Traveling… Always so fun but when it comes to packing, lets face it, we all get stressed. So here’s a few of my fave things that make traveling a little more delightful. First of all, you can’t go anywhere without lip balm. My favorite kind is the “black tea and blackberry” from Jack Black. I also carry an Emi Jay hair tie because you never know when you may need to throw your hair up trying to get through security… we all know that’s always a struggle. Along with the hair situation, I constantly have a Banded headband with me just in case. Another favorite of mine is  a little pouch to keep all my necessities in because who wants to dig around in your purse trying to find an Emi Jay, to be honest that’s probably how I loose mine. Last but definitely not least is a mini-emergency kit. Friends let me tell you I cannot go anywhere without this handy thing. Whether you need a bandaid, hairspray, earring back, or even sewing kit… this has it all.

Now what to wear while traveling 101 by… well, me. When I travel I don’t want to look like I have just rolled out of bed but I do want to feel like it. Traveling comfy is the way to go but how in the world do you do it? I usually where leggings and a cute tee with a cardigan or sweater in case the “hot flashing” lady next to me on the plane needs the air on full bast. Pictured above I am wearing a comfy “need coffee” tank (describing me extremely well on those 6 A.M. flights) with a sweatshirt cardigan. On the bottom I am wearing these great leggings with a skirt overlay which I have fallen deeply in love with. As far as shoes go, flats are my favorite to wear because I can easily slip them off going through security while being a little fashion forward.

So there are my favorite things to take and wear while traveling… check back in next week to take a look into my duffle and what to bring for the trip itself.
