Yesterday I jumped over to the west coat for NYFW. My outfit pretty much mirrored the above as I snuggled up on the plane somewhere between LA & NY.

True Story: I packed for my 18 day honeymoon in a Tumi just like the one above. It is possible! I recently heard from Megan, who is jet setting to Rome then Capri in a few weeks where temperatures are expected to hit in the low 50s {brrr!}. While packing for chilly weather can be tough, it’s all about layers! In effort to squeeze everything in her carry on, I suggest you carry on your coat and try to pack as many mix and match options as possible!

Aside from wearing the above to jet set across the pond, here are a few other packing tips to travel by:
A good friend recently wrote in as she’ll be traveling to Isle Mujeres in Mexico for 3 nights with the girls and wants to know what to pack on a budget! I thought I’d share a few tips and travel staples that every wardrobe must have!
Tip for the traveling Damsels on a Dime:
- Keep your style simple. No need to run out and buy all the latest trends. Great style can be accomplished with the simplest black dress and heels.
- Switch up last year’s swim suit by purchasing a new bottom, or top {not both}. Most bikinis are sold in separates.
- Invest in a Chambray Shirt. It can be worn with anything and everything. Toss is over your bikini with shorts, wear it over a dress to change the look or wear it at night as a light jacket.
- Stick to one shoe color! This will save space and help narrow down your outfit options. Plus when you arrive at your destination, everything can mix and match well.
15 Travel Staples:

We jet-setted over to Aspen this morning {insert crazy excited screams here} for the holidays. Traveling from a warm climate to cold is already a bit tricky. I hate, repeat: hate carrying bulky coats on any plane so I avoid it at all costs. My heavy duty winter coat is stored in Aspen and even if it weren’t, I would rather pack it in my bag than carry it on. So when we fly to Aspen I try to bundle up my head and toes and try to get to the house as quickly as possible. William & Polly were my best accessory during today’s travels, which you can see photo’s of via Instagram!
