The last trip I took was a work trip — to the shows in Paris. I always pack light. It's amazing how much fits into the Weekender. I actually saved room to bring shopping finds back with me. I packed the essentials: 2 jeans, a dressier trouser, and comfy casual-yet-fashionable cargo pants. I brought black tops because I can dress them up or down, plus good walking shoes and a nice pair of flats. Other essentials included a small brush, small travel toiletries and makeup essentials including: foundation, lipstick and blush. I take the Timeout city travel books with me, and I pack a small emergency kit and travel slippers. Just in case the weather changes and gets cold, I have a packable down jacket with me. Last year I went to the north of Spain where the weather is quite unpredictable — it was sunny one day and the next day it was hailing, so the down jacket was perfect. And I always carry my Jetsetter Duffel for short 1- or 2-day trips. I love it! — Maricela Palacios Brighton Designer — Live Love Travel Collection
