TIME TO PACK YOUR RAVE BAG
I am a big fan of weekender bags. I have always liked having them, but since I started going to events for two or three days, I have really fallen in love with these babies. Packing your rave gear is always enough of a struggle without having to lug around a giant suitcase, which is why weekender bags are so perfect. You get enough space to comfortably put a few days worth of outfits without feeling like you are packing for a year-long voyage, and their smaller size also limits you and stops you from bringing non-essentials with you, which if you are an over packer like me, also has its benefits. It can always be difficult to figure out what exactly you need to bring with you and limiting your bag size can really shape the way you think about packing. It might not sound like much but I have found that bringing a smaller bag forces me to really evaluate everything I’m bringing, which makes packing up after a long weekend and trying to get out of the hotel before check out, half asleep and half dead, a hell of a lot easier.
Another benefit of a good weekender bag is that they tend to make pretty decent pillows if you get stuck in the airport waiting for a delayed flight or are trapped in the back of an uncomfortable car on a long road trip. I have had a few naps in my life using my pink weekender bag as a pillow, and honestly, though it may sound pretty horrible, it beats trying to use a suitcase.
All jokes aside, as someone who has literally resorted to using trash bags to haul around festival clothes, I thought it would be fun to do a little shopping guide full of some super cute and super affordable weekender bags that will have you traveling in style…and not with a trunk full of trash bags.
STAR IDOL FUZZY WEEKENDER $48.00
Who doesn’t love something pink and fuzzy? This bag is super cute, and I am in love with the contrasting purple handles. If that wasn’t enough if worst comes to worst this fuzzy bag can double as a pillow if you get stuck in the airport waiting for your flight, which is always a plus.

SHAGADELIC WEEKENDER $48.00
While I really adored the lime green version of this bag, it is no longer available for sale on the website, but this baby pink is another excellent option for those of you who want something a little different. It is girly, big enough for two to three days of clothes, and can also double as a pillow in a tight spot (like when you're riding in the back seat on the way to a festival and want to take a nap).

SUN N' MOON IRIDESCENT WEEKENDER $38.00
This bag is gorgeous. The pearly sheen makes it stand out like nothing else I have seen, and the 'puffer' fabric is also going to make it...you guessed it, a super comfy pillow if necessary. I am in love with the iridescent trend, and honestly, this is a bag anyone should be happy to own. Besides, have you seen that price?

CELESTIAL ODYSSEY IRIDESCENT WEEKENDER $45.00
HOLOGRAM. HOLOGRAM WEEKENDER BAGS. I am obsessed with this bag, not only is it super spacious and perfect for a day trip, it is honestly going to be the easiest bag to spot at baggage claim you have ever seen, which is always the best if you are flying to your event and don't want to dig through nine million black bags to find yours.

MIDNIGHT SHAGADELIC WEEKENDER $45.00
As much as I love a good holographic or bright pink bag, there is something to be said for a classic black, although this one has a fuzzy twist. Honestly, there is something so fun about these shaggy bags that I couldn't help throwing two of them on here.
