Tips and Tricks for packing smart!

July 31, 2015

Have you ever just hated having to pack for a vacation? Obviously not hating the idea of a vacation but hating the thought of having to sit down and think and create list of everything you need before you leave town!?? Or you are like me and you completely overpack and look like you are staying for a month and not a week.
 This year I have made a pact for myself to go and try to be way smarter when it comes to packing even though I completely dread this process. When it was all said and done I felt that I made a huge step! SO I wanted to share some of my tips and tricks when it comes to packing for vacation! Hope you guys like this, it was really something different to do and I sorta enjoyed it!!!
Happy Friday Everyone!!!

My Bourbon and Bowties are pretty much essentials so versatile and work so well with everything in my
wardrobe! Same with my Giving keys and my Kendra Scott. I pretty much pack all the essentials! 
shoes are my hardest thing. I usually try to be smart no heels and no wedges! I also added
my tennies to the list because I try to do a workout at the beach!
These toms bags are the best thing ever! I go and place all my shoes on the bottom of my suitcase! I really
love these toms 
I press all my dresses and fold them, I usually do throw a bottle of Downy Wrinkle releaser
into the mix it helps me out big time! 


Shorts I keep them basic and fun. I usually add in simple staples to throw on with these shorts!
Really helps to make my wardrobe more versatile while I am at the beach! 


I decided to throw all my bathing suits into a bucket bag and it really helped big time with storage in my
suitcase!
