"At least his suitcases were as good as mine." –Holden Caulfield, The Catcher in the Rye

I am subscribed to tons and tons of email newsletters and RSS feeds. Luckily, Mac's Mail client lets me have more than one account, so its easy to distinguish my real emails from my newsletters from my feeds. My newsletter from Juicy Couture features "monogrammed logo luggage for the Juicy jet-set." The newsletter also took me to this landing site! 

Check out this luggage that Juicy Couture has come out with!

LA Royalty Travel Carryon is $498 and the Thoroughbred Travel Tote is $228.

[passport covers]

Even if you are flying domestic, it always is helpful to bring your passport. I like having two forms of ID with me everywhere I go, just in case. These passport covers by Royce Leather are fun and colorful, and protect your passport. They are also cheap, only $22.99.

In my online shopping search, I came across more awesome passport holders. This beautiful passport holder by crystal-empire Swarvoski has calfskin leather, authentic Swarvoski crystals, and anelegant gun metal color. Find the passport holder here for $160.

I also fell in love with the passport cover by Tiffany & Co. It is $100 and made in their signature color of Tiffany Blue®.

   The Epi Leather Cards Holders Pass by Louis Vuitton goes for £175.00 (or $262.11) and, frankly, looks good.

[dual time zone watches]

A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure. -Segal's Law

Most of my traveling has been done in Eastern Standard Time, but it is always fun to think about the different time zones. A dual time zone watch is an awesome accessory that displays two different times.

I was lucky enough to get this beautiful dual time zone watch for Christmas from my aunt! It is by Skagen, a company from Denmark. The watch features stainless steel, and I love the Mother-of-Pearl dial. (I have mine set for New York and Paris time)

There are also other lovely watches that show dual times. I love this pink Signature Small Dual-Time Watch by Philip Stein. Stainless steel, frosted leather strap, and a tag of $595 make this watch TDF.

The most desired luggage pieces and handbags..
If you have the cash, go for it and grab one at your closest LV.
If not... Try looking for Louis luggage on eBay as a second option. Buying on eBay its own science/art/strategy. Six years and 256 positive feedback points later, it is safe to say that caution when shopping on eBay is key. I got lucky and scored an authentic Keepall.. but of course if you are looking for an authentic Louis Vuitton luggage (or handbag), make sure you can tell the reals from the fakes.
