Lanvin Papillote Shopper: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:22:22 PST

I love how Lanvin has been rolling out these cartoon drawings lately - they're really cute - and the latest edition is this Lanvin Papillote Shopper ($925). But I never thought I'd see such an expensive canvas grocery tote. Would you go for it?

On Our Radar: Marc by Marc Jacobs Canvas Tote

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 06:45:44 PDT

Over the Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" Tote, but not over the PC notion of using a canvas tote to carry groceries? The "Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs" canvas tote is a very stylish and viable option at only $12! Plus, it has a sense of irony: Marc pokes fun at himself and all the other designers who plaster their names all over everything. That's my boy.

Brooklyn Industries Waxed Canvas Backpack

Kristen Hawley — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 13:05:08 PDT

I'm always on the lookout for a pretty bag - bonus points if it's made to hold my laptop, too! The Modern Waxed Canvas Backpack ($94) from Brooklyn Industries doubles as a tote bag and safely stores your laptop (leaving plenty of room for other stuff). Exterior waxed canvas keeps the bag's contents dry, and the flannel-lined interior is soft and stylish.

The interior laptop sleeve holds computers up to 15 inches and contains extra padding, for safety. It's perfect for bike commuting too - wear it as a backpack to go hands-free or use it like a traditional tote. Bonus: it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

In-Room Fitness Amenities Offered at 5 Popular US Hotel Chains

Heather Dale — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 10:37:06 PDT

Hotel gyms are becoming so state-of-the-art nowadays that you really just need to show up in your shorts and running shoes and you will have access to all the amenities your workout routine could ever require. Hotel chains are even stepping it up a notch by offering in-room workout gear for guests, as an increasing amount of women are keen on exercising in the comfort of their own room - why compromise privacy and convenience?

Here's a rundown of the big hotel names that are bringing the workout to you, in the comfort and safety of your own hotel room.

Westin Hotels and Resorts: Various Westin locations across the country offer a program called RunWestin complete with a running concierge who leads guests on runs and even acts as a tour guide while pounding the pavement. This running group is available for all guests of varying running levels, and if you'd rather run solo, you can grab or download a provided trail map. Forget your shoes? No problem. Your Westin hotel just may be one of the properties that has teamed up with New Balance so you can borrow shoes, shorts, shirts, sports bras, and socks during your stay!

The Westin also offers the option of booking a guest room that comes with a treadmill, a stationary bike, dumbbells, fitness DVDs, resistance bands, and stability balls. So you never have to worry about leaving your room to work out!

Here are more hotels that offer in-room exercise gear.
