I’m having a little case of honeymoon jitters. With my wedding a few months behind us, I’ve used up any leftover energy planning our honeymoon. Going to Europe has been my lifelong dream, ever since my Kindergarten teacher asked us to draw the Eiffel tower. But to get there I have to spend 10 hours straight on the plane, and it’s making me a little nervous. So to help me get my mind off of airplane jitters, I decided to focus on shopping for cool travel gear. Hopefully it’ll help me catch the travel bug!

I’m so over dark-colored luggage. Aren’t you? Here are some cool totes in eye-opening colors and designs.

Top row: Melissa Beth Designs Half Pocket Full of ‘Puter and Weekend Briefcase Bag from Target.

Middle and Bottom rows: Kate Spade classic noel carry-on with wheels, Travel Chic Jewelry roll and Tepper Jackson Passport Wallet and Vera Bradley Luggage Tag.

Shades of violet, lilac and lavender make their royal comeback this season! In everything from designer dresses to fashionable decor, this hue adds a hint of drama to everything it touches. Take a look at my idea of a truly royal wedding inspired by the color purple.
