new york vacation: what i packed

July 9, 2015
Every summer I spend time in New York with my family for a week or so! I am so excited to take you along with me {of course through my Instagrams and Tweets!} while I am away. I also hope to use my camera a lot for outfit pics and I will try to post as often as I can. While some people love to pack for vacations, I actually only enjoy the unpacking part. Packing is a challenge for me–mostly because I end up packing too much, not packing the right things, and forgetting important items. I decided to take photos of what I was packing to make it go by faster and to give myself a mental image of what I am bringing. These are the actual clothing/accessories in my luggage right now! I brought more than just these things, but I wanted to keep a few special items out of sight so I can use them in future posts! Check out a few key {& affordable!!} items that I am definitely packing…

    Just found your blog but I gotta say, so far so good! lol
    Loved everything you packed but I gotta say one thing.. you like unpacking? You're literally the only one I've heard say that (or in this case; write it) but I wish I was the same x

      I am so glad you like it! Haha, it must sound so strange that I enjoy unpacking! I think it's because when I get home after my vacation I know exactly where everything should go, so if I don't immediately start it will take me weeks to get things out of my luggage 🙂 Keep following along for more! And if you have Instagram or Twitter those are two wonderful places to stay updated.
