Amber's Packing Guide 101

#1. Plan a fabulous trip to somewhere fun
#2.Thoughtfully plan out your trip so you know what activities to pack for
#3. Look up weather conditions and prepare yourself wisely
#4. Write a detailed list of outfits and accessories to pack
#5.Give yourself ample time to pack, plan and launder clothes
#6. Wish you could take your own advice
As always I waited until the very last minute to pack, do laundry and print up all my confirmations. I was running around like crazy this evening trying to get everything together! I got my tooth brush, under garments and hair brush...but knowing me, I always forget something super important! I tried to plan outfits but I am SURE when I get down there I will NOT be happy with what I packed, it always happens. Since the flight down to LA is only 45 minutes I just like to bring a carry on and cram all my stuff into a super cute neon green bag that Casey used when he commuted down to LA every week. Well we will see how the outfits go this weekend!
The pile of clothes I grabbed. My only concern was that I could wear them with black shoes, since I only have two shoe options .
And my plane outfit all ready for me to throw on at 5:30 am. Why did I go for a cheap ticket rather then a reasonable time??
Ready to grab and go!
That's all she packed! A duffel bag packed to the gills, purse full of boarding passes, and rent-a-car and hotel confirmations, reading material and my lap top! I will be blogging down there =)
Well at least I was all done before the Tosh.0 season premiere! Watching it now =)
No time to post a Look of the Day today but you should check out Andi from saltwater dreams outfit =)

  5. Haha, you sound like me. I ALWAYS FORGET THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. Thank goodness its usually when I roll down the driveway, but then I hafta trek all the way back to my condo to get it. Ugh. Plus I always hate what I pack. Everything looks good when I pack it in the suitcase but when I get ready to go out, I hate everything.

    I hope you have a great time in LA, can't wait for your future posts!

  6. I'm impressed that you wear boots to the airport. I always choose the easiest shoes to remove. I do have a toddler strapped to me though. AND, that's why you're a fashionista and I'm not! =D

  7. You fared better than I. Last time I went on a plane I packed a duffel bag just for shoes. Seriously, they weighed it - 20 lbs. Sigh.

  8. Lol, I do the exact same thing. I can not believe you fit everything in that small duffle. Oh well, people DO wear smaller clothes in LA ;)

  9. I have the same Joie paisley top that's in your pic as your plane outfit. If you get a chance can you post a belated OOTD pic to show how you styled the shirt? I need some inspiration on how to wear mine.
    Thanks
