UGANDA bans miniskirts! Fashion faux pas?

Uganda turns its back on mini skirts and dresses with its recent ban on such attire. There hasn't been any explanations as to why they have outlawed minis? Fashion is a form of art and curtailing design is restricting freedom of expression!

TRAVEL: Bags, accessories & what to pack when you travel.

If you travel a lot, don't panic if you are not sure what to pack or which suitcase is suitable. There are so many choices now a days. Below find a quick guide and a variety of suitcases that are fashionable in 2014

 

 Holdall bags are ideal for a weekend away and two can share one bag to ease on excess luggage.

and for her

Miniatures are ideal toiletries for weekend breaks

 and jewelry bags are perfect for keeping everything in place

If you are traveling to airports that are known for lax security, then it's best to travel with a hard suitcase as soft canvas ones are easily ripped open.

Baggage also comes kid friendly in many shapes and sizes.

 Be sure to keep one bag full of toys for them and reserve another for their clothes.

Into 'retro' luggage? The above suitcases are not only nostalgic but classic.  They are ideal for taking on a beach vacation.

 Hat bags come in many fashionable colours and styles. If flying avoid checking them in. They should always be carried as cabin baggage and kept in your overhead locker.

A true 'fashionista' wouldn't leave town without LOUIS VUITTON luggage. Be frugal and collect them one at a time!

For those with pets, there are many special carriers. If flying with them check the country you are entering or risk having your pet quarantined for months.

Going on a cycle tour or to the next neighbourhood for an all night party?  Cycle bags are ideal and safely tucked under your bicycle seat.

Be careful not to over pack or you might end up with your suitcase bursting at the seams

For professionals and business people who travel for meetings, mix and match is ideal

Casual / smart for workshop and consultancies

or

 

formal corporate mix and match co ordinates

Suit holders are perfect for keeping suits uncreased

or else opt for a bespoke suitcase made for your special needs.
