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!

Must-Have Maxi Dress

Dress: Shein
Tote: Herschel
Earrings: Mod & Soul
Watch: JORD (c/o)
Wedge Espadrilles: Sammydress (c/o)

There are so many reasons to love wearing maxi dresses, but if I had to pick just one, it's the fact that you can wear one all throughout the year. The length makes it ideal to transition even for cooler months. At the same time, the casual feel and style makes it great for summer time wear when you want to stay cool but chic. I just recently added one to my growing collection and it's another one from Shein.

Wedge Espadrilles: Sammydress (c/o)

The print might be a bit reminiscent of summer fashion but the fabric is extremely comfortable you'd want to wear it all year long! The cotton blends fabric was truly a welcome surprise! I love its comfy feel especially in this crazy season we're having wherein the days are extremely humid and the nights are extremely cold (due to the rain!). Hence, this maxi dress is a must-have in my book. I can wear it as is on those hot and humid days, or layer with a denim jacket or cardigan on cooler days!

How to Style: Denim Overall

Dress (worn as top): Shein
Denim Overall: Sammydress (c/o)
Tote: Herschel
Sneakers: Converse
Watch: JORD (c/o)
Earrings: Kenneth Jay Lane

This denim overall outfit post is a long time coming. Since I've seen denim overalls pop up in various online shops, I knew that I had to try my hands on this trend. Since I am shopping for items to bring with me to an upcoming vacation, I saw this as an opportune moment to get my first denim overall as I deem it would be comfortable to wear during my travel.

Sneakers: Converse
Watch: JORD (c/o)

When I got this denim overall from Sammydress, I knew I wanted to style it with a casual look. Denim and Converse is a no-brainer. This combo is just so easy and effortless, especially during travel. The top that I layered the denim overall with is actually a dress. I haven't worn this in a long time and I wanted to make use of it. It was fun and therapeutic at the same time to do a bit of digging through my closet. I think I need to do that more, especially since denim overalls are so versatile and there are so many tops that I can think of wearing it with. 

I would love to showcase another way to style this denim overall. I'd love to get your insights and tips on how to dress it up?

Weekend Escape

Whenever I'm headed to a weekend travel (or even a sleepover), I used to over-pack! No, let me correct that, I over-pack wherever I go. I like to have one or two extra outfits, just in case. But I am slowly learning the art of packing smart (although I still have a long way to go!). Packing essential items like a maxi dress, flats, and basic tees I can mix and match is going to ease up my packing woes. 

Dress: Shein 

Denim Shirt: Shein

Bag: Herschel (other duffel bag options here) 

Flats: AMI Clubwear (c/o)

With a weekend getaway in sight, I have decided to come up with this look. A maxi dress is always an essential in my book, especially for chic travel outfits. Therefore, I decided to top it with this denim shirt from Shein to make the outfit look effortless chic without compromising comfort. My new duffel bag from Herschel also makes for the ideal weekend getaway bag! It might not look big enough for a getaway but it is quite roomy on the inside. Therefore, I am totally in love with it because I hate having to lug around a huge bag - not stylish at all! Sadly, this color has sold out but you can find more travel bags from Herschel here.
