Capsule Wardrobe: Holiday Travel

Sparkle! Snuggle! Dash, munch, and toast! The Holiday Season is always such joyful chaos! This time of year can be so unpredictable, parties and gatherings can pop up at a moment's notice. Between the events, you are running errands. And the time at home is spent catching up with loved ones while sipping on warm drinks and whipping up baked goods. As Christmas approaches, many of us will be making the journey to our loved ones. Creating your Holiday Capsule Wardrobe will require a little more creativity to ensure you are appropriately dressed for everything.

What I Packed: Capsule Wardrobe for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

I do have an adventurous spirit but sometimes you just need to get away to relax.  For the last few years, I try to hit up an all-inclusive resort for some well-deserved R&R. So I guess you can say by now I have become a packing pro (you can check out my Packing Basics here). For this trip I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for my uncle’s wedding. I am usually on the East (Caribbean) side of Mexico, so this was a new experience!

The Life Emergency Kit

After many mishaps over the years, I have learned that it’s so much better to be prepared. I am a MEGA klutz so I’m constantly staining, ripping, tripping, etc. etc…So I never leave home without my “Life Emergency Kit!” Keeping one in your day bag or car is a great habit to get into.   You will find that it will make your life so much more convenient and probably save you from some pretty embarrassing situations.

Capsule Wardrobe: The BUILD

Summer ushers in a season of trips, vacations, and adventures! So I thought it would be a great time to introduce the Capsule Wardrobe and challenge you to travel light this summer! In the past I used to over pack like I was going to be away twice as long as I was actually going for. I’m a girl who likes options, you know a different outfit everyday…gotta think of those photos! Today I have become a little more savvy and efficient when it comes to packing for a trip without sacrificing my choices.

When travelling, I’m always trying to pack light. They only way to do that is to find items that have more than one purpose to cut down on the things you need to bring. No matter what side of the world I go to, during any season, I ALWAYS bring this accessory with me because of its functionality and style.

Traveling Toiletries

I never neglect my hygiene regardless if I’m at home or away in another country or staying over at a friend’s place.  I always like being prepared just in case the things I need aren’t available where I will be staying.  So just in time for your Thanksgiving travel, I will show you how to pack your toiletries for that long weekend home! 

Packing: Casual Weekend Away

This weekend I went up to the lake with some friends to pay our respects to the death of summer.  *Siiiiigh.  Since we are in-between seasons, I have to be prepared for the beach as well as the cool temperatures. September can’t figure out what the hell it wants to do!! Is it cool? Is it hot?

Packing Frenzy

I’m in PANIC MODE!  My Spain trip is quickly approaching and I can feel the pressure.  With 3 weeks left until take off, I started my packing process last Sunday.  I try to give myself no less than 3 weeks to gather all the things I’ll need so my head won’t start spinning as we come down to the wire.  So after having the initial overwhelming feeling for the task at hand, I take a deep breath and follow this guide to ease the stress…and to make sure I don’t forget anything.
