Friday's Fancies: Alba's Airport Inspiration

Friday is our favorite part of the week and not just because it's the kickoff to the weekend, but because it's Friday's Fancies time!! And this week the lovely {av} tasked us with recreating a certain outfit that we have been crushing on...meaning that we could add a little dash of HLNC-style and really make our "crush" our own. We found this recent photo of Jessica Alba at the airport looking fabulous and knew that this would be our outfit inspiration. Now let us just say that we don't walk the airport runways looking like Ms Alba, but this outfit serves as perfect motivation for us to step up our game while traveling (normally we are in yoga pants and cute sneakers). A few ways in which we remixed her outfit: a bolder printed scarf (we have a scarf addiction and would love to add this one to our collection), a large handbag that has a cross-body strap (a must-have), a smaller style fedora (we think ours is cuter) and really comfortable yet stylish wedges (no way in the world are we wearing heels on a plane). Just a few simple ways to amp up our airport ensembles. Hope you enjoy!

  13. I really like all of the changes you made. I always wear Uggs when I fly because I freeze and my feet swell. I also like yoga pants.
    I really love everything Jessica wears, she has an amazing eye.
