Weekend Carryalls

First weekend trip of the summer starts tonight after work– heading to Rhode Island for a graduation party and beaching with college friends!  I actually find it more difficult to pack for two days than I do for a week-long trip… so much I want to wear and not enough time!  I limit my packing by forcing myself to fit everything within a small duffel or tote.  It’s never easy, but I’m so much happier in the end with a small shoulder bag than a clunky rolly suitcase or oversized duffel.

These are some great sizes to go with for weekending, and what fun looks too!

Small Duffel in Blue Lagoon, Vera Bradley, $69 (select colors on sale!)

The Gardiner's Island Seersucker Acrylic Duffel Bag, Wm. J. Mills & Co., $130

Denim Beach Tote, Lucky Brand, $79

Jute Based Tote, CALYPSO St. Barth for Target, $14 (sale!)

Key-Per Duffle Satchel, Fossil, $98

Medium Weekender, LeSportsac, $98

Safe travels!!

Inspiration for these hippie-chic pieces? My celeb friend Kayla looking oh so flower-childish on the cover of the Boston Phoenix‘s Summer Guide!!

Despite the fact that they were born in the 60s, flowy styles adorned with feathers and flowers never really go out of style in my book– especially not in the hot summer.

Here’s my take on Kayla’s covergirl flair, including AE mocs, Free People crochet top and hair clip, and Lucky Brand stash bag.  Click the set for additional product details.
