Roundup: Perfect Weekend Getaway Bags

in the spirit of the holiday season (also sometimes referred to as the incessant exhausting travel season) almost upon us, i've been thinking a lot about travel plans. one thing i've been trying (key word here is trying) to implement in my life is a packing discipline to help myself limit the amount of shit i bring with me when i leave my house. while i haven't mastered it yet, i think i've found the key to slowly forcing myself into minimalism: it's called the weekender bag.

when i travel, on the morning of the departure you can usually find me sitting, standing, and/or bouncing on top of my zipper-stretched suitcase trying to shut it. and this is BEFORE i leave for wherever it is i'm going- where i will inevitably acquire a new thing or two along the way. i recently came across this pic of Blake and Ryan looking effortless AF traveling with those rustic leather duffels and i just knew this was the answer.
