Memorial Day Weekend (+ Summer) Getaway Bags

By

Can you believe that Memorial Day and July 4th weekend are just around the corner?! Summer is almost here, which means lots of weekend getaways and quick overnight trips. I don’t know why it seems so much easier to pack up and go in the summer season, but I love it!

After our recent weekend away in Vermont, I was looking through my duffles/totes and realized it was time for an upgrade. It’s so nice to have a grab-and-go bag that’s the perfect size to fit just the necessities for a few days, and I really needed a new one. I did some online shopping at a few of my favorite sites and wanted to share my tops picks for overnight bags. Key elements that I looked for: Stylish, sizable (but not HUGE), high quality, and at a reasonable price point. I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg, but you get what you pay for, and I wanted a bag that would get lots of use and last for a long time!

I hope these bag suggestions help you with your shopping and you snag one for a fun weekend getaway! Any guesses to which bag I ultimately purchased? 🙂

Tommy Hilfiger Classic Classic Tote Convertable Weekender Woven Rugby: I love the casual summertime look of this cute weekend tote. It has a convenient detachable shoulder strap, which is perfect for trips you might have overpacked or decided to carry light. The price tag isn’t too bad at $148, which might be a splurge, but it’s so versatile I could see myself using it for years.

Adidas by Stella McCartney Shipshape Bag: I love this combo of stylish (via Stella McCartney) mixed with sporty (via Adidas). The simple black and white goes with just about anything because, as you know, I’m super fashionable at all times and definitely don’t want to clash. I’m kidding, of course! But, for me, the basic colors make it easy to stay stylish without worrying about crazy color clashes. This bag also comes in pink and black, which is super cute. A slight splurge at $170, but I could totally use this as a gym bag, so it’s multi-purpose!

 

Lacoste Concept Travel Bag: How chic is this colorful bag? I’d love to use it for a romantic weekend getaway with Mal! 🙂 It’s a little fancier than the casual look I typically go for, but it’s definitely a beautiful bag. It’s also really roomy inside, so perfect for those of us who tend to overpack. At $120, it’s a nice treat to feel fancy for a weekend away. This bag also comes in black, navy, and orange.

Le Pilage Expandable Travel Bag: This is a super practical weekend bag for any ladies who love to shop on vacation and come back with more than they left with – or hey, you’re just an over-packer. No shame! 🙂 This bag expands and has lots of pockets to keep you organized. I always find myself digging to the bottom of a huge bag if there aren’t pockets to keep my smaller items nice and neat, so this bag really helps with that nonsense. It also comes in 9 colors, so lots of options! This is definitely the high-ticket purchase at $255, but you could always request it for your next birthday! Plus, it has so many awesome features, you’ll use it for years and years!

Sole Society Canvas Overnight Bag: I love this bag for its cute look and great price point. Who doesn’t love a deal! At only $75, this canvas bag could be dressed up or down to fit the occasion. My favorite feature is the separate bottom compartment designed to hold shoes you might not want to be mixed in with your clothes. It’s practical yet still stylish – my kind of accessory! This bag also comes in black and olive in addition to this natural color below.

Question of the Day

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
