When my trekking backpack won’t do, and my ski backpack probably would—it’s done week-long trips in Hawaii and Morocco, after all—my upcoming two-week trip through Europe seems like a great excuse for a new travel backpack. Here are a few I’m eyeing … Adult Backpacking Backpacks Shop packs at this link (NOT affiliate links). Extras:…
Just before my last-minute ski trip last weekend, I read this article about how Athleta’s CMO travels with only a shoulder bag. Um, yes. So inspired, for my Friday night-Monday morning trip I packed only my ski bag and a shoulder bag. The shoulder bag*, similar to this Sak shopper (just a different pattern), held:…
My family has gotten into a wonderfully fun tradition the last couple of years where we go Christmas shopping together, after Christmas. All four us! It’s loads of fun as we team up at Last Call and Nordstrom Rack, so both the boys and girls can have a wide selection. We’ll also usually stop at…

Boring boring new skinny jeans who hasn’t launched those? I thought at first. BUT HOLY COW the skinny jeans are the holy grail of skinny jeans. You know…
I am crying with laughter at this new company I just discovered (ok, discovered isn’t exactly right, as the not-unattractive founder emailed* me … so here we are).

A few years ago I implemented a strict one-in, one-out policy for clothes-buying. It was successful, but I constantly wish I would pare down more: I have a few pieces I love, love, love, and I wear them ALL THE TIME. Why bother keeping the rest? Because I might, maybe, possibly want to wear them…
I kind of don’t want to tell anyone this secret. Because for 6 months I’ve essentially been wearing sweats to work, and I don’t really want anyone to know that. Because right now NO ONE KNOWS. So these pants are all the damn rave. Take $15 off your order of $75+ at betabrand.com. I bought…
