Whenever I’m traveling, especially by airplane, I always have a huge problem with packing. I always pack way too much and I can never decide what I want to put in my carryon. Not to mention, the restrictions these days for carryon items is so difficult. One purse or lap top bag and a carryon bag which can’t have A to Z in it.

It’s always been a mission of mine to find a purse that’s big enough to also fit my lap top in it so I don’t have issues with the TSA. Of course it’s impossible and I end up having to stuff my laptop in my carry on bag, which takes away room from my shoes and purses. Every fashionista’s nightmare right?

When I came across the One Language “City Tote”, i thought it was a brilliant idea.

Recently spotted, she was all smiles while heading home with her bubbly-dot retro travel companion.

I believe that a good gym bag is as essential as an everyday go-to day bag.

Spacious is a must. It has to be big enough to carry the must-haves, like at least a water bottle, your shoes, clothes, and an iPod (in a separate compartment of course). And I don’t know about you, but the color is really important as well. I tent to drift towards the grey palette (above are my picks). I usually wear some color when I’m working out – it brights up my mood, I guess. So a monochromatic usually works best for me, just matches everything. Although, ask me next week and I could be all about the bright.

Does anyone remember the Juicy Couture Sunrise Tote that I wrote about back in March? After what seemed like the longest winter on record, I was ready to start thinking about beach totes. I mean, what better way to get yourself revved up for those warm and sunny months? Now I’m not saying that my feelings have changed about the Juicy Couture Sunrise Tote. It is still a really cute bag! But I recently came across this newer bag from Juicy Couture called the Coastal Butterfly Tote and… oh… my… gosh! What an adorable bag! I am in love with the vertical, pink and white striping. I could totally see myself sporting this bag at the beach for Memorial Day weekend. I also love the large butterfly graphic adorning the front side of this bag.

You know what sounds really nice right now? A romantic weekend getaway! Of course, this picture-perfect trip would not be complete without a picture-perfect travel bag. Personally, I like a classic duffel style. That’s why I really like this Kate Moss for Longchamp Gloucester Weekender Travel Bag. That’s right! The iconic face behind the Longchamp name now has her very own collection! These bags really capture the essence of Kate’s day-to-day look. Inspired by vintage luggage, the Gloucester Weekender Travel Bag is effortlessly timeless. I really like the look and feel of this bag — carefree, yet stylish.

My favorite part about this bag, however, is the unexpected surprise inside! Simply open it up to reveal a fun, zebra-print lining! And, as an added bonus, this bag also comes with a matching zebra-print scarf! So if you’re looking for a classic travel bag, I would definitely suggest giving this gorgeous piece a second look. But if the simple beauty of this bag doesn’t convince you, perhaps its utilitarian design will.

The thought of a pen exploding inside of a designer purse is squirming, let alone getting ink or some kind of paint substance on the exterior of your bag. That’s why the majority of us bagista’s are quite cautious when taking our bags for the day and would avoid any harsh stains to the best ability. For once, a splatter of ink on a handbag never looked so good; meet the Bayswater ink-print leather bag by Mulberry.
