For those overnight jaunts out of town, tote your essentials in a chic duffel bag.

I recently purchased a new Tumi upright hardside spinner. It’s light as a feather, glides gracefully along and allows me to pack just about everything I need for a weeklong trip. But when I’m planning for an overnight getaway to the desert or a weekend trip to the beach, the Tumi doesn’t really fit vibe (or in the back of my two-door convertible).

Enter the weekender. It’s light, compact and roomy enough to fit all 72 hours worth of outfits in. OK maybe just 48 hours worth, but hey, nobody said you had to just carry one, right?
