One of the highlights of the summer season is undoubtedly the Summer Getaway, be it a weekend spent at a lakehouse or on a beach, or weeks spent adventuring in new and unfamiliar places. I have a few trips planned myself: a girls weekend in Whistler, another trip that I'm sworn to secrecy about but it's blog-related and you'll know what I'm talking about when I'm allowed to talk about it (building hype!) and of course, my quickly-approaching education relocation to the US of A.
Since
my trip to Hawaii in January, I've been doing a lot of thinking about convenient and stylish travel, mostly because I had the unfortunate realization at the baggage claim that basically every person on my flight had the same luggage. I had a bright red luggage set, so I figured it would stand out, but alas, so did everyone else -- it honestly could've been an SNL skit, it was so uncanny. Since then, I've acquired a new luggage set courtesy of
Heys Canada (pictured below), and haven't had that problem since, and I've found a few more of their products that I think could really convenience the way you travel.
Cosmopolitan Cosmetic Case ($39.97) - The shape of this cosmetic case is great and it reminds me of the 50s and
60s, when women actually dressed up to travel. I usually travel in
drop crotch pants and an over-sized boyfriend sweater, so I need to work
on this too, but I still always encourage traveling in style!
Neoprene Laptop Case ($29.97) - This sleeve not only protects your laptop from the rest of whats in your
carry-on, but the handles allow extra convenience in case you want to
carry it separately. It also has extra pockets for your accessories, and
is available in a ton of colours and prints.
Hybrid Rose Luggage ($454.97) - I have this luggage set and I love it! Floral prints are a huge trend
right now, but what's great about this print is that it's not over the
top or obnoxious -- you can buy it now, and use it forever.
Parisian Luggage Set ($449.97) - I'm a big fan of buying luggage that's a little bit unexpected -- you
never have to worry about another traveler grabbing your luggage at the
baggage claim!
Heys has so many options
with printed, graphic, and boldy coloured pieces. Aside from my floral
luggage set, this Parisian print is my favourite.
Hanging Jewelry Bag ($29.97) - Packing jewelry and accessories is the bane of my existence, so I think
this bag is genius. Not only does it organize your jewelry, display it
nicely for you, and make packing it much easier, but you don't have to
worry about it getting scratched or damaged, or worst of all, tangled.
Happy Travels!
