Summer is coming, which means: VACATIONS and GETAWAYS! However, before we arrive in paradise, we have to face the much dreaded, but inevitable process of packing. Everyone hates doing it because we have to plan out exactly what we need, and then to make sure we can actually fit it all in. This blog will save you from headache when you prepare for your next trip.

1. Choose your Carrier

Decide how much you need to pack, then choose a suitcase, a backpack, or a travel bag. Also consider factors such as accessibility when traveling with lots of luggage.

2. Versatile Pieces

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could transport our entire wardrobe to our travel destination? Definitely too good to be true, so the next best thing would be to pick some essential items that you can mix and match. My top 3 are: a maxi dress, your favourite pair of jeans, and some form of jacket/cover-up (this summer, open kimono tops are super hot).

3. Comfy Footwear

We want to look extra cute when we’re at a new place with new people, but when it comes to traveling, comfortable shoes are a must! Being comfy doesn’t have to mean dull because there are tons of gorgeous flat shoes to choose from: gladiator flats, ballet flats, loafs, colorful flip-flops, converses, etc. Trending hard this summer are jelly shoes FYI.
