Stella McCartney & Le Sportsac

Leaving on a jetplane? Besides deserving a much needed summer vacay and being mentally prepared 2 weeks in advance, don't let that cloud your memory about the one thing that can potentially make or break sanity: reliable and handy travel accessories.

Organizing your hectic life is hard enough, so make sure if you have to take it with you, you are well-prepared. There is no question: you simply need a great carry-on that is functional and fashionable. It is probably the most essential item you will have on your trip, so please don't sell yourself short.

Since I was a little girl, I have had a fascination with the nylon handbags by LeSportsac. It is really like no other. Known for their distinctive shapes, fabrics, and array of patterns- their reputation is outstanding. Besides having extremely fun and adorable patterns, they are multi-functional for traveling and going to the beach. Each season premieres new whimsical motifs and colors that improves every year. To me, half of the excitement is mixing and matching styles with different swatches. Getting 100 compliments everywhere you go on your handbag makes up the other half.

Recently, Stella McCartney (who is SO hot right now) has teamed up with the legendary brand to make an awesome line of relatively affordable handbags ($200-$500) in chic patterns and vibrant colors. The sophisticated collection consists of travel bags, luggage, baby accessories and bags for working mothers.

The large bowling bag is a perfect carry-on, gym bag, and work purse all into one. And you can pick from three stylish patterns.

McCartney, who continues to impress the fashion world with her innovation, shows off her talent through her line of handbags with Le Sportsac. Make your life liveable and portable by ordering one right now at www.lesportsac.com/stella
