SPRING TRAVEL PLANS?

Going someplace WARM this Spring? If not, then just shove a big sweater and jeans in a bag and go freeze like you have been for the last 6 months. If you are like me and you were smart enough to book a warm weather vacation, then you'll want some tips on what to pack.

Lets start with the plane. I understand that people like to be COMFY (I hate this word as it relates to fashion - well primarily because it doesn't) but we still need to be presentable. There is nothing more revolting than an unshowered unbrushed sweatsuit wearing family wandering around o'hare with their pillows(because they had to wake up earlier than the rest of us)Mom is wearing her men's sized XXL cubs tees (for extra comfort) and might I say one word about gym shoes - "GYM" So, instead how about a pair of leggings, flats and a tunic - can't get more COMFY than that but you'll still look fashionable - oh and YES to the shower deoderant and brush!

Packing for warm is simple. 10 dresses (2 nice, 8 daytime knock around), 1 long sleeve white blouse - tunic length, 3 white tees (if you think you are going to dig around for your white tees from last year- forget it they're trashed!), 2 cardigans (wraps, jackets), 2 swimsuits, a beach coverup which is actually a cute dress, 1 neutral bag, 1 neutral sandal, 1 black sandal, 1 flip flop to match swim suit and DONT forget a beach/pool bag (they are easy to pack) - please do not tote your belongings around in a plastic hotel drycleaning bag that you found in your closet. Also, bring your workout clothes and all of your fun extra beauty products (teeth whitener, nail oil, hair masque, facial products, body & foot scrub) get some sun, eat fresh food, work out, beautify and you'll come home feeling great!

If you are going to Arizona in March (like we did last year) scratch this and see the first paragraph on cold weather vacations.

Happy Travels!
