Travel Smart with Valextra Vanity Case

$2,670 at Barneys New York, call Meeghan for details!  469-221-4727After almost two weeks in New York I was more than ready to return home.  I packed up my son, hubby and nanny and headed to the airport only to be told while sitting on the plane that our plane had a “fuel leak” which required a part that they may or may not have and may or may not be able to fix even if they had the part.  Everyone was told to stay in their seats until further notice but I am not one to take directions well so despite my husband’s protests (he hates breaking rules and causing a scene) I round up my brood and took off, knocking down flight attendants who dared to stand in my way. Unfortunately, my luggage was not so lucky, they couldn’t keep me on the flight but they kept my bags which went on to Dallas without me at midnight, 8 hours after our original departure time.  I booked a flight for the next day, went back to the city, had dinner with my family and went to bed early.  My point of this long tale?  Thank god for travel size cosmetics and thank god for vanity cases!   (more photos after the jump!)Valextra has hands down the most fabulous vanity cases on the market.  We all obsessed over the white one but now they are offering a delicious orange shade in sturdy grain leather for Fall.  Orange is the perfect color for the practical snob who does not have access to a private jet nor travel butler (our friend has one and let me tell you, a travel butler is the way to go!) but still wants to travel in high style.  Less likely to stain or scuff, it is also great for weekend trips by car or boat (or in my case, as a spa/gym bag so I can have all my necessities at my fingertips.  Is that high maintenance?  You obviously have not spent time with me.).  Size 12″ x 7.8″ x 7.4″$2,670 at Barneys New York, call Meeghan for details!
