How to travel in style

The Toronto Film Festival is happening in the city right now. Every year, stars descend on the city to promote their latest  films and it truly is kinda exciting, even just to watch on TV.  Of course, they are only here for a limited time, and most of that is probably spent wrestling with the customs officers. Kidding...I lurv them customs officers...Anyhoo, watching them arrive and depart on TV has inspired me to do  this travel-inspired post.

Admittedly, being a mom of three young kids, I have not travelled on air recently. I am not brave enough.

My only criteria, I guess, would be comfort... unless you have paparazzi following you all the time. Then, you really do have to wear those 5-inch heels and tight-fitting dresses a la Victoria Beckham. On that note, here are some images of what I find inspiring when it comes to traveling in style...for us ordinary folks...

The fondest memory I have of traveling was going to Europe in 1999 with my two sisters.  Here are some pics from that trip. Please don't laugh.

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

The latest item I finished knitting: the Waiting For Rain shawl:) Love how this turned out, you guys:) The yarn was really lovely to work with (Kaleidoscope) and the pattern was easy to follow. Now that it's getting colder again, a knitted shawl is always handy to have:D It's just the right length, and it sits nicely on the shoulders.

I know a lot of people don't like wearing leggings as pants. I'm not one of those people. (I do have a rule that the top has to be long enough to cover your butt. Otherwise, I don't know what you're trying to advertise....you know what I'm saying?) old sweater from Hot Topic and leggings from Aritzia, Vans slip ons Are you a leggings fan?
