All I Want For Christmas | The Weekender

J.Crew continues its winning streak with another fab designer collaboration, this time from Canadian leathergoods brand Want Les Essentiels de Vie. They've swapped their traditional leather for organic cotton, making the bag lighter on your shoulder as well as your wallet. This one looks like a winner for the trip over the (Hudson) river and through the (Dutchess County) woods, as it's designed to hold all the plaid and selvege denim you'd need for a long weekend (hence the name - 72 hours).
Want Organic for J.Crew Da Vinci 72-hour bag, $695, jcrew.com (available soon)

Nice Specs

The chilly fall weather may be upon us, but that doesn't mean designers aren't already looking ahead. Getting a slick upgrade for spring are Riley frames from Oliver Peoples, a classic horn-rimmed style I've sported since I was old enough to say "designer eyewear" (by my estimation, age 8). The clip-on addition is retro-chic and surprisingly useful. Check out Elijah Wood modeling them for the Resort/Spring 2010 on oliverpeoples.com. (Via Selectism)
