Travel Light Continued

  



I learned a lot from my last trip. Packing light is an art! I am looking forward to our next trip in December to Florida! Here are a few tips and tricks for your next weekend voyage!

So the leggings definitely were a good thing to pack; simple black leggings. I wore them on the plane and then again to go out to the bar with a thin black top (the perfect "I just got off a plane and even though I'm tired I want to party" look. I packed a pair of flat dressy sandals that I wore with the outfit, I also wore them to the pool, the winery and could have worn them to the airport because they are flat and comfy to walk in. I recommend these from Macy’s:

American Rag Madora Braided Gladiator Flat Sandals, Created for Macy's

American Rag Krista T-Strap Flat Sandals, Created For Macy's

Kenneth Cole Reaction Women's Lost Star Flat Sandals

 G by GUESS Londeen Embellished Flat Sandals

I doubled my dress from H&M as a cover-up for the pool. It’s light weight and has pockets (bonus!) Another great reason to bring a tote like the LV Neverfull, you can carry it as a beach bag! Once all of my clothes were put away, it was empty so I could throw my magazine and the Turkish Beach 
Towel from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071J1RPS7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and GO! (Unfortunately my dress is no longer in stock so here are some similar options:





The last thing I have to add is the knit vest. I wore it as a scarf, (above picture), used it as a blanket and as a pillow (was a little thin as a pillow but better than nothing). I got mine from Gabe's but here are a few from Gap that are similar. all you do to wear it like a scarf is put it around your neck (arm holes on your right and bottom of the vest on your left), thread the bottom through one arm hole and back out through the other. Adjust accordingly and you are done! Scarves keep you very comfortable on a plane and you have better movement of your arms if you aren't wearing a jacket.

Poolside Must Haves

So after my trip I found a few fun items needed for poolside... Turkish Beach Towel from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071J1RPS7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Inflatabull: https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Inflat-Bull-Inflatable-Pool/dp/B01KUL0CWY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506533254&sr=8-3&keywords=inflatable+bull Ice Cream Sandwiches: Choose a cookie and your favorite ice cream, one scoop and close with another cookie. It's great because as you lick the ice cream you can mash the cookies and it makes it easier to eat the ice cream in the middle

Heelusions

These have seriously changed my life! My husband and I are travelers, especially to Vegas. I tend to try to travel light. I don't like hauling bags through the airport or even from the car to the hotel room. Being a Fashion Blogger requires multiple shoe and outfit options so this company was the perfect answer to my dilemma. Now I can bring one or two heels on a trip and with their heel wraps it's easy to change the look of an outfit and get several looks! Below are a few of their "best sellers" and for more check out their website:  https://www.heelusions.com
