Fall is typically the time travel plans turn from far-flung to weekend getaway. Herewith, our packing guide for the short haul.
This MEC Fast-Track 2 Rolling Duffle is sturdy and smooth. Lots of compartments (including one for business cards) so beauty products can be safety stowed away from your favourite cashmere scarf. www.mec.ca
A bottle of shampoo exploding is annoying, but a bottle of wine exploding is a disaster. The JetBag packs does double duty: functioning as a "diaper" for the bottle, it protects it from jostling and rough handling and, in case it breaks, absorbs up the liquid. Take that, conveyor belt! $16.99/3, http://www.thejetbag.com
To give your face a little life – without hauling make-up tubes that can melt or explode in your purse – and slip Mai Couture Blush Papier into your bag. Light as a feather, simply pull out a sheet and press it to your cheeks for a rosy glow. $19.99 at http://virtzubeauty.com
Planning to spend a fair amount of time in the car? Don’t rely on your "summer jams ’09" remix to get you through the long stretches – download a few podcasts, like Here’s the Thing with Alec Baldwin, the always-interesting David Sedaris on This American Life and up-and-coming comedy writer and actress Chelsea Peretti (not safe for younger ears).
A button-down top is essential for low-maintenance dressing and we love this plaid version from Dace. Wear it open with a tank top during the day then button up and pair with skinnies (or, ok, sweatpants) at night. $210 at www.dace.ca
