Fab Ad: Shalom Harlow for Tumi

Tumi has long been a go-to place for luggage and laptop cases, but ever since they decided to launch a women's handbag line, things have been a little different.

Tumi has long been a go-to place for luggage and laptop cases, but ever since they decided to launch a women's handbag line, things have been a little different. The brand is looking to be more fashionable and more high-end, upgrading to materials like Napa leather and higher prices.

To help them attain this newfound status, Tumi tapped the lovely Shalom Harlow to bring high fashion attitude to their ad campaigns. Bring it Shalom does: she looks so luxe with her bright yellow bag, chubby fur, and retro-style swimwear. What do you think?

Father's Day

Fab Gift Guide: Father's Day

Does anyone else find daddio to be one of the hardest people to shop for?

Does anyone else find daddio to be one of the hardest people to shop for? My dad is very minimal. But, he does love his gadgets, movies and velour lounge suits (yes, you heard me right). In case you don't know some of your dad's favorite things, here are some fab ideas. If worse comes to worse, a card and a kiss are all he really needs.

Under $50

Valet key rings rock! I have one myself, and if I don't like to carry extra key bulk with me, I'm sure your dad feels the same way. Try this TUMI Leather Valet Key Fob, $32. It is simple, leather and resistant - and masculine of course.

Travel Alert! Super Fly Suitcases

While we are on the subject of travel, we thought we would do some research on some fashionable luggage options.

While we are on the subject of travel, we thought we would do some research on some fashionable luggage options. Duffel bags are great because they are expandable and can fit more, but they always wind up breaking your back and chafing your neck when traveling. Ratty old valises are well made, but without wheels you are forced to pack light which is something that is just not always possible. Here’s a solution; why not get a fashionable and cool roller suitcase? Not only will you be able to spot any of these on the baggage carousel, you will walk around the airport looking internationally stylish! Here are a few ways to travel like the jet setters do:

1. Diane Von Furstenberg Metallic Signature Luggage Set . Hurry up - it's on sale now from $299 to $780. I love that you can buy an entire matching set - it's like a luggage outfit! These pieces look cool and they are very sturdy. They are made out of poly, cotton and metallic fibers, and are available in pewter and bronze. The inside is lined with the DVF logo and it's water resistant.
