Leather Rhododendron Tote by Ora Kiely

The Flight001 Bi-Annual Sale started today, with 30 to 75% off tons o’ stuff, all Flight001 web exclusives. There are a dangerous amount of covetable totes and suitcases and overnighters and duffels with prices slashed. I’m currently trying to rationalize purchase of this Orla Kiely lovely like the bagaholic I am. Even though it’s on sale, it would be the most expensive bag I own. On the other hand? Would last forever! Goes with everything! On sale!

Kid travel journal and scrapbook by I Get Around


My 5-going-on-15-year-old niece Nayana walked me through her recent trip to New York with the aid of this travel journal. Two pages designated to each day offer a good amount of space to write a few key words, draw thoughts and plaster stickers. The trip kicked off the journal, which she’ll continue to fill throughout the year. Definitely a keepsake in the making.
