How To – Live Thru The Lens

I have a reputation for overpacking…

Whether it’s an overnight trip or a week-long getaway, packing can sometimes be overwhelming! To decide what items or garments to pack, consider the occasion and type of trip you’re taking. Some of my packing tips to share to make travel easier 📩:

Choose a lightweight compact carry-on suitcase. I chose my Delsey Paris Helium Aero 21″ Hardside Expandable Spinner, and I did not have to expand.
Make a packing list – write down everything you need by category and check it off as you pack – clothing, essentials, toiletries, and tech.
Plan outfits in advance and focus on versatile mix-and-matchable clothing, complimentary color palette, light layers, and check venue dress codes. Also, pack shoes that provide versatility, comfort, and style. Wear your bulkiest clothes and shoes on the plane to maximize space in your carry-on.
Roll your clothes to save space and help minimize wrinkles, place folded clothes and items on top of rolled items.
Leave the ‘just in case’ items at home to avoid overpacking.
Waste No Space! Fill the gaps with small items that can easily fit into the empty spaces- socks, underwear, laundry bags(lightweight), belts, etc.
Pack travel size toiletries in a hanging toiletry bag. I used my Tumi hanging bag because it’s lightweight, durable, and sleek.
