. What’s a jet set girl to do?
* Dark jeans or white? Black jeans don’t work in tropical locales—you’ll be too hot and worse, you’ll be labeled as a tourist just as quickly as if you had a guidebook glued to your forehead. But forget about wearing your favorite pair of white jeans on a plane—you’ll spill that soda you just plunked down $2 for and then they’re ruined for the trip.
The solution? This striped pair is two jeans in one! The brown stripe is still city-appropriate while the white has beach bum written all over it.
*A sunny yellow tank will keep you in good spirits, even if your luggage gets lost. This one is extra long, so no worried about your whale tale slipping out. Love the owl too. Can you ever get enough of these sage birds?
*Layering is key to comfort en route. This cozy scarf can double as a wrap if it’s cooler at night on your trip than you had anticipated. I would top the entire outfit off with a vintage denim jacket.
*Leave the Marc or Miu Miu bag at home. Instead, opt for this hobo. Not only is it big enough to double as your carry on, the turquoise accents practically scream “Pina colada”. Plus it’s microsuede, so you won’t be devastated if your bottle of sunscreen springs a leak.
*Colorful accessories are a must! This ring is playful, yet understated.
*Flip flops are an instant vacation. Keep these in your carry on, then trade your shoes as soon as your wheels down. Now your trip has officially started!

Now that the election is over the real competition can begin – the race to get a ticket to the Inaugural Ball. Although it isn’t until January people are talking already debating how to make a splashy entrance to what is guaranteed to be a historic party.
But what are the rest of us mere mortals to do? And must we wait until the beginning of 2009 to get all dressed up? With the holiday season fast approaching we are given the opportunity to step out of our every day clothes and put on something glam. So while everyone at your office holiday party will have on similar dresses from department stores (cough * Ann Taylor Loft and Bloomingdales *cough) fashion from independent designers can give you a fresh and innovative appearance.
The black Hidden Sash Dress cinches the waist and provides a long, elegant silhouette. The Jolie Jolie feather purse is a statement piece that will give a unique boost to an otherwise plain outfit. Both pairs of earrings and the onyx necklace were chosen because a drop of shimmer can be incredibly graceful with a v-neck or strapless dress. The gold Taylor Gown has a dramatic back and a small train that together are smoldering.
These items have design elements that are whimsical, classic, and seductive. Which, as it turns out, are also words that can describe a great bash – political or otherwise. Just don’t be surprised when you walk into the big event and are voted best dressed.
Hidden Sash Dress – Samoy Lenko
Jolie Jolie in Black – Rlee Collection
Taylor Evening Gown – The 615 Project
Sparkling Flower and Pearl Earrings – Scorpienna’s Beadery
Emerald and Gold Chandelier Earrings – Scorpienna’s Beadery
Black Onyx Pendant Necklace – Chic Gems, etc. Jewelry

Two great looks, one great coat. I don’t know about you but that is always a bonus for me. I love being able to create a whole new look just by changing the accessories. This coat/jacket is a feat of engineering. Long and sophisticated with black and white accessories or short and sassy with a knit hat and fun colors. You can’t go wrong.
Anyway
