It’s time! We’re off! Up, up, and away!
At this moment we are heading to the airport, bags all packed and ready to go. I can’t believe this day is actually here. All my nights pouring over photos on the internet and soon! so soon I will see it all with my own two eyes.
I can hardly believe I got my act together to show you what I packed in my suitcase, but I did! And this alone is something to celebrate. I decided a few weeks ago to be bold and go for the carry-on approach, but had a little bit of a hard time these last few days narrowing down what I wanted to bring. I’m a tricky sort, because I’m one of those people who can pack for a weekend in NYC with just a small shoulder bag, but I’m also the girl who stuffs her car to the brim when driving home for the week. It’s like I know how to pack light, but don’t always follow the rules myself. For this trip, I wanted to pack light, but I also wanted to bring a lot of outfits. First of all, I love clothes, and second I feel like I need to be prepared for all kinds of weather. Will it be sunny or foggy? Warm or cool? So I packed a little bit of everything, rolled it up reeeeeal real tight and… I can’t quite believe it, BUT IT FITS {pretty much perfectly}. A springtime miracle if there ever was one.
Here’s what’s coming out west with me:
In my Everlane bag:
1 pair of jeans
7 tops
4 t-shirts
2 pairs of shorts
3 dresses
1 romper
1 skirt
jewelry / belt
underwear, socks, etc
bathing suit/cover up
make-up
In my Madewell bag:
wallet
iphone
sunglasses
camera gear
In my canvas tote:
ipad, kindle
hat
shoes // TOMS + saltwater sandals
Things I had to put in Zan’s carry-on because mine wouldn’t zip:
whoops!
2 cardigans
skinny corduroys
extra shirt for sleeping
{I tried to avoid this, but it couldn’t be helped!}
And of course, I’m layering up on my travel outfit to bring a few extra essentials:
leggings
striped tee
walking sneakers
sweatshirt
patagonia fleece
vest
rain jacket
{if you’re looking for me at the airport, I’ll be the girl sweating and loving it.}
So now I’m wondering, do you think I did an okay packing job?
A little excessive, but we are going for 9 days and at least I’ll be prepared!

Have a great weekend, and I’ll be back with photos upon my return!
