This lime canvas butterfly chair folds up so you can use it almost anywhere: the back yard, the beach, the subway at rush hour. (I get tired of standing, don't you?) It's perfectly at home indoors too.

Sleeping on silk supposedly helps prevent wrinkles (or at least pillow lines). Use it on your home pillow or take it with you on trips to slip over the hotel linens. Each pillowcase comes with a matching silk satchel.

Have you noticed that red is the new black when it comes to luggage? A friend of mine recently got her red rolley bag snagged off the baggage carousel and taken home by some dude who didn't think to check the luggage tag. That's part of what draws me to this 27-inch polka-dot bag from Jansport. I also like that it can expand another two inches.

For Christmas, a friend bought me one of these Janine King laptop sleeves through Etsy. I have to say, I'm starting to get addicted to that site. I really like how you can browse for things by color. As for these laptop sleeves, they come in a variety of cute patterns and actually fit my big-screened laptop.

I'll have a tall half-caf mocha, hold the sleeve. I brought my own. Yeah, these fabric sleeves are environmentally friendly (especially if you are too lazy to wash them). They are also pretty darn cute. They come in eight different styles.

Here's an adorable bag for carrying those liquidy treasures that I can't believe are still being banned from our carry-ons. Anyway, it still looks pretty checked bags or, if you dare, filled with weird perfume towelettes and shampoo bars.

These green, pink, and orange luggage tags stand out even more on a baggage carousel because they come personalized with an initial. There's a flap on the back for writing in your address or some vague threats for luggage looters.

Like everyone else at the airport baggage claim, I have one of those black rolling bags. Every time I check it, someone else tries to nab it from the conveyer belt. I even tied a bunch of yellow and purple ribbons to the handle, but people still went for it. That's probably why enjoy Pamela Barsky's cheeky luggage tags so much, especially the one that reads, "This is not your suitcase."
