Have Passport, Traveling Local...

I'm sure you all are thinking by now, "how many bags does this chica have?"- since we are not in a confessional booth, I will not be coming clean anytime soon.

Weekends rarely last long enough and since we only have 52 of them each year, this will help you justify dropping some coin for your getaway with the girls, boyfriend or man-friend, family, or hubby. My dear friend, Diane, gave me some good advice, "keep a bag packed in your car just in case you stay over AND make sure you bring your pretty undies too".

Its time to upgrade that gym bag or corporate logo'd bag you picked up during that last tradeshow to something that would make you want to hit the road...or the visits to your in-laws somewhat bearable. May you always be chic in your travels.
