Travel Accessories

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 ...

I’ve got a Leatherman and I love it.  If I could, I’d keep it in my purse, but I travel so often I know I’d forget it.  And this Leatherman is precious to me for sentimental reasons too, so if I lost it, I’d be lost myself! I doubt TSA ...

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 ...

BlackMilk is my favorite Geek-clothing website.  I’ve spent a little too much money on outfits there. That’s my Space Invader dress. Usually with Black Milk, I have to be quick because they run out of dresses in their US store pretty quickly.  But they just merged their Australian store with ...
