A weightless travel companion to get you from gate to gate, the Stow Away Bag is a vacationer’s dream come true.

8 Reasons Why We Love It

1. It fully supports weekend getaways and extended trips.
2. Each bag is featherweight coming in at less than 1 lb and skidding past overweight baggage fees.
3. Equipped with a matching carrying case to fold away when not in use, we get an A+ in the house guest tidiness category.
4. Water resistance rids of our damaged luggage woes.
5. The bold colors satisfy the trendsetter within.
6. It keeps our laptops looking young.
7. We can take our Stow literally anywhere from camping to the gym to the beach.
8. Donations from each purchase benefit the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation making us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Rising in trend, floral isn’t necessarily associated with delicacy anymore. Go for a chunky rose ringlined with tons of shimmer action, and no need to worry about additional tie-ins. A one accessory minimum is all that’s needed.

Zipper chicness, adoring plum richness, and compartments galore to combat the organizer maniac within make this the frontrunner of handbag happiness. Available in black, army green and rustic cobalt, it’s hard to buy just one of Linea Pell’screations. Compacting life’s chaos in style, Pell’s golden exaggerations complement nicely drawing just the right dose of uptown attention.

A trade-off to the long necklace, Love Quotes scarvesare a toasty favorite to capture warmth and instantly jumpstart looks otherwise buried by the cold. Accompanied with inspirational quotes like Oscar Hammerstein’s “Our love is the greatest gift we can give one another,” these Italian linens run wild through the color wheel with choices like Espresso and Violet Frost. Seen around the necks of Hilary Duff, Christina Aguilera, Sienna Miller, Nicky Hilton, Jessica Alba and Lauren Conrad, each purchase donates 10% of proceeds to international children’s charities. Now that’s something to feel good about.
