As with everything when you do it enough in life, I've learned quite a lot when it comes to traveling and packing. For me, there's really only one simple rule and it's this: carry-on only. Too many bags have been lost and found by various airlines (a disappointing 24 hours later) and when you're traveling on a tight schedule, waiting for baggage claim is just not efficient. I travel light, and it's made my travel significantly easier. The packing? Not so much. :)
Here's what I've packed in my under-the-seat carry-on for my November beach vacation:
- H and M Snood: The perfect throw-over-your-shoulders solution for cold window seats on the plane
- Macbook Pro: Recently encased in a clear shell by Speck
- iPhone
- Stella McCartney Sunglasses & Case: My go-to pair of late
- Various rings and bracelets and their own protective pouch
- Hair claw
- Reading material: Elle had just arrived, so it was the lucky one
- iPad: Are three forms of wifi-capable, blogging-enabling gear really required? Absolutely! :)
- Packable Fendi beach bag
- Lanvin heels for resort dinners
- Caudalie Beauty Elixer: Recommended by a friend, it does wonders for post-airplane "air"
- Ahava lotion: To battle the dryness
- Estee Lauder Bitten Fig: This red shade is on my lips 75% of the time, the other 25% I'm wearing Revlon's Wild Orchid (bright pink)
- Kiehl's Lip Balm: A must when I'm on the beach
- Eclipse gum: Always fully stocked at home
- Keys
- Louis Vuitton Clutch / Purse / Crossbody bag / Wallet: It does it all and it's compact. No brainer
- Lo and Sons O.G. Travel bag (courtesy of): This is the ultimate travel bag (and yes, it fit all of the above plus my DSLR camera!)
