I often like to fantasize about being whisked away from my daily life to some luxurious getaway. Lately, I have been thinking I should have the “if you build it, they will come” mentality.As such, my new mantra is: “if you buy it, it will happen”. 

My new outlook on my own destiny had me thinking about getting some new luggage for my anticipated travels. I would love to purchase a chic little ‘weekender’ tote that would hold all my stuff for a last minute getaway to Rio, or Paris; always Paris. For instances of an unexpected getaway, this Yves Saint Laurent “Downtown” Large Tote would be perfect. Right now it's available at Bluefly for 20% off and with 3% Cash Back. This bag is chic, understated, and big enough to hold all of the essentials. Really, nothing says jet-setter quite like Yves Saint Laurent.

And when my travels take me somewhere a little more rustic, this Tumi “Voyager” Weekender will be a suitable companion. Priced at $450 at Bloomingdale's (save 20% on purchaces of $250-$499, as an Insider), this bag is stylish, practical, and ideal for any voyage near or far. So whether I am traveling to the British countryside or to a cabin in Nova Scotia, I will be stylishly prepared for anything, equipped with my faithful weekender tote and Cash Back in my pocket.
