Happy Friday! We’re ending the week on a high note with a great roundup of easy travel packing tips that will help even the over-packers reading this. Plus we’re hosting a fun giveaway that we’ve been itching to announce with our friends at Mark & Graham. See that gorgeous white luggage in the photos?! The monogramed carry-on suitcase can be yours; keep reading!
I’m an over-packer. There’s no ifs-ands-or-buts about it. And when a work trip or vacation has me packing a small carry-on suitcase—or large suitcase, I always find myself packing and stuffing the thing until its overweight. But recently I’ve been studying up and working on a few key, easy travel packing tips that help me maximize that coveted space.
The most game-changing of all the travel packing tips I’ve picked up being the use of dry cleaning bags to eliminate wrinkles caused from folding clothes and them shuffling around in transit. Plastic is our friend with packing, people.
So as I’m literally gearing up to hit the road again today—see you soon, Ponte Vedra!—I’ll be implementing these seven easy travel packing tips I’ve outlined below.
On a side note, I am utterly obsessed with the look of this gorgeous white carry-on suitcase, and can’t wait to put it to use on my trip. Thanks to Mark & Graham, one of our lucky readers can win it and begin implementing our tips asap!
Simply enter the giveaway via the Rafflecopter widget below, and stay tuned for a great transitional flying outfit post on Monday! Truly, MKR
