Sequin Duffle Weekender

April 13, 2012 | 10 Comments

Next Sunday, the hubby and I will board a plane for Israel (SO excited.) For weeks now (months even) I’ve carefully planned what I would bring, what I would need, the outfits I’d wear, and so on. Trouble is, I haven’t actually organized the things to bring, shopped for the items I want, laid out the picture-perfect outfits; instead, we’re a little over a week away from our 10-day jaunt and I have nada.

Perhaps most importantly, I’m nervous about the right-sized carryall. I always bring a carry-on that tight-rope-walks the line of being “too big for the overhead compartment” and I usually have to make sad eyes at the flight attendants to allow me to “carry on” my body bag. But I can’t stand a small carry-on. Truth be told, I don’t even carry all that much on, it’s all of the shopping and bringing-back that requires the extra baggage room. #necessary

I’ve been in love with the Kate Spade Westward Runaway Duffle* for months now, but it is woefully out of my price range and sold out. I spotted the Deux Lux sequin-dipped duffel a few months back as well, and I’m admittedly pretty smitten!

1. Kate Spade Westward Runaway Duffle; marked down from $1,295 to $647

2. Deux Lux Felix Weekender Duffle; $137 (Medium duffle here)

3. Deux Lux Ipanema Canvas Large Sequin Duffle; $78 (Ipanema tote here)(Also, try the Key Largo Weekender, the striped Baha Weekender, or the Striped + Sequined Weekender)

I actually have this crazy idea that I could DIY a sparkly duffle with a bit of painter’s tape, lots of glue, a paint brush, and a whole lot of glitter. Too risky?

*The word “duffle” is driving me crazy … is it “duffle” or “duffel”? I googled and got both! Even the brands seem to be having a spelling identity crisis. Deux Lux on varying websites is sometimes “duffel” and sometimes “duffle.” #EnglishMajorProblems

Hi, I’m Lexi. Sometimes lawyer, full-time blogger, mama and wife. I pride myself on being tacky and pray the paragraphs I scribble on the back of napkins will morph into a bestselling novel (or series … I wouldn’t complain.) I have a Type-A personality in overdrive, wear too much black, love all things over-the-top, books and glitter make me weak in the knees, and I can't stop buying impractical shoes. This blog has become my dream job. I now style shoots, create content for brands, and offer consulting for businesses and bloggers looking to utilize a blog and/or social media to grow their brand or online presence. I’m SO glad you’re here!
