I'm in a phase of life where I see my Away bags more than my husband, my dog, or the inside of my apartment. Reporting as Marie Claire's senior fashion news editor has taken me everywhere from the streets of Copenhagen Fashion Week to the mountains of Utah for an afternoon with the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast (more on that later) in the span of weeks, with some shorter trips to upstate New York and Boston in between. In a few days, I'll be back in the TSA line en route to report from the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. A week after that, I'll jet down to Atlanta for Marie Claire's annual Power Play summit. Oh, and I have a family trip to Mexico City in between—where I also plan to take some work meetings with indie brands I'm dying to check out on the ground.
I love the pace of my work and the places I get to see. Naturally, this a job where hardworking travel bags aren't just nice-to-haves; they're basically a work outfit requirement. And Away's new Featherlight Weekender—an under-$150, over-the-shoulder style—is the one I've found up to the task.
