Diary of a Traveler Addict

June 3, 2013 10:01 pm , Leave a Comment , Resor Shop

I am always seeking for inspiration in every corner but unfortunately, sometimes that’s not enough. Changing scene always helps with the process and my addiction to travel has always been latent in my heart. Although we can’t always go somewhere far and exotic, by going somewhere that we’ve never been to or rarely go might do the trick. Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to take a mini vacation to New York. It wasn’t my first time in NY but every time I go, I try to do something different to keep it exciting but always revisiting my favorite places like Central Park. If you follow us on Twitter or Instagram (@Resorshop) , you might have seen some of the pictures taken. During this trip, I did many things that many touristy people would do and many things that locals people would do but more importantly, I got the chance to just sit, sip my coffee, relax, and write on my journal while enjoying the wonderful weather in Central Park. The first day at Central Park was a relaxing affair but the second time, there was a fair and it was completely different and fun experience. This time around in NY, I decided to walk as much I could instead of taking the subway or taxi. It really gives you a chance to discover the city instead of missing it by taking the subway or a taxi. I went through small streets and streets that were blocked to traffic but open for pedestrians. I found more bars that I could ever visit in all my trips combined to NY and each of them more unique than the next one.

On this trip, I packed light and by that I mean one medium size bag where I managed to squeezed clothes, my Traveler’s Notebook, an iPad for work, and my camera. I took a Canon T3i, a 28mm lens, and a UV filter. I managed to take all photos with one lens. I was glad I did not take more lens since just the camera itself was heavy after walking all day. Anything becomes heavy after walking all day. I was tempted to take a second camera but I though about it and decided not to.

It was a great trip and a great change of scene. Did I mention I love traveling? Maybe my next trip will be a further location!

Yours truly,

Diana

We are happy to announce that the ROBERU Card Cases are in! We have them in three different colors: Grey, Brown, and Navy.

The card cases utilize Roberu’s original camel upholstery around the interior, yet around the exterior are treated with a special dye-based oil to give a soft, shiny finish. Despite their size, these cases have several compartments for all of the necessities, and an easily accessible outside pocket. Finished off by a rather tasteful brand imprint around the exterior.

A little bit about this bag:

Customizing Midori 020. Kraft File

April 4, 2013 7:51 pm , Leave a Comment , Resor Shop

We love everything Kraft (if you haven’t noticed yet) and when Midori came out with the 020. Kraft File, we immediately got a rush of ideas of what to do with it and how to customize it. We love using the kraft file to collect all the tickets, boarding pass, stickers, or anything we came across that we wanted to save. Some of us drew on it, some went a bit crazy with the stickers and stamps, some even attached an eyelets with string to keep this baby tight so nothing could escape! How did you customized yours?

We are currently not carrying the stickers but if you are interested, let us know and we will add them to the store!

ROBERU iPhone 5 Cases are back!

March 23, 2013 5:57 pm , Leave a Comment , Resor Shop

ROBERU iPhone 5 cases are back and in two additional colors! We added green (more like moss/military green) and black. The colors tends to vary a little bit but they will certainly acquire that “vintage” look after usage as all good leather.

We are really impressed that this case not only adds style but it certainly protects the phone. If you don’t believe, just ask one of our “tester” how many time has she dropped her phone on the street.

Check them out here.
