Travel Style: One Night in Beverly Hills (Winner Update)

LeAura Beverly Hills
Read to the end of the post to win a Rabeanco bag!
Recently I took a trip to the West Cost and got to play tourist in Beverly Hills. I tried to travel light but that’s just not an option in my world. I choose my bag wisely for this reason. My arm candy of the night (and my new favorite bag) is the Lucia II by Rabeanco in light purple.
Lucia II insideThis tote style ensures you not only arrive at your destination in style, but with the peace of mind that you haven't forgotten a thing! The interior space makes this tote a perfect choice when carrying capacity is at the forefront.
Lucia II plus clutchWhat’s in my bag? There is the makeup bag, wallet, cell phone and keys. Also, I tend to trek with tech: Nikon D5100, iPad, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (and chargers). One of my favorite things about this bag is the detachable clutch inside. The color matched leather clutch can be worn separately or left in place; thanks to the removable security strap that attaches to an interior D-ring. 
While in BH I hit up Rodeo Drive and did some serious (window) shopping. Dressed in my purple breezy Alice & Olivia mini dress, white Prada wedges and light purple Rabeanco bag I strolled along all the major designer shops. Gucci store
When I worked up an appetite I headed over to The Beverly Hills Hotel for some light bites with friends. I had such a fun night I cant wait to head back to Cali soon!
