ll bean.

this may be the dorkiest post ever, but here goes.

my travel (and love) mate has this bag in yellow, and i want it for myself.

my weekender bags are these awkward things i bought back before our first trip together. we went to cape cod, and i thought the bags were so cape cod.

now, they're so not comfortable or convenient. they make packing a bitch and are not nice to my shoulders.

so i'm looking for something easier and more throw-it-in-the-bag casual.

this is where ll bean comes in. particularly, this bag.

only, obviously, i can't get have it in the same color. because he already has it.

so, green. what do you think? or maybe i like royal. or even navy.

and i think large is the way to go. (there's also medium — a carry-on size — and extra large, so this is actually medium.)

any reader suggestions on all of this? i know you're very concerned about me making the right decision.

UPDATE: on second thought (four seconds later) he doesn't have the rolling duffle, i don't think. but maybe i want that. although the non-rolling variety is amazingly cheap.
