TOPS

Add a pop of color or pattern to a neutral style trunk.

BOOKS

"It", by style icon Alexa Chung.

"36 Hours" by the New York Times. I recently picked up the "Southeast" USA edition of this collection and recommend it for those who enjoy traveling during the summer- especially for those couples or groups who travel quickly and don't stay put in one spot longer than 36 hours!
