Road Trip!

{ Via: Vogue }

There's nothing better than a road trip. "Mr. Shop This" and I have done our share. I hope that we have a few more in our future. It does take a bit of preparation like, getting the tires checked, the oil topped off, and a good pair of jumper cables. Beyond the basics, this roundup of roadie "must haves" will make any Thelma and Louise moment memorable.

HERE: 16  Road Trip Necessities

Summer Is In The Bag

Packing Pretty: Perfect Travel Companions

(Via Ooh La Frou Frou)

Oh Summer! It's getaway time for many, like my own friends and family. Mollie and Shirlee are preparing for Paris, Barb just landed in Carmel, Sara will soon be shopping Fifth Avenue, and Meg is doing Denver. And me? Well, everyday is an adventure here on the blog.  And if I do say so myself, I know a little something about packing pretty. What I know for sure, is there is no first class treatment, unless you look like you know what to do with it.  So before you take flight or hit the road this Summer, shop these travel companions. Don't worry, many of these pretty pieces are first class worthy at coach prices. That's how I roll.
