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!
