Labor Day is just around the corner and that means one more long weekend getaway before the end of summer.
I’ve been on the hunt for a weekender and this expandable travel bag from Longchamp might find its way into my cart. A zip insert allows this durable nylon bag to grow or shrink to fit your needs. It also has a removable crossbody strap, interior pocket (really wish Longchamp would add more interior pockets to their totes), and water resistant lining. As with all of Longchamps Le Pliage bags, it folds flat.
This travel bag is $255 for cognac (just a few left) or $265 for black at Nordstrom.

Maybe late so may have to post Monday – has anyone had a kid do the nutcracker? I’m debating whether to encourage DD to try out. It sounds like a great experience, but it also sounds like a huge commitment. She’s 8, FWIW!
