I have always been horrible at picking which bag will best consolidate my carry-on needs: Nalgene, wallet, slew of magazines (including my airtime guilty pleasure, People), book, extra socks, travel documents, cosmetics case, sweater, cell phone, blow-up pillow, and snacks. Im usually relieving my shoulder from a digging-in purse strap Replica Omega 1371.71 Constellation Watch while juggling an over-the shoulder bag or backpack and boarding pass/food/water/phone. Since I cant grow four extra arms to deal with my needs, I need a multi-purpose bag. The Getaway is equipped with bells and whistles to handle everything. The padded electronics pocket stored my phone while a cash-and-receipt zippered pocket held my valuables.
A concealed passport pocket makes traveling to Europe without pickpocket-worry easy and the fleece-lined eyewear pocket means you dont have to bring your big, hard sunglass case. My favorite feature? Well, there are quite a few, but one of them was the panel that stretches the width of the bag on one side, allowing you to slip the bag over the Replica Omega 1211.30 Double Eagle Perpetual Watch handle on your wheeled luggage. No more dangling purse dragging on the floor or swinging around annoyingly. The ripstop fabric is incredibly light and the zippers are easy to open thanks to their perfectly-sized toggles. Plus, theres a little sidepocket just big enough for my Nalgene to always be accessible. Did I mention its adorable? Every time I use it, one of my friends says they want one. Guess my holiday shopping is done. --Alicia Carr

Stylish and low-key Replica Omega 3220.50 Speedmaster Day Date Watch enough to wear to the office or bar, but tough enough, thanks to their durable ten-ounce cotton canvas material and things like triple-stitching and reinforced rear cuffs, to stand up to weekends of abuse outdoors.
