Packing Tips

First, you want to make sure you pack a little purse or book bag for the plane. I always bring a little book bag and then put my purse inside that or in my suitcase so I have more room for snacks and books. Here’s a list of items to put in your purse/book bag for the plane ride:

• iPod and Headphones
• Books, Kindle, Magazines
• 100 Calorie or other portioned snack packs – Perfect size for the plane!
• Journal and pens – doodle or write a list of things you want to do on vacation
• Wallet with money, ID, etc. (Easy to find in your bag)
• Sunglasses
• Hand Lotion (Travel bottle)
• Small hand Sanitizer (Especially when on the plane… I use this religiously!)

Then, I bring a carry-on for the rest of my packing needs. Inside, I have a Modella case for my makeup and hair supplies. I got mine at WalMart and I love it! It’s soft (rather than hard plastic) and it fits nicely in my bag! Also, it’s important to have a carry-on bag with wheels – trust me, you don’t want to carry a heavy duffel bag around huge airports. Your back will thank you.

That’s just a little overview on what I like to take with me and how I like to pack. Now let’s check out some cute outfit ideas for vacation!

Outfit 1

Shirt, Shorts, Shoes, Belt

This outfit is perfect for traveling! The sandals are easy to take off at the airport (bring socks in your purse if you’re germaphobic), and the shorts and tank top make this outfit easy and breezy. The brown belt and fedora had add a nice touch, and keep this outfit stylish yet still comfortable.
