Sure, I am a bit biased with Ian working for Rowallan, but this set of Sanderling luggage in Raspberry is gorgeous.  (Not to mention this Spring’s hottest color.) A stunning traveling companion for the fashionista in all of us.

Shown in the photo is:

• “Gabrielle” duffel bag is two bags in one, with the roomy duffel unzipping to create a spacious garment bag; 23.75″W x 10.25″D x 12.5″T.
• “Jenna” rolling suitcase has an external laptop pocket, telescoping handle, and a raincoat; 14.75″W x 8″D x 20″T.
• “Elle” duffel opens to reveal a surprising amount of space; 13.5″W x 11″D x 17″.
• “Samantha” toiletries bag has two zippered, waterproof compartments; 12″W x 5.5″D x 9″T.
• “Marley” zip-out shopper bag is a full-size shopping tote that folds into an envelope that can be tucked into your purse; 14″W x 7″D x 6″T when open.

I found a little more information about the collection on the Rowallan website.  You know what I am getting at, don’t you?  Of course I hit “add to shopping bag” button…I could not help myself.  Looks like yet another tick in the yes column for that second honeymoon…an excuse to use my new luggage!  Ciao for now!

Have you heard about the new movie?  It is starring one of my favorites, Julia Roberts.  Take a look at the trailer, don’t you just want to dive into it?

Julia is even going to be on Oprah this month to talk about it…I need to mark my calendar so I don’t miss it.  Being so into it, I was talking with Kathleen the other day about how I cannot wait until it comes out in August and she told me the coolest thing…that Rowallan is in the movie as well!  Julia actually carries a Rowallan wallet throughout the film!  That means that Rowallan traveled to Italy, India, and Indonesia with Julia!

I think I have made my decision…I am going to suggest to Ian to follow the movie.  I have already been to Italy…it just seems the most logical thing to do, right?!  India and Indonesia to go!  Of course I could take a page from this girl’s incredible ideas.  What would you do?  Where would your journey begin?

Why am I telling you this…here is the catcher, the actors all toted Rowallan luggage on the set.  How cool is it that Rowallan luggage got to travel all over the Bahamas throughout the film?!  With Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, and Tyler Perry no less.  They featured items from the handsome leather Royal Mile Collection…Turnberry (shown), Kathleen, and Kilmars.  Get to the movies…and let me know if you spot any luggage while you are there!

So, I hate to admit it, but sometimes I cannot help myself, I peruse wedding websites from time to time.  One of my favorites is Martha Stewart Weddings…can she do no wrong?  There are so many great ideas there.  So, I was not really surprised when I popped on the Bride’s Guide blog other day and found that they were featuring one of Rowallan‘s fantastic leather duffles, the Edinburgh!  Check it out for yourself here.  I say, what could be more perfect than traveling with Rowallan on your honeymoon?  I am off to tell Ian…I tried many times with the wedding to no luck, maybe I can convince him of at least a second honeymoon?
