When I look at my wardrobe and accessories, the majority of the colours I see are neutrals. Browns, blacks, whites. Basic boring. There are a few solid-coloured pieces that I own which are bright and bold, and funny enough, those are the ones I receive the most compliments on. So when I saw the new Spring/Summer line of bags and accessories from Lug, I just knew I needed to add more colour to my life. And what better way to do that than with something practical, stylish, and just plain smart.

As a mother of two young children, spending the night away from home always requires that I pack for the inevitable, whether it's rain or shine. This means I am always stuffing a number of items into my small duffle bag, which I originally bought as a carry-on for my trip to Italy back in university. It has two deep pockets on either side and two smaller pockets on the front. And that's pretty much it. Needless to say, it doesn't quite cut it now that I'm married with children. It seems I am always packing something or other in an additional bag or two since it won't all fit in my old bag. It wasn't until I saw the Airbus Weekender Bag that I felt like I had found the solution to my travel woes.
