A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Where are you headed on vacation this summer???

Wherever you are going it is always important to have a great and durable suitcase or bag to carry your clothing and accessories. I don't know how many times in the past things in my suitcase have gotten ruined because I used cheap, badly made and broken suitcases!

Never again because I now have an awesome overnight bag from Hedgren. Hedgren is a popular European bag company that is now available in the U.S. They have a variety of fabulous totes,
colorful handbags, backpacks, laptop/tech bags and travel gear.

Hedgren bags come in a variety of stylish designs and are incredibly functional. They are made of a signature nylon material that comes in different colors and styles so they are easy to wipe down and keep clean.

I received the Capital Trolley bag and it especially perfect for my husband's frequent overnight business trips and perfect as a carry on!

The Capital is a handy overnight trolley with durable structure & organizational features. It has 2 separate compartments, fits a 15" laptop, A4 sized documents, had plenty of pockets to store pens, cards and your phone and it has a removable toilet bag.

It also features:

• Top zip closure
• Double handles and adjustable luggage handle with a 23.5" max drop
• Front features two exterior zippered pockets, including an organizer panel
• Two main compartments; one serves as a clothing compartment and the other features a padded laptop compartment (15" laptop)
• Includes two packing cubes and a lock to keep your laptop safe

I love the super soft laptop section. It is the softest material but thick to protect any laptop. I also love the luggage handle for easy pulling and my favorite part are the included packing cubes perfect for toiletries, dirty clothes or shoes while traveling!

If you are looking for a durable carry on or traveling bag for short trips, this this Capital Trolley bag is perfect for you! Whether you are looking to keep a laptop safe on the trip or just your clothes, the Capital Trolley will do that for you!

Give Mom A Gift That Every Mother Will Envy!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Every mom seems to carry a gazillion things in their purse or in a diaper bag AND purse. And I have learned over the last five years of having kids that the purses and handbags that are functional aren't always cute or stylish! I have hit the point where I really WANT BOTH!

I have found both style and functionality from timi & leslie and their bags are perfect as a gift for any mother this Mother's Day! They are a celeb favorite and very on trend with current fashion styles.

timi & leslie’s designs are inspired by the philosophy that being a parent does not mean sacrificing style to gain function. With timi & leslie bags parents get the best of both worlds. They can look chic and stay organized.

The creation of timi & leslie revolutionized the diaper bag and ushered in an era where moms could also be style icons. In 2005, Women’s Wear Daily named timi & leslie number two on a list of those who have made a difference in the children’s business in the past 20 years.

With celebrity fans that include Angelina Jolie, Cindy Crawford, Courtney Cox Arquette, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba (see pic) and Jack Black, timi & leslie bags are the choice of par ents who know luxurious style, practical function and great quality.

My favorite bags are the Hannah bags! They are so cute and chic and I am absolutely loving mine!

There are so many great features of these bags, I don't even know where to start!!!

First off, it’s made from vegan faux leather (PVC free) and features custom hardware in an antique brass finish.

Plus, the Hannah comes with many functional and fashionable accessories and features:

• A cross body, adjustable detachable strap so you can wear it hands free whenever you need to;
• A specially designed changing pad with a front mesh pocket where you can store your diapers, wipes and creams when you need to make a quick diaper change trip;
• A zippered sac to put away soiled clothes;
• A stylish clutch that you can use as your purse (who wants to carry a purse and a bebe bag?) with interior credit card slots and an inside zipper pocket;
• An insulated bottle tote to keep your baby's bottles warm or cool;
• Matching stroller straps so you can hang your bebe bag from your stroller;
• Water resistant, light colored lining so you can easily see everything in your bag;
• Two exterior side pockets;
• Six interior organizational pockets;
• Inside key fob – never lose your keys!

Bag Measures: 14”H x 16”W x 6”D x 11”HD

I absolutely love the size of this bag! I can finally fit everything I need for my three kids AND for me! I really love the mesh bag and changing pad for messy diaper changes with my baby!

Plus, for ME, there is a stylish clutch and a matching stroller straps so I can easily attach it to the stroller at any time!

The timi & leslie bags are perfect for any Mother this Mother's Day! They will last way beyond the baby years and you will be proud to show off this diaper bag for years to come!

You can purchase timi & leslie bags throughout the U.S. and internationally at stores such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and buybuy BABY.

I love wearing really comfortable clothing...everyday. all day. But even more, I love when these comfortable clothes help a great cause and that is what I found when I found Niice Stuff! They create fun, unique apparel that's designed with care & they do it for an important reason.

Hayden Reis Tote Bags

It is -10 right now where I live...and no I don't live in Antarctica! And, yes, this is in the middle of the day and that is without calculating in wind chill (which makes it about -20) !!! (I bet you are all really jealous of me today, huh? :)

So you can imagine how much I am looking forward to summer and dreaming of the beach, hot sun, and swimming with my children!

When I saw the great tote bags from Hayden Reis, it was just what I needed to give take me out of the winter blues and get me looking forward to visiting some of the new lakes and beaches around my new house along with dreaming of a hot, winter vacation somewhere warm! The Hayden Reis tote bags are perfect for carrying all my "stuff" around, especially with two children!

Hayden Reis bags are functional, durable, water resistant and stylish beach/gym/travel totes and accessories made of some of the highest quality Dacron sail cloth in the country. Plus, I LOVE that they are MADE IN THE USA!

Hayden Reis was born from the idea that just you can still be stylish even if you need to be functional at the beach or at the gym! The creator started Hayden Reis because she wanted a true carry-all bag that could take her anywhere and make eyes turn. A bag that could take sunscreen leaks, my kids snack crumbs and it had to have pockets galore for my endless supply of “stuff.” I can definitely relate!

What makes Hayden Reis bags so unique is that they are made of some of the highest quality Dacron sailcloth in the country. That means they are super durable, water & sand resistant, lightweight and come in a variety of beautiful colors. Each bag has been carefully assembled and sewn by hand in the USA.

I absolutely LOVE the great line of adorably chic totes and pouches, perfect for new year travel, winter vacations, trips to the beach and a perfect bag for the gym! All the designs are so fun and feminine and I LOVE the Lilac & Grey striped MEDIUM tote that I received. They have so many pockets and are really durable! I finally found something durable enough to stand up to a toddler and a baby plus a crazy busy (and sometimes absent minded mother)! The colors are really pretty and I can't wait to take this bag to the beach, on a cruise, or on vacation!

So, as you dream of summer, the beach or vacation...I can’t promise you that your bathing suit will fit how you would like it… But, I can promise you that if you love a durable, fun, unique bag… Hayden Reis bags will be the perfect fit for you!

Buy It: You can purchase all Hayden Reis tote bags in various sizes (medium, large, wristlets, etc) and designs from the Hayden Reis website.
