Summer Accessories

Love this necklace.  Love this look.  What do you think?

What to Pack? Oh, What to Pack?

This burning question vexes me about every 2 months. I stand in front of my closet and ponder the weather, the perfect work-to-night transition outfits and the most comfortable, yet stylish, plane outfit. I have, over the years, cut out and saved numerous articles from Conde Naste and Travel and Leisure on the perfect packing items. I've got some of it down to a science: pashminas, accessories, IPod, very small laptop, flats, compressed work out shoes, Bose headphones, white t-shirts, black travel pants, travel wallet. So, why oh why do I still search for the perfect packable items? Is it some mysterious malady that forces me to continue the search for the most packable, yet presentable, items in the universe?

Here again is another set of suggestions from Town and Country, one of my favorite travel mags.

In the meantime, I'll keep looking.

I Want it Now

Always loved these family bikes when I've seen them in the Netherlands. Could I pull it off on Capitol Hill?

Another Travel Bag

Okay, so how many travel bags does a girl need to shop for and purchase until she has the "perfect one?" Here's another possibility available from Graf and Lantz.

Feelin' Groovy

Sunglasses made out of wood? What is this world coming to? I stumbled across these groovy shades, ShWoods, today on Daily Candy. Perhaps something for your travel bag?

In Search of the Perfect Travel Bag

I have to admit I have my collection of travel bags -- a roomy leather shoulder bag I bought in Italy years ago, a dark blue patent leather and canvas bag I splurged on at Barney's Coop and the brown and white geometric design canvas bag with matching small purse I bought up in Mass visiting my BFF, Debra. This is in addition to all the small luggage my husband and I have amassed. BUT....I'm always in search of another. And these are patterns and fabrics are too great from Jane Marvel. Should I indulge? So tempting.

Getting Organized Again

I love these folders...they will help me get organized for house projects and my next bit of work-related travel. Check them out on http://www.seejanework.com/

In Search Of....

I'm always in search of the perfect travel gadget or accessory. I have the Bose sound-proofing head phones (love 'em), a warm light purple cashmere throw (I'm always cold on overseas flights) and lotions and potions in pint size containers stuffed into my travel bag. I also just bought a beautiful travel bag...to add to my collection, that it. Today, I found a website which seems to have my name written all over it. (http://www.flight001.com/) sells nifty gadgets, wallets and such....and even in-flight music CDS. Bon voyage!
