Must-Have Weekender Bags

If you are a travel junkie like me, it is important to have a weekender bag in your wardrobe. A weekender bag combines comfort, functionality and style. Therefore, it is the perfect choice for women who like to stay on top of their style even when heading out for a weekend trip or getaway. It is a great bag to carry around for those spontaneous trips too. Whether you travel by car, train or plane, this bag is a must-have!

Above are two of my favorite weekender bags that I currently own. One is from Deux Lux, which is an oversized tote that can carry my hygiene kit, makeup bag and a few clothes (maybe a couple of tops and bottoms, or a few dresses). Despite being so functional, it can also fit into your stylish outfits like this casual preppy look. The other one is from Herschel. This is designed for comfort and durability. It might not look big enough but it has surprised me with how much it can carry! I've featured this duffel/weekender bag in this post. 

Meanwhile, here are some other fashionable weekender bags that you need to add into your wardrobe, if you do not own one yet!

Fash Love: Handbags Galore

Do you always feel the urge to shop for bags of all kinds and sizes? Do you pick your handbags according to mood? If you answered "yes", we're on the same boat. If you answered "no", then you're in denial. LOL. 

Handbags are one of those that I enjoy shopping for. To be honest, buying clothes and/or shoes can tend to be a frustrating experience when you 1) can't find something in your size, or when you 2) can't find the color or cut you want. But with handbags, it's always fun and exciting! Just imagine my delight when I browsed Bag Inc's site one day to check out new designs.

Celebrity Handbags for Less

I am guilty of following celebrity fashion and trends but that does not mean that I give into the impulse of buying expensive items, especially if I know that I can get similar items for less! Us, ladies, are very particular about our handbags. There has to be one particular style for every occasion or look. However, there is no need to go broke because I stumbled into some equally fab but cheaper alternatives to be in style!

Five Bags Every Girl Must Have

Finding the right bag is essential for both fashion and function. Your choice of bag also speaks a lot about you. Hence, women feel the pressure of picking the right bag to go with their outfit without compromising on its function. But there is no need to hoard bags as all you need are five bags and you have something for any occasion or use.

Everday Bag

This bag is just that - ideal for everyday use and for every occasion. This is the most practical buy because it helps you keep looking stylish at work, while browsing the shops at the mall, or when having a dinner date with your man. For this reason, it is best to choose a bag that comes with a solid color (preferably a basic one) so you can pair it with anything and you're good to go.

Overnight Tote Bag 

This is another basic essential - a bag that is big enough to carry your basic stuffs for an impromptu overnight stay at a friends' house and yet chic enough to travel with style. Go for this blue leather tote bag from Bag Inc., priced only at $119.

 Clutch Bag

 This is the ideal bag for women who like to carry only the barest of essentials such as their makeup kit or phone. This is a great bag to use during daytime and also transitions well into the night.

Sweet and Spiky Studded Navy Blue Clutch, $37

 Cross Body Bag

The versatility and functionality of this bag is beyond belief. This is the perfect bag to use when you can get your hands full because you can simply place it across your chest and you won't have to worry about anything. At the same time, it does not look any less stylish, too.

Little Brown Postal Bag, $26.50

 Statement Bag

This type of bag is anything but classic. As the name implies, it creates a statement and leaves quite a lasting impression on others. Be careful when choosing a statement bag, though. You have to have the right attitude to wear them instead of the bag wearing you!

Fash Find: Peacock Beaded Clutch Bag from The-Artful-Bag

I am very particular about the bags that I use, so if you happen to
check out my closet, you'd discover that I've stocked up quite a few
of them. I always get the raised eyebrow from my boyf whenever I spot
a new bag and show enthusiasm because he thinks I have way too many
bags already.. but any girl knows that you have to have a bag for
every occasion (do I see nods in agreement over there?).

So, when I discovered about The-Artful-Bag via their Twitter account, I just got
intrigued. I paid their website a visit and was blown away at what I
found. A few years ago, I must have stuck with the classic leather
pieces that are bought mainly for utility – you know, the bag that can
carry all your girly essentials to survive the day. But the pieces I
found at The-Artful-Bag are just too cute to resist.

This Peacock Beaded Clutch Bag, in
particular, caught my attention. Peacocks are known for their
beautiful and colorful feathers; hence, you can expect the same with
this uniquely styled bag. The vintage colors and bead details render a
classic feel to this bag, yet its use of bold colors also make it
ideal for modern women of today. The satin lining, meanwhile, provide
a delicate touch that makes it a good fit for an evening soiree or any
corporate gathering. If you put this bag on, no doubt you will be
turning a few heads!

If you would like to take advantage of their free worldwide shipping
offer on all products, make sure to head on over to The-Artful-Bag
website here to get more info.

 
They have an extensive selection of luxury bags, such as beaded clutch
bags, Swarovski  crystal clutch bags, or stain clutch bags, so you can
pick one according to your taste and the occasion. Indulge in a luxury
bag frenzy that are both world-class in quality and extremely
fashionable!
