I wanted to share my new travel shoe find.

The other week I was looking for a pair of black flat sneaker like shoes that I could use for travel to replace a pair of black pace glove Merrells that...

Back packs and shoulder bags are both fine. Neither would look strange. I tend to prefer the shoulder bag to reduce back sweat from wearing my backpack on hot days. I use my MCB and think it works...

I travel to the Middle East quite often for work and vacation. One way you can certainly cut down on your bag weight is with careful clothing selections. I tend to pack 1 long black skirt, 1 pair of...

Hi All!
I got back from Chicago on Sunday. My TB bags were amazing, I packed the right amount of stuff though I wish I had packed my winter coat instead of my spring coat because it was quite cold...

@ceb- I didn't even know what "flak jacket" meant and had to google it. I don't know what that says about me. It is a bullet proof/protective vest? There are times when I have done work in refugee...

Next Monday I am headed on a week long trip that has been complicated to pack for because of my itinerary. Three different hotels, one rental car, several cabs, and lots of different events...I was...

Welcome to the forum:) It took me a long time to decide on my bag but once I did, I have never once regretted a purchase at Tom Bihn.

@Lani I love the dress and that it is reversible! Now I have another dress on my wish list....:)

@Shiva The Dansko shoes are called the "Thea" model. They come in all different color combinations but the black on black is quite versatile.

@JLE Oh yes, a coat is involved. It is like a second skin on me this winter so I forgot to post it. I wear a wool overcoat with a scarf in and out of buildings.

I am headed to Hong Kong for the...

How was the Princess half? It is one of my dreams to run that half marathon with some of my girlfriends and I would love to hear what your experience was like.

I am headed to a three day academic conference in the Northeast tomorrow. I will travel by car. Despite the lack of carry on regulations, I still like to keep it minimal. There is a chance I might...

Simpsons + TB= so awesome

I am not sure if you are located in the US, but there is a great small coffee roastery in Champaign, IL called Columbia Street Roastery Columbia Street Roastery by Herriott's - Champaign, IL. They...

I think the website is extremely well- designed and customer friendly. There are clear factual descriptions. There are videos. There are real customer photos to check out how the product can be...

I live in a suburb of Boston and got over 24 inches. Thank goodness we have a private plow that will do our driveway because it is heavy wet snow to shovel...We are thankful we still have power too...

My Dad traveled a lot when I was growing up- maybe 2-3 months out of every year. At the time there were no cell phones but he did a great job of being "present" by having phone dates with me and my...

@K_SA I use an old Eagle creek mesh packing cube. I think it was purchased in 1998 (!) but it has served me well.

I think I did not correctly upload my pictures from Honduras. Doh. Here they...

Honduras was a fantastic trip. We spent time in Tegucigalpa visiting professional contacts and relaxing, several days in La Ceiba on the Rio Cangrejal at a small B&B in the jungle and visiting some...

I received my birthday MCB this week and I am so thrilled. My mother in law fell in love with Tom Bihn after seeing my bag and ordered her very own wallet and small cafe bag in the same color scheme!...

Shoes: Dansko clogs, Frye boots, and Old Gringo for my cowgirl boots
Furniture and Household: Room and Board
Skincare/haircare/beauty: Desert Essence (especially the organic...

A quick shot of my my fully packed Synapse on the Jet Blue flight from Boston to Washington Dulles. It fit perfectly under the seat and was a great companion during my travels- I even had room to...

It is my birthday on January 4 and I treated myself to a present. After reading lots of forum posts, I decided on a Medium Cafe Bag in black-wasabi to act as my purse and companion bag to my Synapse....

The color combo looks great!
