1. When it comes to packing for vacation what’s your mantra? I always bring extra options. I pack for unexpected weather and often for unexpected occasions, such as a couple of dressy looks even if I don't have plans for a dressy occasion. I also like to make sure I have pieces that are easy to remix so I'm not repeating outfits, but I don't have to pack extra bags. And probably the biggestone two for me is PACK EARLY & MAKE LISTS!! I always, always pack a few days to a week early... I'm kind of crazy... I pack and re-pack and then re-pack one last time the night before. I also make a big, long list of every single thing I need. This helps me with shopping pre-vacation, and with making sure I remember last minute essentials that I can't pack too early such as chargers and curling irons.
2. What are your must packs? This summer I must have: bright colors, maxi dresses, wedges, fun prints and hats!
So tell me, what do YOU love and what do you loathe about packing for vacation??
Have a fabulous weekend!!

3. What are you happy to leave behind? I'm really not dying over shorts. I've never been into wearing shorts unless they are running shorts. I am more of a skirts/dresses lady!
4. Any packing secrets that help you get everything into one suitcase? I roll many of my items. That helps save space in my luggage, and minimizes wrinkling. Some other space saving ideas are stuffing socks into shoes, and using travel-sized toiletries rather than packing your huge bottle of shower gel.
5. Beach reading… what are you taking with you to read in the sand? I have to have magazines and chic lit books!! Those are my guilty pleasures!! I also like to have my Bible and/or devotional books {Bible is pretty heavy and large to pack} and too actually stimulate my mind, I like to bring something educational. Usually my educational read has to do with child development/psychology.
So tell me, what do YOU love and what do you loathe about packing for vacation??

I roll, too! Best packing secret ever.
ReplyDeleteLike you I make lists, plan my packing weeks ahead and start packing a week before, and still I always bring too much stuff! But then I also like to be prepared for whatever occasion might turn up:)
ReplyDeleteI'm a big planner when it comes to packing, list are a must do !
ReplyDeleteLove your 'Must Packs'. Agree with them completely! Nothing says vacation better than a big hat and a maxi dress.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny that you make detailed packing lists a few days before the trip. I thought I was one of the few people that did that! I always get into trouble by doing that since I always find the need to go shopping for new items on the list! :)
ReplyDeletehaha, I know! When I make lists there's ALWAYS something I determine I need to buy! So glad I'm not the only nerd making lists though! ;)
ReplyDeletetotally! the maxi's are a must! thanks for visiting my blog! I hope you'll come back soon!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya!! There's nothing like being prepared!
ReplyDeleteOh, I make lists too! How could I forget about that?
ReplyDeleteAnd you roll your clothes too? Uhmmm...I never did...but EVERYONE is swearing by it. I think I have to try it next time. :)
Yes! Try it!! :)
