It's OK to Go Shopping For Outfits Beforehand
Treat yourself, but only buy things you know you'll get use out of once you return. In other words, skip that embellished palm-tree-print dress and opt for a classic.
Plan Out Your Itinerary
Bloggers are typically busy with meetings or events when they jet-set to new locations, but it doesn't hurt to take a tip from their book and organize before you go.
Have at Least Some Idea of What You'll Wear When
Lay out your clothes and style outfits before you pack everything up. This way, you know what to reach for and aren't scrambling to put together something cute.
Invest in a Passport Case — and a Trusty Pair of Shades
The passport case will be easy to spot when it's buried in the depths of your bag, while sunglasses will come in handy in flight and beyond.
Customize Your Luggage
Whether it's with stickers or a simple ribbon, give your suitcase a personal twist so that it's easy to spot at baggage claim.
Make 1 of Your Carry-Ons Your Purse
Save room and don't pack your purse in your suitcase. Just swing it over your arm and take it with you on the plane, sticking all your essentials inside.
Definitely Bring a Backpack
It's important for those busy days when you want to go hands free.
Rock Something Comfy on Your Way There
Sweats, jeans, maxi dresses — there's a ton of travel-outft inspiration on your favorite bloggers' feeds.
Show Up to the Airport in Smart Shoes
Keep in mind you'll be doing a lot of waiting and walking around, and you'll probably be asked to slip out of those babies when you go through security.
Fill Your Bag With Items You'll Need to Get By
Including a snack — and change of clothes if you can fit it! (You never know when your luggage will get lost!)
Bring Outfits That Are Both Chic and Easy to Throw On and Go
Who wants to waste away a vacation day getting ready?!
And Definitely Be Sure to Bring Walking Shoes
Especially if you'll be sightseeing.
Layers Are Always a Good Idea
Not only will they come in handy in chilly temps, but you can tie that sweater or shirt around your waist later on, amping up a simple outfit.
Don't Forget at Least 1 Dressy Ensemble
And if you don't want to iron, make sure it's made of material that doesn't easily wrinkle!
You'll Need Cozy-Chic PJs For Bedtime and Lazy Days
It's OK to lounge around on your getaway and cancel all your plans. Just make sure to do it in style!
