Icebreaker Bliss Wrap c/o NatureShop

Holiday time = travel!

We've all got the outfits planned for the destination, but what to wear for the hours stuck in that airplane seat getting there...

The balance of comfort and style is such a tricky one!

BUT I have found a the perfect piece...

the Icebreaker Bliss Wrap from NatureShop.  

This is a high quality garment that looks beautiful on, and looking a little smart is no doubt the key to score an upgrade.  Being 100% lightweight merino wool this wrap doesn't crease, is highly breathable, regulates temperature annnnd doesn't smell- a bonus if you are going to be wearing this for a solid 24 hours (or more).   I have other pieces from the Icebreaker range (see my review HERE), as do friends of mine and the word is you can wear them solidly for a month and STILL no smell- it's seriously impressive stuff. 

This wrap is so warm, cosy and comfortable.  It has a front button and a sash allowing it to be worn open, buttoned or tied.  These THREE ways, as seen on me above, enable it to move easily from a cosy blanket for the flight to a really lovely piece that is perfect to continue wearing throughout your travels.  I might add it has handy big pockets too.

So what about the rest of the outfit you say... here are my tips to be jet-set ready:

• Jeggings or leggings to maintain the comfort factor, stretchy and nonrestrictive is the idea.
• Add a singlet and oversize cotton tee (layers to take on and off will give you more options).
• Wear a scarf instead of jewellery to add a bit of interest to your look without setting of those metal detectors, and a little extra warmth if needed.
• Dark colours probably won't go astray either, just in case you upend your coffee... (or that could just be me, the most clumsy person ever!)
• Comfy flats are key, don't forget your feet might well up a bit (mine do!) so cramming those babies into heels at the end of the flight is never going to work.
• And a cosy pair of socks is nice to have for during the flight (NatureShop have a great range which are of course 100% wool.)
• For the hair, try a messy bun and dry shampoo will be your best friend for a non-greasy do at the end of the trip.
• Don't forget the sunnies to hide those tired travel eyes!

I should add that the NatureShop are proud to be carbon neutral and they have FREE delivery and returns, plus a whopping 365 day return policy.  NatureShop are also committed to growing their charitable donations program and support a number of charities.
