Part of Ondria's Travel Feature...

I am a girl who loves to travel. Whether I'm simply heading out for a weekend getaway or a week-long adventure, I love being away from home! When I travel, I like to do it in style. Most of the time, I end up having to pack very lightly, because of limited space. When you're new at being a momma, it's hard to pack lightly, but must be done to make room for all of your baby's gear. If I can only have one to two pairs of shoes, and maybe five outfits to last ten days, how am I supposed to express my individual style?

The best way to spruce up any outfit, and even make two different outfits out of the same grouping of clothing is to accessorize. However, you can't accessorize while you travel if you leave all of your jewelry at home! I often throw several pairs of earrings, and maybe a necklace or two into a tiny little black jewelry box, and everything ends up jumbles, tangled, or worse- gets completely lost in the chaos! There are some pieces of jewelry I never travel without, but I have been in desperate need of a way to keep them safe while on the go.

I recently came across SomethingSeaBlue, a unique shop on Etsy owned by Renee Hathaway. Renee's lovely designs and fabric choices drew me to taking a closer look at the available items in her shop. I'm such a window shopper! I had vacation on the brain, because I knew we would be gearing up for our very long journey to Tulsa, OK from Salisbury, NC in a few weeks. I noticed that Renee had a very beautiful looking jewelry roll for sale in her shop, and decided to inquire about it. Renee kindly offered to send me on of her jewelry rolls to review while on vacation, and my excitement meter hit the roof! I couldn't wait to see the jewelry roll in person, because it looked absolutely cool from the pictures in her Etsy shop.

When my new travel jewelry roll from SomethingSeaBlue arrived, it was wrapped in white tissue paper, and tied off with a pretty blue ribbon. I loved the packaging. I sort of felt like it belonged under my Christmas tree! I examined the fabric, which is a lovely brown and white damask pattern on the outside and a pretty light blue on the inside. I love the contrast in the colors. For the closure, it has long green ribbon strands, which you just simply tie off.

For a small jewelry roll, it is an impressive size. I fetched the jewelry roll on Christmas Day Eve to pack up some of the jewelry I wanted to bring along on vacation. I selected about six pairs of earrings, one necklace and two bracelets.

Now, on the inside of the left side of my jewelry roll, Renee sewed very thin strips of ribbon on top of ribbon for the earring holders. There are small spaces just to tuck or loop the earrings through to keep them in place. I was able to secure all of the earrings I wanted to bring on vacation, and still had room for more. Below the spaces of the earrings on the left side of the jewelry roll are also thin strips of ribbon, but these snap into place, and have larger openings to secure the jewelry. I decided to place my bracelets in these spots. You could also secure a necklace here. There is an addition (identical) space like this on the top right side of the jewelry roll. Below this space, I found two shallow pockets, and this is where I placed one of my tangle-free necklaces. On the very bottom portion of the right side is a pocket that zips closed, which is where I decided to secure my pearl stud earrings. Those are the ones I absolutely don't want to risk losing! On the very left of the entire roll is a long tube-like form, which unsnaps to slip your rings over. I thought this was so neat! I don't usually bring cocktail rings with me when I travel, but now I might, because I have a great place to put them!

Check out some pics of my travels with the jewelry roll...

What I love about this jewelry roll is that it holds all of the jewelry I could ever want to take with me on a trip! I could even use this at home when my jewelry box is filled (and it is!)! The jewelry roll has three small loops across the top, which means that once I reach my destination, I can easily hang the roll up, so that all of my jewelry is on display and I can quickly and easily find what I'm looking for, or at least easily see all of the options before me! How cool and clever is that? This also makes it really easy for me to unpack everything once I return home from my trip.

I have loved using the small travel jewelry roll from SomethingSeaBlue! I quickly and easily packed the jewelry for my trip, had no problem rolling it up and securing its closure with the ribbon ties. It is soft, so it's 'crushable,' for packing, and it fits into small spaces, which I love! I haven't lost any pieces of jewelry from it. Every single earring has stayed directly where I first placed it, and I have been able to easily removed the pieces I've wanted to use and put them back when I was finished with them. I might just need to pick up a new piece of jewelry while on vacation to take back home!

I really do love this travel jewelry roll, and have been showing it off to everyone all week long! My husband likes it, too, because now he doesn't have to listen to me complain about all of my jewelry being jumbled or tangles when we're out and about! Every girl who travels with jewelry needs one of the jewelry rolls! They would make excellent gifts for birthdays, for Valentine's Day, for bridesmaids, etc! If you love jewelry, you will love this beautiful and functional travel accessory from SomethingSeaBlue!
