Being an on-the-go type of lady means always having a great
bag that can hold some of my most vital items, including a favourite lipstick, a
must-have scarf, allergy medicine, and even sanitizer. Aside from fitting the
obvious essentials like your wallet, a notepad, and smartphone, there are ways to
have an alternative carryall handbag, and travel in style!
After packing for any holiday, my airport accessories all
comes down to what can fit comfortably in a handbag—the perfect silhouette
is a mix of versatility and practical style. The style equation is simple: resilient simplicity plus a bit of luxe flamboyance equals an excellent silhouette. This Marlow satchel by Mary Lai is
exactly that!
