Sequin Duffle Weekender

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)

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

I have the deux lux one in the middle! I love it so much, but my dog chewed the handles! I have to get it repaired!

I’m SO tempted to just bite the bullet and snatch one up! So pretty!

Ah so fun! I have such a thing for weekender bags and obviously such a thing for glitter. Might need one of these…

If you had bare legs, would the glitter part give you a brush burn?

Looks so not comfy to me

I am a under-packer and an over-shopper. I mean, you will just want to wear the new stuff anyways…why haul stuff you neve end up wearing? And repeating the perfect outfit multiple times is no biggie!

They’re so gorgeous! I especially love the middle one. I think the DIY idea is great. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work :) Actually, I think I’m going to give it a try! Thanks so much for the inspiration :)

I would LOVE one of these for my gym bag (I know) – they’re flawless.
