Travel Chic

Happy Monday All!

This is a super popular time of year to travel so I thought it would be a great time to share my anatomy of the perfect travel outfit. Whether you are beach bound, Europe bound, or are headed for a quick weekend get away it is very important to be comfortable. But, I think so is looking put together.

First, a comfortable top. By calling this Barefoot Dreams poncho "comfortable" it would be an insult because it is so much more than that. One of the softest things I've ever owned. It's easy to take off too which makes it great for travel. Next, these high waist "jeggings" have basically changed my life. They are also so soft! I could live in them. When it comes to shoes I always try to take a pair that will go with everything and then wear them to my destination. They take up much more space than flip flops in the suitcase. I feel naked if I don't have a watch while traveling so my Michele is perfect for dressing up or down. Finally grab a hat (because packing it may bend it), your sunnies, favorite weekender/carry on, and a good book!

Fast Packing Tips:

Roll your clothes instead of folding. You'll fit way more and they don't wrinkle as easy.

When choosing clothes, stay within the same color palette so that everything goes together.

Back On The Grid

Hello there! 

To say the least I have had A LOT going on in the past couple of weeks and really needed to focus on a few other things. My workload right now is crazy! Hence my hiatus. But I'm happy to be back. If you don't follow me on social media the big news is I quit my job to work full time with mine and MK's photography company. I'm very excited, especially to have the time to make a nice dinner and eat it before 9:00 pm haha! 

So now that I'm back I bring with me this months favorites!  

 May Favorites 

I feel absolutely rejuvenated and have been putting in some serious kitchen time and have been diving head first into some fantastic cookbooks. So be ready for some awesome recipes. One more thing, I can really get my DIY on and have some pretty cool things planned. I'm excited to share my new life with you guys!

p.s. Thank you for the overwhelming support with my recent career decision. I've gotten so many sweet words and they mean the absolute world. You're all wonderful.

Preparedness

It seems there has been a tone set this week with having your act together. I have always felt that it was so important to be prepared. As much as possible. Because if it's one thing I've learned it's that the unexpected can happen at any moment. In my desk at work I always have a "Just In Case" bag. You never know when there will be a random rip in your clothes, stain, headache, or an "omg I'm too tired to make it through the day" moment.  

 I'm always adding and taking away from this list so feel free to personalize this list to better fit your needs. Here is what's in my 911 bag: 

  • Hairspray
  • Lent roller
  • Floss
  • Bobby Pin (I can't tell you how may times this saved me!)
  • Excedrin  
  • Emergency Nail Polish and Lips
  • Travel Wrinkle Release 
  • 5 Hour Energy
  • Bobby Pins
  • Nail File
  • Tide Pen and Wipes  
  • Body Spray and Perfume (depending on the situation)
  • Face wipes
  • Ponytail Holder
  • Pen
  • Deodorant
  • Toothpaste

Not pictured:

  • Tampon
  • Toothbrush
  • Sewing Kit

If there is one thing for you to take away from this post it's to carry a saftey pin. I'm not kidding. Do it.

Happy Monday All! Have a wonderful day!
