JET SET CARRY-ON

Many of my readers often share their lost luggage stories with me, and I can feel their pain. It's truly the pits when you jet set somewhere and your luggage doesn't make it to the destination. (I'm freaking out because I'm jet setting this weekend and since it's going to be such a long trip, I think I might have to check my luggage...fingers crossed that it gets to where I'm going!) Anyway, the more and more I hear the stories, the more I think that carry-on is the way to go (not to mention the expensive checked luggage fees many airlines have recently added). So, here are five affordable spring/summer candidates that are cute and can hold a lot!

Topshop's Large Exotic Flower Holdall for $70.
JCrew's Overnight Canvas Bag for $36.50 Lands' End Ragtop Stripe Tote for $34.50
Roxy's Daybreak Bag for $115 Le Sport Sac's Large Weekender for $108 (My personal favorite...and the one I own!)

UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE CENTER

Ever wonder what happens to all the baggage that airlines loose? I'll tell you what happens...it ends up in Scottsboro, Alabama at the Unclaimed Baggage Center! Yup! Crazy as it sounds, it's true. Each day, an average of about 100 pieces or more of luggage are separated from jet setters. The Unclaimed Baggage Center basically buys and resells unclaimed baggage from the airlines and it's totally legit! Airlines have 90 days to reunite the luggage with the owner, once that time passes, it's free game for whomever wants it. There is a ton of stuff for sale at the Unclaimed Baggage Center. They stock over 7,000 new items each day into the store, and the store is over 40-thousand square feet...so just imagine! You can buy everything from baby strollers, to snorkels, to digital cameras, perfume, clothing, books, Cd's, DVDs, sunglasses, fine art, wedding dresses and jewelry! So maybe you want to plan a trip there and see what stuff you can find. Who knows, you might find something that once belonged to you if you've ever lost your luggage! :-)
