Travel Light


  

  

            

Tomorrow me and the girls leave for San Francisco!!! I was trying to make this an inexpensive trip and since we are only gone for the weekend I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to share with you my tips and tricks for traveling with a large purse as a carry on.

First find a large purse or bag. Like my favorite "daily driver" from Louis Vuitton. I am like Linus with his blanket when it comes to this bag! If you don't know, it's called the "Neverfull" and for good reason. Never full but always heavy is what they should have called it. I am constantly amazed at just how much fits in the GM.

I've learned that a scarf keeps you warm and cozy on the plane without the fuss of trying to get it off in your seat if you get too warm. I am taking with me a knit vest that can be wrapped like a scarf. (double duty).

When I pack, I typically try and bring items that I can wear several times. Such as:

1) leggings to wear on the plane, to sleep in and if I might be exercising (this is always the plan but I never end up working out on vacations).

2) practical shoes something that can be worn to a club, around town and if extra space is needed in my bag, something I can walk through the airport in and not fall flat on my face.

3) one basic color this will help you mix and match pieces easily and get multiple wear out of your small weekend wardrobe. Think "capsule wardrobe." For example, I am wearing black leggings with a black tank top. The vest I mentioned earlier can be worn as a vest, a scarf, I can wear the all black attire with a different scarf or a t-shirt over top.

Stay tuned for more tips and photos when I get back!

Gray Goddess

                                            I really need to order these before they are gone! I've gone in my shoe closet several times and black sandals are too dark, nude sandals just aren't quite right for the outfit and for some reason I'm weird about white sandals (working on breaking my uncertainties) Here is the link for these hot Summer sandals! Save me a pair in 9 please, lol. https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/hobey-gladiator-sandal/384864?cm_mmc=CSE-_-GPS-_-G_Shopping_Sandals-_-New_Sandals&cadevice=c                                                   I am SERIOUSLY in love and stalking this maxi/romper!

My Little Bathroom Nook

              My little bathroom nook is finally complete! We been in the cottage for 5 months now and when we moved in it was the beginning of the shut downs so it was like just get moved in and deal with getting settled later! When we moved in it was a plane storage closet with the electrical box. I can't even remember if we had shelves or not. We purchased a little plastic 3 drawer storage box on wheels from Meijer and that was about it. We put an accordion door on it so we could close it (out of sight when we had guests). But honestly mid party I would realize we had forgotten to close it and our junk was still in sight! So here we are several months later, about to start on the main house but at least I finally finished this to enjoy the last few months or so while we are still living in the cottage! Pink Washcloths from Target because our old ones met  their fate from a pen in the washing machine. DIY TIP: If you have a bottle that you...

My Little Gray Cape (Trench Coat)

I am LOVING this cape for Fall! When I bought it I thought, 'ok this is going to be cute for the beginning of Fall when it's not super cold, then I'll have to layer sweaters under it and still wear a coat.' But just wearing it for the short time we did this shoot I was sweating! It's perfect for Fall nights, long car rides, plane rides, anything where it gets chilly but you want to be able to throw it off to use your arms. I can't wait to wrap up in it all Fall/Winter long and be nice and cozy! It also comes in Black so I may have to own 2 bc I have a feeling this will be a staple piece in my wardrobe! (Perfect too for formal occasions, verses a coat; yep definitely need it in black!)                                                                                  ...
