It’s August 1st and that means there are exactly five weekends left (including Labor Day) before the official close of summer. Either you are the type of person that has had their summer mapped out since April or you’re like me and awoke this morning wondering where the heck summer had gone. To my credit, its been sunny and 80 degrees in Austin since March. Nonetheless, the carefree spirit of summer is fleeting; so it’s time to get up and go!

Packing for any sort of trip can be tricky but packing for the weekend takes talent. It all starts with a great bag and in this case size does matter. The Weekender by Everlane is pretty close to spectacular. Made of sturdy cotton canvas with longer leather straps so the bag fits comfortably over your shoulder, The Weekender is perfect for those three day trips where the last thing you need to worry about is having too much stuff. What I love best are the four classic colors it’s available in—making sharing with my husband a breeze.

Still not sold? Everlane’s Weekender is $95, available at everalane.com.
