In my never-ending quest for comfortable yet professional clothes for business travel, the name BetaBrand kept coming up. Known for their dress pants that feel like yoga pants, they have quite the cult following. They have a ton of cool options targeting those who travel, and they sent me a few items to test out..…
Anytime I post asking for tips to avoid baggage fees, readers recommend SCOTTeVEST. It sounded kind of silly to me–load up your coat pockets to avoid checking a bag? Why would anyone do that?? So when SCOTTeVEST wanted to send me their women’s trench coat to try out, I was intrigued. Read on for my…
If you’ve spent any time at all in airports, you’ve seen Travelpro suitcases. They are everywhere, a perennial favorite of business travelers and flight crews. Travelpro recently released the new Crew 11 21” Spinner Carry On, their lightest 21” suitcase yet. I was thrilled when they sent me one to test out. It faced the…
Two and a half years ago the company that makes EMME travel toiletry bags sent one to me for review. Up to that point, I had been bad-mouthing zippered, hanging toiletry bags as too big, bulky, and unnecessary. The original EMME bag changed all of that for me, and I’ve used it, and loved it, on…

I have to admit, I was…

I’d also always heard good things about their luggage, a perennial reader favorite, but never had any experience with it myself. Then last fall Eagle Creek sent me one of their newest bags to try…
I have been an admirer of Dobbin Clothing since I first heard of them earlier this year. Their story is compelling—two fashion industry marketing and design professionals who came together to create their ideal line of women’s clothes. They make all of their garments in New York City, a rarity for clothing manufacturers these days,…
On my first business trip I packed so much that I couldn’t lift my suitcase and had to pack it. I blame that in large part to the enormous toiletry kit, stuffed to the brim, that took up half of my rollaboard. After that trip I vowed that I would stay far away from the…
Late last year I bought an iPad Air. The goal was to gradually transition to my travel computer and eventually start leaving my Dell 14 inch laptop at home. For the first month I didn’t have a keyboard, and it baffled me how anyone used tablets as work computers. Typing on a screen is fine…
