Travel Time!

in a little less than a month i am going to be visiting my best friend in North Carolina...
now, don't get me wrong... i LOVE traveling... especially the planning process of packing and making lists... i love it so much! but what i don't like is traveling to a place with uneasy weather...
this is what the weather report looks like for when i'm there...


kind of all over the place right? well at least i know i will probably freeze in the evening... (i am a BIT dramatic, but i do live in Southern California after all)... so here is my packing list...

Spring Time in NC!


  • i try and stick to a mute color palate and then spice it up with touches of pink... everywhere... 
  • my plan is to bring two purses, one small and one medium sized... 
  • i always ALWAYS ALWAYS prefer to travel with just a carry-on. always. 
  • i am going to ship some things that i wont need till im there (shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, root pump, and contact lens solution... because of those darn TSA regulations
  • i make sure to increase my accessory options... thats the easiest way to spice up an outfit...
  • i carry my jacket. this is one of the biggest things... super helpful!
  • even though i like a lot of options for what i wear, i prefer to bring just about an equal amount of tops and bottoms...
  • i make three lists
    • my itinerary: the day i leave, the day i get back, and anything to prep for the trip
    • outfits: if one item is only being worn one time... out! i also take pictures of outfits to make sure i'm not wasting space by bringing anything extra
    • packing list: i put every. little. thing. on that list! nothing escapes it! it makes packing everything up so much easier!
well if you are traveling soon, let me know! i love listening to where people are going and what they will be doing there! happy thursday!
