Cute Carry-ons

By -
When I travel, I like to take the max size carry-on bag. I stuff it with toiletries, spare underwear, a few changes of clothes, and anything else I may need in case of a long layover or lost luggage. With a trip to Japan coming up in August, I have a few things to think about in the suitcase department.

Thankfully, one of our readers already thought some of this through. She's looking for a suitcase that won't be a hassle to take on the plane but can also stand the abuse of being checked in. It needs to be able to hold several days worth of stuff. She'd also like a pocket on the outside, something I can take or leave depending on the purse situation. On top of all that, it needs to stand out. If you've ever stood at the carousel waiting for your bag, fighting with your mother over which black bag is yours, you know exactly why.Top: teal faux croc rolling suitcase, Kathy Van Zeeland on Luggage.com $101.99

"You Can Wear It Again"

By -

One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts. My roommate (on the right) actually wore the top until the zipper died, so maybe I wasn't quite as delusional at these other brides.

The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends. I plan to cover the pictures in snarky post-it notes and pass it to becca (who will not make me wear satin polka dots and a floppy hat) to do the same. When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.

Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…
