Travel : The perfect carry on bag from New Look

New Look Carry On Bag

I have been on the quest for the perfect carry on bags for years. Something I can use but the Husband won’t look out of place toting round the airport on my behalf.

Recently on my travels I have been absolutely LOVING this black twin pocket holdall (£24.99) from New Look Mens.

Large and sturdy, you can carry it via grab handles or a long strap and with it flat bottom and sides it sits perfectly on top of your suitcase. An approved cabin size bag, it is also the perfect size for trains and even the dinkiest of car boots – as I too have recently found out!

The plain black keeps it chic and stylish so I can confidently take it from a work trip to a weekend away with friends and the canvas fabric forgives a lot of overstuffed bag sins!

Keep an eye out for a post coming soon on what’s in my hand luggage for my most recent trip abroad.

RIU Clubhotel Tikida Palmeraie, Marrakech, Morocco

RIU Clubhotel Tikida Palmeraie, Marrakech, Morocco

We were lucky enough to visit the Clubhotel Tikida Palmeraie hotel not long after opening, back in 2010 and we were thoroughly impressed. So impressed that I am booked in to the sister hotel in Marrakech in May with Thomson Holidays.

From the outside, the hotel appears very modest, as is the way with a lot of the Riad’s and buildings in Marrakech but once through the doors, you are surrounded by sheer unadulterated opulence.

Joules 4 wheel cabin luggage

Joules Floral 4 wheel spinner case 2

If you follow me on Twitter then you will remember me trying to hunt high and low for the perfect 4 wheel ‘spinner’ cabin case. Something with a little bit of fun but looks presentable for business.

I have a beauty of a case from Joules to show you. It’s quite possibly my favourite thing ever.

If you are not familiar with the Joules brand, you may have spotted them at a country show or in one of the predominantly southern standalone stores. A family business for over 25 years, Joules has become synonymous with high quality. Almost being ruined by the 2001 Foot & Mouth epidemic due to most of the country shows being cancelled, the brand branched out in to stores.
