One woman that I know who is always on the move is Gina Schreck. Gina and I have been friends for about 7 years now and she is one of the most stylish women that I know. I caught up with her recently to get answers on how she continues to stay stylish while on the move. Here is what she has to say.
I am ALWAYS on the move! Whether flying to Bahrain to speak at a conference, Denver to attend a blogging workshop, or holding conference calls while driving to pick up my dogs from “doggy day care,” (Yes, I’ve turned into a crazy dog lady here in the city!) I rarely have the time to just sit in one place.
I feel that professional image and personal branding is critical in my marketing business, so I ALWAYS want to stay stylish and look my best while on the run and packing as much into a day as I can.
What are your favorite shoes to be on your feet all day long?
When I travel I go against all logical advice when it comes to shoes. I want my shoes to be FABULOUS and make a statement. You never know where that next client is sitting and my shoes will start conversations before I do.
I don’t have just one pair of travel shoes but lately my favorites are either my Louboutin Malabar Hills, or my Stuart Weitzman Candy Apple Red, Power Pumps (which I call my running shoes –they are that comfortable and yes, I have run in them through the airport).

What is your travel outfit?
My favorite travel outfit is a pair of black skinny jeans with a comfortable long blouse or sweater and big chunky jewelry (TSA and I are best friends!). My theory is if my luggage is lost for 24 hours or longer, I can go to any meeting in what I travel in, and if I don’t get my bag in 24 hours, I get to go shopping!
How do you keep your clothes looking crisp and fresh while traveling?
My trick for keeping my clothes looking crisp and fresh while traveling is to put the drycleaner bags over your clothes before packing. The plastic keeps your clothes from becoming a wrinkled mess.
Favorite skin products or tricks?
My trick for keeping a fresh looking face after a long day on the road is my HOT MAMA blush and highlighter by TheBalm! I brush it on my eyelids, cheeks and nose for a “oh I just woke up and look this fresh and glowing” look! HA.
What is your #1 must have travel item?
The two things I never leave home without are my phone and my LG Tone Infinium Bluetooth Headset and of course my Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone! I would miss a flight and go back home to get these if I forgot them. The headset is sleek and comfortable to wear all day and I can make and take calls hands free as well as catch up on my favorite podcasts or audio book while on a plane or in the gym! My phone is used more than anything else I own and I think it knows more about me than my family!
What’s in your bag?
My purse is an abyss! I have everything from my Macbook Air, my lipstick bag, the all-important Mophie Juice Pack PowerStation (a fabulous back up phone charger that will power up 3 devices when you most need it) to a three outlet adapter to “share” that one open outlet at the airport!
