Chic Airline Travel + London!

Tips for Chic Airline Travel - Beautiful travel products to make sure you arrive in style!It seems like I just got back from Australia a few minutes ago, but I’m off again on my next adventure! The amazing folks at Virgin Atlantic have invited me and a couple of my blogger girlfriends to a long weekend in London!

Side note: does anyone else count their safety video as one of their favorite music videos of all time? I’m so grateful that they’ve chosen me to be a part of this trip. Make sure you check out my Snapchat and Instagram accounts to follow along on our adventures!
