Lo and Sons Catalina Bag

Lo and Sons Catalina Bag

I've been doing an obscene amount of traveling lately and built up my arsenal of travel bags and packing skills for sure. For quick weekend trips, I love easy-to-carry bags that fit a lot yet also allow for some compartmentalizing (so you're not just dumping everything into one giant vat). To celebrate the upcoming holiday travel season, I've partnered with Lo & Sons to give away this Catalina bag to one lucky reader ($120 value).

  508. Definitely the dove grey! My hubby and I just had a night away from our one year old and hope to do it again soon after the new year.

  511. Forgot to mention my destinations! It would be perfect for my frequent weekend trips to NYC and Philly where my family and lots of friends are

  514. Hello thank you for all your inspiring posts on this blog.
    I absolutely love the pale pine color in this bag! The Catalina seems super efficient and convenient for weekend trips. The size is perfect for carrying all your essentials.
    Thank you

  517. Definitely the grey. I absolutely love my other Lo and Sons bag and this one would be amazing to win.

  518. The do gray is gorgeous. I would love to bring that bag with me next time we take a trip down to Florida to visit family.

  520. Definitely the dove grey. As far as weekend trips, the next few are home to Dallas for the holidays. A trip to San Antonio in May to see a friend. One to Chicago in the Spring for a conference, a trip to New York City (for the first time!) in July with my peeps from grad school and a girls beach trip in August. I love to travel!!

  526. My favorite color is Dove Grey. Since I have a brand new baby, my next weekend trip won’t be for at least a few months, but I’m sure it will be a nice stay-cation at one of the resorts near where I live.

  529. The dove gray Catalina would be perfect for my trip to my parent’s house! I like to pack light, but I like to be organized!

  544. The dove grey color is beautiful and it would be so great for my next getaway (just booked one yesterday to New Orleans!)

  548. Love that dove grey — what a delightful bag! We’re heading home to Michigan, one of the best places to be in the fall.

  554. wow what great timing! I am leaving for my first trip overseas in one month! I would love to have this great bag as a carry-on. I really like the dove color one. Crossing my fingers I win this 😉

  555. I love the gray Catalina bag!
    I think I would be tempted to use this everyday.. since I carry my life with me, but over Thanksgiving I will be headed home – this bag would be perfect to carry what I need and would totally be the envy of my sisters and mom!

  557. I’m in love with the pale pine! Perfect for my upcoming Turks & Caicos trip in February. Or a quick business trip to Toronto Next Month. LOVE!!

  559. Hi Joy! I’d choose the pale pine. Feel like my clumsy-self would get dove gray too dirty, too fast. My toy-poodle, Benjamin Franklin Song, and I are already a huge Lo & Sons fans: http://instagram.com/p/agvD8SG5yw/ 🙂 My O.M.G. is the best go-to bag for everything – work, travel, etc. My next weekend travel destination will be Las Vegas during the 1st weekend in December. I’ll be there for the first time! Hoping for beginner’s luck! 😉

  564. Dove Grey all the way! We will be heading to La Quinta next and I could not imagine a better bag to travel there with.

  566. I’ve got family travel in the Midwest sprinkled throughout the remainder of 2013. The dove grey bag would certainly make packing enjoyable!

  573. i love the dove grey. our family will be traveling to Hawaii for 3 months and then somewhere in Asia for 2 months for christian missions.

  575. I love the gray as well. My next weekend trip will be to Michigan to see my family for Thanksgiving! 🙂

  576. The dove grey is beautiful. I am hoping to sneak a little weekend trip to the mountains this winter and this bag would be prefect!

  577. What a fantastic bag! My husband and I are always off on weekend adventures, and this would be perfect for our road trips. I’m head over heels for the pale pine color. I’d love to use it for our next trip home for Thanksgiving … or an upcoming reunion with my college pals in NYC.

  578. I love both colors but especially the dove grey! I have a fun chicago reunion weekend coming up in a few weeks, this bag would be perfect for traveling!

  580. Love pale pine (although both look great). I’m heading home to California in December and can’t wait. I’ve also been looking to replace my usual backpack, which is completely falling apart.

  581. I am hopefully headed to nyc for a holiday weekend before xmas to see friends/family and city lights ! I would love the pale pine for my travels.

  585. I love the Dove Grey. I travel once a month to Okanowa for work. I am redesigning schools on airforce / army bases.
    Thank you for the opportunity!!

  586. Absolutely love the Catalina in Dove Grey! My next weekend trip will be to SF for NYE. Very much looking forward to ringing in the new year with close friends.

  593. Definitely the soft grey… goes with everything and has a certain lightness to it. Traveling out west to LA next!

  594. I love The Catalina in dove grey. I like that the design of the bag is simple but chic and the hue is subtle so it looks great to tote around whether you’re going on a weekend getaway to the beach or the city. This would be a treat to take with me to my spa weekend in Sonoma County, CA.

  601. Grey would be perfect for me(a lady) and pale pine would be perfect for a man! My next destination will hopefully be London or HK, very different but very similar.

  610. I love both colors, but I’m thinking dove grey too! My next weekend travel destination is vancouver, bc! Great giveaway 🙂 Love your blog.

  616. I love both colors–can’t go wrong!
    Our next trip is to Texas with family, but I know that when it wasn’t being used for travel, I’d totally rock the Catalina as a diaper bag!

  617. I adore the dove grey. We’re taking a short trip up nort’ to Montreal this weekend and look forward to many fun weekend trips in the months ahead (Chicago, Twin Cities, Milwaukee, Seattle…). In other words, I could really use this weekender bag. 🙂 Keeping my fingers crossed!

  618. The grey is great! And I’d take the Catalina bag to our next weekend Catalina island vacay – seems like kismet!

  619. Love the pale pine. I would take it on a holiday getaway with friends and family to the snowy mountains of Washington state.

  621. I love the Dove Grey color. I will be taking many weekend trips to the North Shore of Minnesota this winter. The Catalina bag would be perfect for all of my winter hear and such things!

  623. I’d love the grey! We are traveling to South Korea for 6 weeks to pick up our new son. An extra bag would be so helpful…especially if it is stylish!

  625. I am loving the pale pine. It would be perfect for going back and forth from Seattle to LA during school!

  634. I LOVE gray… It will be perfact for me and kids stuffs to put.
    My next vacation destination will be NEW YORK city!! Yay♥

  635. What a great bag. The pale pine because I’m afraid the grey would be stained in an instant. A perfect little bag for trips to the Oregon Coast since wintertime is really the best time to go and watch the storms roll in. Thanks for the opportunity!

  636. I think the next trip will be a skiing jaunt up to Vermont! That bag definitely looks big enough for some cozy sweaters.

  638. I would use this bag every time I go away, even if a long trip! It is the bag I would take on the plane to carry the “must haves” in case my checked bag gets lost! Both colors look great, but the Pale Pine looks a little darker , so might hide soil better. Knowing me, that is a good thing!

  640. The GREY is lovely! I would definitely choose that one for packing up for a short weekend away to anywhere sunny…hoping for Santa Barbara, but its not confirmed yet.

  646. I LOVE they grey. It would be absolutely perfect for my upcoming trip — I’ll be spending Thanksgiving weekend exploring Boston for the first time!

  648. I love the dove gray, my next weekend trip is to the North Pole to see Santa’s toy shop. [ok, really to Flagstaff,AZ for the North Pole Experience – : )]

  664. I would pick the grey color. I am currently pregnant with our first child and my husband and I are planning a weekend getaway to Monterey before the baby is born so that we can have some final alone time before the bundle of joy arrives!

  667. I love the grey bag! I’ve done alot of traveling this Fall. I’m not sure where my stop will be, but I’d love to take this bag along with me. Thanks for sharing such a great giveaway!

  668. Love the Dove Grey! With the holidays coming up, I have a lot of travel scheduled in the next month between North Carolina, New York and the Dominican Republic.

  670. I would use either or depending on my colors for travel-but the Dove Grey is more in my color tone for my fall wardrobe -thanks for a chance to win

  671. I’ve been peeping on these bags since I saw them on pinterest! Probably yours! love the shoe section. Would absolutely love the grey one to take with me to DC to visit my best friend!!

  676. LOVE that grey. What a great bag. No weekend trips planned, but going to Mexico for the holidays! Woot!

  677. I love the dove grey, and I would take it to Central California with my little family, to visit Grandma Ginny!

  678. I just started a new job and will be traveling much more! I absolutely love the grey 🙂
    Also, I found your blog because I started one this year and was quickly doing a search on other bloggers/blogs named Joy. Check mine out sometime! I love all your colorful posts. Your daughter is so adorable!

  679. I love the grey! This would be wonderful on the trip I’m planning with my husband this winter – one of our first trips away from our 16 month old daughter. We can’t decide between New Orleans or Santa Fe.

  680. Your giveaways are the best. I love how you don’t make us sign up for a gazillion things just to enter. I’m listing over the grey and only wish I could have it before we leave for New York this weekend.

  681. The pale pine is perfect for winter! Would use this for my upcoming trip to France once my term ends. xx thanks =D

  683. I love Lo & Sons and this new bag! Like you, I like the grey color too. Our next getaway is in December to DISNEYLAND!!!

  685. Love the dove grey, but the pine would probably fit with the rest of my stuff a little better. in summary: both colors are as fantastic as the bag itself!

  686. I absolutely adore the Dove Grey Catalina tote.
    My next weekend trip will be up to the beautiful Hudson Valley for Thanksgiving.

  687. Love the dove grey also and my next weekend trip will be home to visit my parents for Thanksgiving:)

  689. omg I didn’t realize they had that color! that grey is perfection. I’m wondering which of their bags would be a good diaper bag?

  692. I love the dove grey bag. Perfect size especially when you have to carry a baby and her arsenal around. Going to spend the weekend with my parents in San Diego!

  693. Woah- that shoe compartment is smart. I too love the dove grey. My travels are taking me to the Mississippi River (Ill.-Iowa border) to see family for Thanksgiving, and then heading up north to Minnesota to visit the BF’s family for Christmas.

  695. I like the Dove Grey and our next weekend excursion is to Long Island for a good friend’s wedding at the beginning of December. This bag would be perfect since I’ll have two dresses in garment bags and just need something for day clothes, toiletries and accessories/shoes. Should add too — we’ll be traveling with our toddler and newborn, so there won’t be a shortage of kid-related goods taking up space … would be helpful to keep mom’s things in this nice, pretty bag like this!

  698. Oh LOVE this bag, especially in the pretty grey!) I get to go on a special over night date night downtown with my hubby for my birthday! Hey, it’s just a hour away in Portland, OR… but this girl will take it! Thanks bunches for the chance & lovely blog!!

  700. The dove grey is beautiful, and I’d love to take it with me on my next weekend trip to Bloomington, IN!

  701. I love the Dove Grey as well! Neutral perfection and LOVE that it zips. I have so many open totes that are a disaster when I’m racing to make a train or plane or when a car ride gets bumpy. Items everywhere!
    I would pack the roomy Catalina bag to the brim for my trip home to Rockport, MA for Christmas. I could actually use it as soon as next week when I travel up to Westchester, NY for Thanksgiving followed immediately by Hanukah (w/ my boyfriend’s family) in Westport, CT! Looks like there is PLENTY of room for my packing + presents. Yay!

  702. Both colors are great, but i’d have to go with the pale pine to help with dirt! oh man do i love the shoe compartment! that is definitely what my current bag is missing!

  707. I have been looking for a weekender bag for a LONG time. This fits the bill perfectly! It’s Dove Grey for me…no contest!

  711. I love Dove Grey. We don’t have anything set in stone, but hopefully we can take our twins somewhere soon.

  713. I would love the Catalina weekend bag! I am constantly traveling between NJ and PA to visit my family on the weekends and this would be PERFECT!!

  715. I would love the Dove Grey as it would be perfect for my upcoming short getaway to Valle de Guadalupe for wine tasting and the most delicious food!

  719. Oh goodness! I got so smitten with the color that I forgot to say where I’d take it! I would take it to Louisiana when I visit over Christmas.

  724. I love the dove grey! My next weekend getaway will be to Maryland to visit my in-laws for Thanksgiving.

  725. i’ve been doing so many quick weekend trips, this bag looks perfect to keep it all organized! the dove grey is my favorite 🙂

  726. My next weekend trip is to a cozy cabin in the mountains for skiing and catching up with friends in front of a fire with s’mores! This bag would be the perfect addition in my travels. I would choose the dove grey!

  730. I love, love, love the dove grey – this bag would be perfect for weekends visiting my best friend in Northwest Ohio!

  731. I love the pale pine. I’m going to Kentucky for Thanksgiving and would love to take the Catalina with me when I go. 🙂

  733. Every winter I try to get out of town as much as possible, so I could definitely make good use out of the dove grey. Such a smart travel bag.

  736. Love love the grey!! And –fingers crossed– our next weekend getaway will be skiing with the kids!!! I know, a weekender bag is wishful thinking, but I believe in the power of positive thought!! 🙂

  743. I love the dove grey and would use this for our weekend to San Diego at New Year’s…looks like it will fit all of my husband’s things as well.

  756. It’s funny.. I was just looking at this weekender bag, it must have been on Pinterest! I would love to win it in Dove Grey, however both colors are neutral and would be very versatile.
    I have a NYC weekend trip with my girlfriends coming up in December, this bag would be great for it!

  757. I would choose pale pine. And I would fill mine with flip flops and sun dresses and hit the beach. Or perhaps visit Orlando’s Universal Studios!

  764. Pale pine! And it looks like it’d be a more substantial bag than my current weekender which would be great to win.

  767. I love the Dove Grey and I’d take it with me to visit my boyfriend returning from deployment in Seattle!

  768. I love the dove grey! Our next weekend trip will be to San Diego to take our two-year-old daughter to the zoo. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  780. DOVE GREY! I’ m actuall going to Florida this weekend to visit family for thanksgiving. I’m also hoping to get a little beach time. Btw I absolutely love your blog! Hope you have a fun thanksgiving!

  783. I would choose the grey and our next weekend will likely be up to Northern MN by Lake Superior 🙂

  789. The pale pine is divine! I will be heading home to Maine for the holidays. This would be perfect!

  790. i have been searching for a travel bag like this! would choose the grey. our next weekend travel will be to Central California to visit my husband’s family for Thanksgiving.

  794. The dove grey color is fantastic. I’m hoping to take a trip out to the Oregon Coast before all of the holiday madness upends my life and eats at my time.

  799. Hurray for dove grey. Separate compartment for shoes what a cool idea. I can carry everything I need for my getaway!!

  804. I also love the dove grey! My next weekend trip will probably to visit some colleges before I make my final decision!

  805. The dove grey is so pretty! I’m heading to Scottsdale next, looking forward to some warmer weather!

  806. I love the way “pale pine” sounds – not usually how I pick bags but I’m going with it! My next trips are for the holidays, back to the East Coast from the Midwest where I recently relocated. I am SO looking forward to squeezing some people 🙂
