Travel Accessories

I was browsing through Kickstarter and came across a travel backpack with so many features, it’s almost overwhelming. Normally, I don’t like products with this many features.  For example, Kickstarter had a moleskin notebook that also had a ruler, a built in USB drive, a section where you can display ...

My sister just sent me this Kickstarter for a suitcase with a note that it sounded like something I’d like.  Not only do I like it, I think it is pretty darn amazing for its price point. I’ve seen suitcases before with cool features, but rarely in the $200-ish range, ...

I’m the type of shopper who doesn’t care about seasons.  I love classic looks, and I like buying pieces that will last me for years and years. Not everyone feels that way, so their loss is my gain. Of course, you can never guess when the perfect item will end ...

Last week, I wrote on about the travel items I always pack for a trip.  In addition to these travel essentials, I have some items that never leave my bag. When packing for a trip, I always seemed to forget something essential, so I started buying  a travel set of everything ...

My former roommate went backpacking through Europe with her best friend a few years ago.  Backpacking and hopping from hostel to hostel is a great experience, but they ran into a common experience–while they slept, one of them was robbed by their co-hostel-mates. They never found out who it was, ...

I’ve always been on the lookout for comfy footwear.  While I’ve found some comfortable shoe brands, one has really stood out–the good news is, it’s also the cheapest out of all the brands I’ve tried. While I’ll talk about that one first, the runner-ups will follow.  All of these are ...

Maybe I spoke too quickly when I called BlackMilk my favorite nerd-dress company.  (Just kidding BlackMilk, I love you!) Just in time for May the Fourth (hope to see you there), Hot Topic has released a Star Wars line of dresses and other clothing, Star Wars:The Force Awakens By Her Universe ...
