I'm always, always asked what to pack when traveling. I thought I'd share an actual packing list and many links, so there should be a little something for everyone! Enjoy.

The Day Of
“The goal is to be comfy whilst looking put together and not bringing more stuff and getting through security fast — i.e., no belts, jewelry, or complicated shoes. I usually wear Raven skinny cargos for comfort, a nice (read: not sloppy) tee, and a cashmere sweater. I wear laceless Keds, so they’re easy to slip off at security. But you can still wear little hidden socks.”

Great list! I'm taking a vacation/cruise in October and I'm already starting to make plans what to bring with me. Minimal packing this time around :)
ReplyDeletePerfect items for a little getaway! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! This will come in handy when I'm packing for a trip to CA in September!
ReplyDeleteAwesome items;).Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteI always print out a big list like this when I'm packing:-) Especially these days, when they charge you an arm and a leg for every bag: gotta be efficient! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI just love this! It seems like every time I pack I always look up tips because I always over pack.
ReplyDeleteSomething new that I have been trying when I leave town is knowing I can just pick it up when I'm out of town. I'm not going to place where they don't have tooth brushes. lol
Fabulous list! I'm always on the go and I wholeheartedly agree with all of these items :)
ReplyDeleteWow, going through your list made me realize how many things women must pack for trips. hehe... i like the Real Simple list too, thanks for sharing. Your blog is so cute.

ReplyDeleteSomething to keep in mind for traveling, normally I just toss everything that looks important into a suitcase last minute :D

WOW!! I'm pretty much going to steal this for my check-off list for the beach next weekend! Thanks! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am always overpacking for everything. This is a nice list. I hope you do one for winter travel too (cause that stuff is bulky and hard to pack).
ReplyDeleteP.S.I am from South Florida (around Ft. Lauderdale)

What great packing tips! Now if you could only suggest a way to avoid that $25 bag checking fee. :)
