When I was little, my mom had a mint green leather vanity case that she would always use every time we went on vacation, and I remember being totally jealous of it. Not that it was particularly spectacular (I was born in the mid 80s and I think that particular set of luggage was a holdover from the late 70s, based on the color) or that I had anything to put in it at that age – it just seemed like the sort of thing that big girls had for all of their big girl beauty needs.

So maybe the Marc by Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon Vanity Case is my childhood dream come true?
I can’t say that I cosign on the color choice – it’s a little too taupe for my taste, and I tend to like brightly colored travel gear. We’ll give the folks at Marc by Marc Jacobs the benefit of the doubt, though, since this probably comes in at least a few other color options. The interior is filled with vinyl pockets and lots of space for makeup, brushes, hair products and the various and sundry other things that I currently end up throwing into a Target bag while traveling. Odds are, this little vanity case will keep me a lot more organized than that does. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $158.
