Longchamp Balzane Roots Collection: Get In Touch with Your Roots
I can safely say I have never been in love with a Longchamp bag before. Of course, we all have at least one foldup Le Pliage for travel (and the shopping sprees that come with your trip), but we don’t carry it because we love it. It’s all function and no fun.
Lipault Paris Foldable 22″ Wheeled Carry On Bag: Packing Lust
For those of us with storage limitations (and that would be everyone – I live in the suburbs, and my closet is still bursting!), Lipault Paris’ foldable carry on is perfection in a bag.

Instead, show your mother how much you love her by showering … Continue reading “Because She’s Worth It: The Five Essentials for Mother’s Day”
T.T. Trunks Mademoiselle Trunk: Down to a T
I went to see End of the Rainbow recently, a musical about the months leading to the end of Judy Garland’s life. It stars Tracy Bennett, who was so spectacular I could not believe what I was watching.
