LeSportsac's Chic Carryalls
We've long loved LeSportsac for their practical, durable travel bags, but lately they've been stepping up the chic factor significantly - so much so that we're considering incorporating one into each of our weekly activities. They're made of easy-to-clean nylon, and the whimsical print brings some playfulness to these everyday items.
The Lotus Yoga Tote is a cute and compact printed yoga mat with zipper pockets at the back and a detachable pouch for storing those few essentials you need for traveling between the house and the gym. To thread that happy yoga mat pattern into your work environment, check out LeSportsac's Laptop Sleeve to protect your computer during the commute. For weekend, the duffel-like Piper Tote is large enough to act as an overnight bag but manageable enough to tote around town all weekend long.
And take a peek at the new Stella McCartney for LeSportsac line - full of chic, adorable totes in retro-glam prints. We love this carry-on case ($420) in Stella's funky Pop print. - Rebekah of SheFinds.com

Trend Alert: The Keen Roatan
Check out the Puma-like Keen Roatan. It's a comfortable, cute, and functional shoe designed especially for women that's been getting quite some buzz around the Web lately, thanks in part to its inclusion as one of Forbes 10 Best Shoes for Your Sport. (Forbes points out that they're great as a Yoga shoe, not just for water business.)
The upper Mary Jane-looking area is made of stretch neoprene, which dries quickly, and the non-marking rubber sole gives fantastic traction on slippery surfaces. The design features a special lateral support system and they're lightweight at only 12 oz. Keen Roatans also come in five kicky colors -- orange, green, blue, black, aqua, bright red, and maroon. - Katie of SheFinds.com

Spring Shoes by Paris Hilton
Why not walk in an heiress's shoes this spring, with the exciting recent launch of Paris Hilton's footwear collection.
Paris taps into the current craze for metallics and animal prints but also keeps the simple classics "hot," as she would say.
Consisting of adorable pumps and flattering flats, this footwear line won't break the bank, since most prices are under $100. And the shoes are available in sizes up to 11, the same difficult-to-find women's shoe size that Paris herself wears.

Keep Your Feet Pain-Free
With the new spring shoe trends now in stores, and soon to be on our feet, a girl has to be prepared for some pain. These new trends are definitely hot, but are not very forgiving to our poor little footsies. So should you throw in the towel and resign yourself to wearing Birkenstocks all summer? We hope not. In order to avoid such a major faux-pas, and help you wear the latest styles completely pain-free, SheFinds has put together some solutions for how to make those killer heels not so killer on your feet.
Foot Petals Sole Solutionz are perfect for keeping your feet in place while walking around in mile-high heels. The discreet petals are placed on the interiors of your shoes - you'll never see them, but you'll certainly feel them.
Insolia Inserts are gel-like plastic inserts that make walking in your Manolos a piece of cake. They help distribute your weight more evenly across the bottom of your foot rather than just the ball.
To relieve painful chafing between your shoes and the sides of your feet, try this Blister Elixir. It's known to prevent nasty blisters and other types of shoe irritation.
If it's too late to prevent those blisters, and you need some relief stat, we recommend these nifty little Nexcare Comfort Ultra Fabric Bandages. They offer effective coverage and durable staying power. - Bryn of SheFinds.com

Luxury Luggage by Tumi
Tumi luggage makes fashionable flying a walk in the park. The surprisingly made-in-Jersey brand of luxury luggage is too chic to check.
Tumi is known for its functionality and durability. Expandable compartments, interior accessories pockets, and removable straps make Tumi bags convenient, while their signature ballistic nylon fabric, soft leather straps, and protective feet, and wheels keep these pricey bags lasting much longer than their guaranteed 5-year warranty.
New arrivals to the internationally known and trusted brand include these great spring-colored bags.
The orange Tumi Alpha Sport Duffel is perfect for a weekend at the beach with its exterior-access wet pocket. You can toss your swimsuit and towel in the compartment and go. At $295, this duffle is one of Tumi's more affordable bags. The yellow Tumi Voyageur Weekender is a perfect spring carry-on. Crafted from lightweight nylon with vachetta leather trim and elegant details including leather covered key locks and contrast stitching, it's worth the $450 it costs. The white Tumi Spectator Tote Wheeled Packing Case is made from Italian coated canvas with leather trim, wheels, and a telescoping handle. For $650 this pack pays for itself.
If the tans and browns are more your thing, I totally understand. I have major issues with clashing. I absolutely could not sport the bright orange sack above with my green pea-coat. It's too much for me to handle. The Townhouse Travel & Business collection will keep you subtly stylish. The Tumi Montague Duffel for $795, the Tumi Langham Wheeled Duffle for $995, and the Tumi Esmond Medium Satchel for $595 should be thought of as investments - monetarily and fashionably. - Christine of SheFinds.com

Get Ready for Spring With Pretty Flats
Spring may be here, but in many parts of the country, the weather isn't warm enough for open-toe shoes. The perfect solution? Pretty flats in ladylike ballet styles or delicate patterns. The classic flat style -- the ballet flat -- is perfect with this season's soft, sheer dresses and skirts. We like the knotted suede Gap ballet flat and Dolce Vita's snake print flat with its cute tiny buckle. Another popular style for flats this spring is the all-over cut-out pattern, like these from Corso Como.
Keep in mind that you might need additional arch support when wearing flats. Try inserting Dr. Scholl's arch support insoles in your new flats for a more comfortable fit.
