Jet Blue's Celebrity Baggage Auction

Here's your chance to travel like the stars—or at least with their baggage. Celebrities including Jessica Simpson, Kellan Lutz and Rosario Dawson donated their used luggage to Jet Blue's Celebrity Baggage Auction to benefit DoSomething.org a group that helps kids across the country. That's Jessica's well used bag, above and Kelly Osbourne's below.

Each bag includes two round trip tickets on Jet Blue and of course you won't have to pay to check your new bag in as the first bag is always free.

In addition, Jet Blue is giving away bags and tickets on its Facebook fan page. For every entry received, Jet Blue donates $1 to DoSomething.org. Talk about a win-win! The auctions end June 6.

Win a Tumi TAG case

To celebrate the launch of its Artist's Proof TAG Case, Tumi is giving away a piece that is signed by graffiti artist John "Crash" Matos. Enter on the Tumi Facebook page before Friday.

Jimmy Choo Luggage

The new Jimmy Choo luggage may have replaced this set as our fantasy luggage. Both pieces measure L15 x H18.5 x W9 and are lined in leopard print. The leopard print piece is $4,995

and the black patent is $3,295.

Both pieces are far too pretty to ever check, but that's OK. In our fantasy, we only fly on private planes. Available on JimmyChoo.com.

New Women's Trench from ScotteVest

If you've read our blog long enough, you know what big proponents we are of carrying on your luggage. It saves you checked bag fees, time by avoiding the luggage carrier, and you'll never be without your favorite LBD because the airline lost your luggage.

Scottvest takes it to another extreme by designing clothes that have so many hidden pockets, you can pack your clothes and amenities right in your jacket. Fully packed they are comically bulky; but the airlines don't have a response yet to this crafty way of getting around the luggage issues. Until now we haven't been impressed with the styles of the tops, vests and jackets for women; but their new trench coat is a huge improvement. It's available in four versatile colors: the red is a beaut, the periwinkle great for Spring and Summer and the black and tan good for those of you who don't want your coat making a bright color statement.

Until we have the chance to try one of these jackets ourselves, you can read K.D. Summer's trial as seen in the Washington Post.

Price is $130 at ScotteVest.

Tumi Spring Collection

We love our Tumi carry on bags and though we've only had them a year or so; we've dragged them all over the world already. (That's Hope in Tuscany above.) This spring Tumi is introducing its first line of sunglasses inspired by famous bridges and their balance of form and function using materials including leather, aluminum, titanium and stainless steel.

Tumi also introduced their new Bravo collection of day bags this Spring. Our pick is the unstructured Kessler Large Duffel in Linen which attaches easily to our Tumi system (for extra packing space) or could be used alone for a quick trip.

Looking for more Tumi? Check out the graffic art series of luggage by artist Crash. You wouldn't miss one of these on the luggage carousel!

Tumi’s Graffiti Art Suitcases

If you have this limited Tumi edition bag, you’ll never mistake your suitcase for someone else’s when it comes down the baggage carousel! The designs are created by graffiti artist John “Crash” Matos who says of the pieces, “They speak volumes…you can see joy, sadness, anger…and they also give the impression of Pop Art, but with the flair for now.” A limited edition of 1,000 signed pieces will be available ranging from $45 to $595. The Tumi’s Graffiti Art Suitcases will be available in March 2011. 

Luggage We Love

Thanks to New York Magazine for turning us on to this jewel of a luggage piece. The diamond-like edges of the Delsey Karat suitcase makes this the biggest rock we've ever seen. Plus, it has 360-degree wheels--a MUST for the next piece of luggage you buy!
