I am the queen of the tote bag, so I am always looking for the latest, greatest tote out there. This year’s pick? Kelly Corroon’s Big Daddy Tote, an ample leather tote in natural or camo leather that holds a ton and can be personalized with a chic hand painted monogram and stripe. Customization usually takes around 3-4 weeks.

Light and durable, the Rains Weekend Bag had a low key minimal design, is waterproof and fits stuff. If you haven’t seen this minimalist Danish brand yet, you will— it just opened a new shop on Lafayette and makes coats and bags in a matte waterproof material.

All together now! A Merino wool eye mask and blanket come in a cute case in a Madewell x Parachute travel collaboration. I really am into the pouch design, it is great to repurpose since a pouch is always useful.

On the go go go? Christina Bryant, my friend, founder and CEO of globally-sourced home goods brand St. Frank literally always is, so the fact that she added this embroidery factoid onto the corner of her cozy baby Alpaca throw is oh-so apropos!

It’s always nice to get off a plane and not have skin that feels like the Sahara desert. Rosewater is a good dry skin antidote and so is this little travel friendly set by Herbivore.

Lip gloss and hand sanitizer will no longer be floating around the bottom of your tote like gold fish. Corral small things in Clare V’s leather cosmetic case.

Does that big idea come to you when you are out and about? Sounds about right. To jot those critical thinking moments, Sloane Stationery has a pretty little lizard-embossed book so you can capture and seize upon your next big thing.

Play tunes or that podcast you are into (for me its NPR’s How I Built This with interviewer extraordinaire, Guy Roz) with Airfly. It connects wireless ear buds with airline headphone jacks and gym machines.

I’ve become obsessed with finding the best portable hot drink bottle for commuting. It has to look good, keep the drink hot for up to 6 hours and not weigh so much that you want to throw it out after you’ve consumed your tea. The solution? The Kinto Travel Tumbler. It checks all the boxes.
