Friday Bargain Bin: Come Fly With Me
Kensie Wrap Cardigan, $22.49 (was $88)
Airports and planes are freezing. Get a fun sweater that doubles as a blanket.
I’m flying today, y’all. I hate that! I hate it — because of all the dying and how sometimes the dying takes forever when your plane tumbles out of the sky for a full three and a half minutes Iamnotmakingthisup. So, I try really hard to make my air travel experience luxurious. That means Valium of course, but then also all of this other stuff that helps me feel better. Maybe it’ll work for you too? And some of it is even on sale.
Dream Essential Contour Eye Mask, $19.95
There are cheaper versions of this I’m sure, but this is the one I have and it’s rad. There are giant pockets to fit all of your lashes and not ever smudge your makeup while you nap. Dream come true.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir, $16
The most refreshing, fancy, jet-setting lady product I own. Spray it on your face and neck to feel and smell all wealthy and reinvigorated during stinky long flights. I wish there were some reason to spray it directly into my mouth?
Three Dots Camisole with Shelf Bra, $29 (was $58)
Wear this with plain black leggings and you practically disappear except for your bright red and swollen crying, drunk face.
Sweet & Salty Trail Mix, $16.60 for a 24 pack! (was $19.99)
A life saver on long, or heck, even short flights. Nuts/rasins/M&Ms is the best trail mix combo, by the way. (Katie?) That way if you want nuts, you got nuts. If you want raisins, you got raisins. If you want chocolate? You got chocolate! Who ever “wants” dried bananas and raw sunflower seeds?
Guess Over the Knee Boots, $87.20 (were $109)
Yes, I do literally wear these to the airport over my leggings and with that cami and the sweater and some huge sunglasses (to hide the panic face). They’re too heavy to pack but are the perfect winter going-out shoe, so I take them off the minute I find my seat, put on some OTK socks, and pull these on over my leggings:
Figleaves 100% Ca$hmere Lounge Pants, $132 (were $165)
They are expensive, but these pants are, well, I was gonna say a one time purchase, but I’m on my third pair. That’s been over the course of six years, though! And I got two at Barney’s warehouse sale, so… Anyway, I wear the hell out of these pants, you guys. And by hell I mean ass. They are incredible.
Big K.R.I.T, K.R.I.T. Wuz Here mixtape
This kid is hilarious most of the time, and super sincere the rest. He makes me feel better. The song above is my “GET AMPED, JANE! YOU CAN DO THIS!” anthem.
L’Occitane Verbena Towlettes, $9
For your hands and pits, and I even use them on my face sometimes. Plus, they don’t count as a liquid!
EpresSpa Neck Pillow, $15.99
This is the right pillow to invest in, not just because it’s the most substantial one you’ll find: ExpresSpas are in many airports in case you need to buy a cheap replacement cover after your seat mate sneezes, or worse, all over yours.
The MENSA Genius Quiz-a-Day Book, $10.36 (was $12.95)
This, a pen, and a Star magazine must be accessible at all times in the seat back pocket in front of me or SIGTHMDWIHAPA.
