Apr 23rd, 2012 at 9:00AM: Capri length cargo pants are a must pack for every trip I take in the shoulder seasons – spring and fall. I like lots of pockets. I like having something that's lighter than a pair of jeans but is not a pair of shorts. I like being comfortable and casual without looking like I'm in my jammies. And I like the length, as my travel wardrobe leans towards the modest side for most destinations.

Feb 21st, 2012 at 9:00AM: I've posted before about my search for clothes that I can wear on the plane without looking like I've just fallen out of bed or come from yoga class. Don't get me wrong, I don't care what you wear on the plane, and I will not give you crap if you show up in seat 17F in your flannels with the penguins on them.
I'm trying to dress like the kind of human who might get an upgrade if she asks, ...6 ways to crash New York Fashion Week

Jan 24th, 2012 at 9:00AM: Seattle was recently choked by the kind of snowstorm that we're not supposed to get. It was followed by an ice storm, something I've never had the joy and/or terror to experience. It was also great gear testing weather. I unpacked my snow gear and the big parka, the long underwear, and wrapped my hands and head in SmartWool's "Snowflake Pop" knits.
I like hats with earflaps because well, they ...More Istanbul shopping and dining secrets from Daily Secret

Happy shopping ...Gadling Gear Review: Insulated fleece jacket from LL Bean
Jan 13th, 2012 at 10:00AM: Let's set aside the jokes around polar fleece as the uniform for us Pacific North-Westerners. First of all, I can take it and secondly, dude, polar fleece works. And really, it's getting better, the fabrics are getting softer and hold up longer and wash better. Even while I'm developing a preference for natural fibers, I'm finding myself pawing the new polar fleece performance clothing and ...Gadling gear review: Mountain Hardwear Jovian Jacket
Dec 12th, 2011 at 8:00AM: The line between a once in a lifetime adventure, and a miserable trip that can't be over fast enough, is a fine one. There is nothing worse than finally visiting your dream destination, only to have inclement weather ruin the experience. The right gear can make all the difference in those situations however, turning a potential disaster into an amazing outing. Mountain Hardwear is one company that ...Gift Guide for Warm Weather Adventurers
Nov 29th, 2011 at 8:00AM: As December approaches and the holiday season draws near, those warm summer days that we enjoyed just a few months back are already a distant memory. But no matter what the calendar says, I guarantee the adventurer on your shopping list is already plotting his or her next warm weather escape. Considering summer really is just a short plane ride away, here are some suggestions for what to buy them ...Pack a Sports Bra, Already
Nov 27th, 2011 at 9:00AM: If you're looking for something slightly saucy, sorry, there's nothing sexy about what I'm about to write here. It's just a bunch of practical advice for traveling women with a bit of, uh, bounce. See, I did some off road travel recently and the one item I regretted not throwing in the overnight bag? A sports bra.
Runners know the value of a good sports bra, most outdoor adventurers know this, ...Knocked up abroad: international travel with a baby

Sep 19th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Wrinkles are for Shar Peis and old people. They have no place on your clothing. If you show up to a meeting, formal function or even just a casual date looking like you slept in your clothes, people will think that you're homeless. Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, we steam the clothes that we're wearing every hour. It keeps us looking fresh and professional throughout the day (and does wonders ...Gadling gear review: Polarmax AYG (All Year Gear)
Sep 5th, 2011 at 10:00AM: When packing for an active trip, we often put a lot of consideration into the clothes we bring along with us. If we're headed to a cold weather destination for example, we bring quality base layers, fleeces, and of course a good shell. If we're setting out for a hot climate, its lightweight, breathable apparel that we put in our bags. One piece of clothing that we don't always put much thought ...New Mid-Layers from Triple Aught Design
Aug 23rd, 2011 at 4:00PM: Can you have too much polar fleece? I'm struggling with the answer to that question as I eye the gear that's coming out for fall. I've got a lot of it, some of it quite old, as it seems to last longer than I expected it too. Even while I'm switching out a lot of my wardrobe for natural fibers, I'm looking at new polar fleece mid-layers with much better design than my old stuff.
I've been trying ...Packing for a Camping Safari: What's in My Bag?
Aug 23rd, 2011 at 2:00PM: 600 dollars for vaccinations, that's what I spent in preparation for an upcoming trip to Tanzania. A pile. Still, it's better than the alternative: getting a near fatal or certainly trip ruining illness. Now that the sticker shock has eased and I've got full use of my arm again, I've turned to gathering my belongings for an upcoming safari trip.
Here's a round up of what's in my bag.
A ...SkyMall Monday: Magic Derriere Enhancing Panty vs. Clothing Shields
Aug 8th, 2011 at 1:00PM:
We all have our own body issues. For some, they wish they were thinner. For others, acne causes constant embarrassment. However, two issues stand out as the most traumatizing: small butts and excessive sweating. Flat-butted women have long suffered from Droopy Pants Complex, an affliction that has flummoxed scientists for minutes. Women who sweat are forced to hide their armpits under ...National Geographic to launch new clothing line
Aug 5th, 2011 at 8:00AM: National Geographic announced yesterday that it is getting into the clothing business. The famous organization says that it will produce a new line of "explorer inspired" apparel that will hit store shelves across North America later this year.
Nat Geo has partnered with apparel manufacturer Greater Clothing Company to bring two styles of clothing to market. The "Rugged Series" is designed for ...Traveling Pants from Ex Officio
Jul 12th, 2011 at 10:00AM: I get that folks think they're practical or that they take up less space in the bag, but whenever I see someone wearing those pants with the zip off legs so they convert into shorts, I think, "Really? Are you so tight with space that you can't find room for pants AND shorts?"
This is not the fault of Ex Officio, it's just that my not very high bar for fashion rests at the convertible ...Seven Days in a SmartWool Sweater
Jul 5th, 2011 at 10:00AM: Here's the thing: When I review gear, I actually use the stuff, I don't just scribble a few words about how fluffy it is out of the box, and how the tag says it's good in all kinds of weather or water resistant or... Nope, I trim the tags, throw everything that's wearable into the wash (and sometimes, in complete disregard of the instructions, the dryer). And then, I go out into the world in pants ...Apoc Neoshell Jacket from Westcomb
Jun 28th, 2011 at 2:00PM: At the intersection of breath ability, waterproofing, and lightweight material lies the holy grail of outer wear. It's the quest for that fabric that brought us Gore-Tex and Triple Point Ceramic and any number of branded fabric names.
Now there's NeoShell by Polartec, a breathable waterproof fabric that claims to be "100% more breathable than the best waterproof breathable on the market in ...
