Having been working diligently for W+W for less than a year, I hadn’t yet had the opportunity to actually travel with my First Class Travel Wrap until this past week. I put my black cashmere wrap to the ultimate test in 3 cities- from NYC office to San Francisco business trip to Vegas wedding. I already know it’s a great item, but I was still amazed at how perfectly it stood up to the task.

Starting off on a cold day in New York, the big swath of supersoft cashmere stood in for a coat on 3 subways and the Airtrain to get to the airport. Having resolved to wear the absolute most comfortable plane outfit, my wrap topped off a Skimmer Tank Dress worn with cropped leggings and Sleek Adidas sneakers. Of course it was wonderful on the chilly plane, but that was a given- though I hadn’t realized that it’s actually big enough to work as a blanket and a pillow at once.The wrap was the perfect outer layer on a crisp day in San Francisco. Skinny black J Brands and a belted white Beau Cardi with the new Phillip Lim for Tatami sandals (thankfully it was just warm enough) for casual business meeting. As the fog rolled in and the air itself seemed to coalesce into drizzly mist, I didn’t have to worry about it getting damp (since it’s a naturally fast-drying fiber that doesn’t mind water).

On to Vegas, where a wrap was utterly necessary in casino cir-conditioning. Since I was there for a wedding, the wrap was perfect as a shawl with my vintage strapless ombre silk dress and Chloe black patent sandals (with black opaques of course).

By the time I was on the plane back to NY, the wrap was like an old friend and trusty traveling companion. Now it’s taken up residence at my desk to combat the office air chill.

I met Susan and Barbara about a year ago and am absolutely thrilled by the green that’s growing at White + Warren. The fall line is going to make all the eco-fashionistas so happy – stunning undyed cashmere and hemp bags. W+W’s growing commitment to using resources wisely while making the world beautiful can’t be underestimated. Plus it goes beyond what you put on to also consider how it got to you. Barbara works closely with their factories in Hong Kong and they are really looking at how their supply chain is managed. And I think that’s where this whole movement is going – to consider the style and consider the source.

Thanks for being such leaders!

I have to share with you all. I just ordered my first pair of travel slippers for a trip to Turks and Caicos.

When we got on the second plane in six hours (flight issues), I pulled the silk pouch out of my bag and put on my charcoal cashmere slippers and… wow, my feet feel so good. I feel like a queen. Everyone should experience these wonderful little bits of indulgence. I mean truly, they are the best!

I might wear them straight to Parrot Cay. After all, there is a mother and daughter duo in LA that shops in Fred Segal, they have them in every color and wear them around town. Now I understand!

We always dreamed of winning a beauty contest. We just didn’t think we’d have to grow up and build a website to do it! We’re so proud and honored here at White + Warren to have been listed among the top most beautiful ecommerce sites.
