In just a few days, I’m finally jet-setting West. Ahhh Paradise (in the shape of a tropical oasis in the middle of the desert) ☀️🌴👙 So, I’m going to share with you how to pack carry on regardless of the time of year, places and activities you may be visiting 🛬🐫 🏜 🐍

Most of us have a beautifully curated everyday wardrobe, even if we don’t want to admit it!! So we should have a thoughtfully curated wardrobe away from home. This ensures you have a smorgasbord of options for any potential event or venue.

By coordinating the entire contents of your suitcase, all pieces mix and match, which makes it easy to create an outfit on the go, or elevate your look from day to night 👠💃🏼

If you consciously pack (more than an hour before your flight) I assure you, you will save space, time and money. I suggest rolling all of your pieces and stacking them neatly in their designated corner with their fellow items, pack intimates inside ziplock bags and stuff them into shoes and hats, and place all jewellery into a drawstring bag and store it in the side pocket. I use the outside pocket for (smelly) shoes 👟 and the interior ones for hair and makeup💄

By packing like this, you don’t have any unnecessary items, and have a plethora of options for different occasions. You have an organised and fully accessible wardrobe (on wheels) making it much easier for quick wardrobe changes for the duration of your trip.

Plus you have saved space, reduced your bag size and the risk of excess baggage. Who wants those unnecessary costs at the start of your trip!! ✈️ 💼 🙅🏼‍♀️ I’d rather a few extra cocktails 🍹 Pina Coladas anyone??
