The Designers

In its second year, Global Runway featured four U.S. retail brands: Spanx, ExOfficio, Brooks Brothers and Sean John, which is celebrating their 20^th anniversary. Also bridging the gap between beauty and style, the event highlighted national brands MAC Cosmetics, Michael Kors, Bijoux Terner andXpresSpa via a pop-up shop.

The Mission

“Each year, ATL serves over 103 million passengers, and many of them are unaware of our award-winning concessions program,” said Airport Concessions Marketing Manager Pamela Simmons. “In addition to being a global transportation hub, ATL is also a hub for quality global brands and Global Runway is designed to showcase these brands and raise the awareness of all that the world’s busiest airport has to offer.”

All in all this event was beautifully planned with the who’s who of Atlanta and we were glad to be a part of it! Thank you to Angela Watts at 10 Squared PR for the invitation!

Your Chick,

This Airport Outfit is Giving Us All the Feels…

March 14, 2017

Spring break isn’t only for college students! March is the perfect time to catch a short flight to trade in the snow for some sun. Winter blues deplete your energy making it difficult to stay focused. Making a quick getaway is the perfect way to get re-energized and refocused.

A great way to ensure you make the most of your time away is to pack efficiently. Avoid bulky items like coats and boots and opt for a carry on bag so you’re in and out of the airport quickly.

Here are some inexpensive transitional pieces to take you from the bitter cold to the sunny rays of.. the Caribbean?:

This duster is major goals! It’s chic and feminine and a great space saver. It’s just warm enough for the flight, and not as bulky as a winter coat.

Pair your duster with a sleeveless turtleneck sweater. This design was made for travel!

Don’t miss out on the ’STRIDE’ shoe. It’s the ultimate casual heel – comfortable enough to take you from the airport to your hotel and back again. It doesn’t hurt to show off your polished toes either.

Leave the tote at home and opt for a cute backpack. It’s a trendy accessory and the weight is balanced on both shoulders so you can explore longer.

Lastly, mix in a little sporty to keep it fun and casual – all you need is a cap. It’ll keep your head warm in the cold and keep your face protected in the sun.

This whole outfit is so affordable and cute with versatile pieces that you can use over and over again during your trip! Be sure to share your travel staples with us on Facebook!

Safe travels!

Your Trendy Chick,
