Master Minimalistic Packing & Travel in Style
Anyone who knows me knows I absolutely love to travel. I will take a boat, plane, train or any form of transportation to get to that long awaited destination. One thing I have not always loved about traveling is packing for a week – or two or three – into one suitcase. This packing problem was a constant dilemma for me-until recently! I am excited to share with you the secret to pulling off minimalist packing: bring essentials without being matchy-matchy and invest in ‘one-and-done’ pieces.
Whether you are heading to the lake, beach, mountains, far off islands or that much anticipated European vacation remember to…
- Bring interchangeable staples
- Make a checklist
- Don’t forget a LWD (little white dress)
- Wear a pashmina, bring a sarong
- Bring your own entertainment (iPad, iPhone, ear buds)
- Sunscreen is a must
- Take versatile shoes
- Layer, layer, layer
- Stick to a color scheme
- Stay cool in the shade with a hat
- Chic starts with the shades
- Never pack for rain
- Carry travel sizes of your favorite beauty products
- Bold accessories make a big punch
- Wedges win
- Roll instead of fold
These key summer travel must-haves will ensure you never get stuck at a cocktail party with nothing fancy enough to wear and you won’t spend a day sightseeing in your favorite heels. Put your best foot forward no matter where your compass takes you and always enjoy the ride. Happy Trails!
