This week I will be in Palm Springs, San Diego, and LA. Going to three different spots it is hard to make sure you pack everything and get it all to fit in your luggage. Here is my packing guide and how to make it all fit.
What to pack in your carry-on:
In my carry-on I usually pack my valuables and anything I will need on the plane or immediately when getting to my destination. My carry-on list is as follows:
*My carry on bag is
here (eyeing this one
here too)
*Noise-canceling headphones for the plane (
here)
*My Cannon Rebel Digital Camera for blog and travel pictures (similar
here)
*My expensive handbags (two of my favorites
here and
here)
*My expensive jewelry (some favorites
here and
here)
*Sunglasses (including these
here and
here)
*Any medications, vitamins (hair vitamins
here), lip balm (
here)
*Expensive Makeup that is allowed through security (here are two favorites
here and
here)
*Chargers and and portable chargers (
here)
*My Laptop and iPad
*Extra set of clothes, extra panties and bra……just in case my suitcase doesn’t arrive when I do 🙁
*Swimsuit (eyeing this one
here) and beach towel
here)
*Extra pair of sandals (two favorites
here and
here)
*A book (currently reading
this, next
this)
For the suitcase I check (found
here) I add in the rest. This seems to be a favorite suitcase of many
here.
All the clothes you will need. I try to limit this so that the bag is not too heavy.
*I take one pair of jeans (my favorite right now are these white denims
here)
*Always have a pair of leggings (favorites
here)
*One pair of heels for nights out (Loving these
here)
*I also make sure I have an extra sweater (
here and
here)
*A pair of gym shoes (eyeing these
here)
*All my clothing I plan to wear (I make sure I plan out by day with one or two extra option just in case. I do this so I do not over pack. Taking a lot of dresses for this trip because the weather will be nice. Two of my favorite dresses are
here and
here.
I try to pack this strategically so that it is organized and and everything fits. I store all my makeup and skincare products in a cosmetic bag (favorite
here and
here). Put my shoes in shoe bags (
here and
here). I roll my jeans and leggings so they do not take up too much room. I fold up the rest of my clothes and place them on one side of the suitcase on the other I put the shoes and then my makeup bag on top of the shoes. I put under garments and night clothes in the front zippers and use the top zippers for anything else or to store my dirty clothes though out the week.
One thing that I always do is add an identifying piece on the outside my checked luggage, such as a ribbon because with so many suitcases at baggage claim it is easier to spot yours.
What are some of your packing tips that work for you? I have also link some of the items i mention above and some of the pieces I will be wearing this week below. Hope you enjoy!
