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
