Sparkling Jewels on The Go

I don't know about you, but for me this summer is filled with weekend travel all over the country to attend weddings.

I don't know about you, but for me this summer is filled with weekend travel all over the country to attend weddings. For some reason picturing the bride with her brand-spanking shiny new diamond ring makes me want my jewelry looking as good as possible. Recently I discovered this Connoisseurs Jewelry Cleansing Gel and Brush that works great and is perfect for travel.

The compact bottle fits perfectly in your purse and it takes about one minute to get your jewelry looking just as great as the bride's. Not that you care or anything...

LL Bean

The Perfect Tote For Your Last Hurrah

There are officially 3 weekends left of summer!

There are officially 3 weekends left of summer! Boo. Where did the summer go? Hopefully you will get to spend at least one of them either at the beach, the lake, out on a boat, etc. If you do, here are some great totes for your last hurrah.

You can't do a piece on tote bags without paying tribute to the classic "Often Imitated - Never Duplicated" LL Bean Boat and Tote Bag. I have one of these bags and I absolutely love it. I carry it to the office, on the plane, on a weekend getaway, literally everywhere. It's available in a range of colors, which change depending on the season. Prices range from $17 - $30 depending on the size you choose and the monogramming options you pick. Available, here.

A couple more great options, so read more
