Gayle on: Traveling Tricks of the Trade

our fashion director, Gayle, travels constantly for our Style Guide shoots, so it’s no wonder

she’s perfected an impressive regimen to look (and feel) her best while she’s on the go.

here’s what tops her list of rejuvenating must-haves, for both on and off the plane.

BREATH OF FRESH AIR

“My handbag isn’t complete without a tin of refreshing mints. I have a mint as soon as we hit the runway (and I keep them handy at 35,000 feet in the air too).”

SNOOZEFEST

“Since I usually have to hit the ground running as soon as we land, I always bring along an eye mask and earplugs on overnight flights so I can be sure to get some shut-eye.”

IN-FLIGHT BEAUTY

“I love practical products that do double duty, like Benetint—it’s a lip and cheek stain in one, and it’s the perfect pick-me-up after a long flight.”

SOMETHING THAT SOOTHES

“I can’t leave the house without packing my own travel-size electric tea kettle… I’m such a creature of comfort, so brewing my favorite chai tea at the hotel makes me feel more at home.”

WATER WORKS

“It’s so important to stay hydrated while you travel. I have to buy a huge bottle of water before I board—and it does wonders for my skin too.”
