It’s so exciting to get on a plane to embark on a journey to a new destination. But even more exciting than that is boarding a foreign airline. That really gets me jazzed. This time, I was flying Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) from Newark (EWR) to Copenhagen (CPH). Read more…

We may be sweltering under the hot summer sun right now but designers everywhere have long since revealed their fabulous fall collections. My boyfriend recently gave me a Longchamp bag – a lilac tote that’s perfect for weekend getaways and conveniently folds up to a pocket-sized pouch, making it perfectly portable.
