Anytime I post asking for tips to avoid baggage fees, readers recommend SCOTTeVEST. It sounded kind of silly to me–load up your coat pockets to avoid checking a bag? Why would anyone do that?? So when SCOTTeVEST wanted to send me their women’s trench coat to try out, I was intrigued. Read on for my…
It’s December, and chilly weather is sweeping the nation. It’s not always easy to stay warm and dry this time of year, especially during frequent travel. Here are two pairs of boots for winter business travel that look great, are comfortable, and will keep you snug as a bug in a rug (or whatever the…
The weather seems to be transitioning, even here in Texas. In northern states people are wearing coats and boots! Fall is upon us, with winter soon to follow. If you think cooler temperatures means no more dresses on your business trips, think again! Dresses are perfect for transitional weather as they can be worn alone…
I leave soon for India, and I have spent a lot (A LOT) of time thinking about what to wear during transit. It takes 30 hours and four flights to get there, and I want to make sure that whatever I’m wearing is as comfortable as possible. However, I will be traveling with coworkers, so…

It’s Prime Day! Amazon has been promoting this big sale for weeks (months?) and the day is finally here. Last year Prime Day was kind of a disappointment, but so far I’m pretty happy with a lot of the deals this year. Remember that most of these are limited quantity and once the deal is…
Whether you’re traveling for work or fun, reading can be a great way to spend your time in transit. These days the only time I have to read is during travel, so I’ve taken to foregoing the TV (even Property Brothers, my fave) and instead losing myself in a story. My reading list has been…
Heat and humidity. Trademarks of summer in much of the country, and right now in Texas it is boiling. An 18-hour travel/work day, with vigorous airport walking, can lead to plenty of irritation in sensitive spots. And if you have to walk, or <shudder> exercise outdoors? Major discomfort awaits. Here are the different tools in…
