Here’s my list for making a week away with one bag work<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"UTKellyColumn-copy-250x300\"<\/a>I\u2019ve written about my ability to pack for a week of vacation in a carry-on bag (incredulous, right?) in previous articles. \u00a0My family is gearing up for a cross-country flight to California and I could not be more excited!\u00a0 My husband is adamant that each of us will be fitting a suitcase in the overhead compartment so as to waive the hassle of checking and waiting for luggage in a crowded terminal.<\/p>\n

I agree with him (it does happen occasionally!).\u00a0 And, I have become somewhat of an expert when it comes to packing.\u00a0 First, I pick a shoe color: black or brown.\u00a0 My entire wardrobe centers on that selection.\u00a0 For this trip, I have a pair of sandals, flip-flops and a wedge espadrille.\u00a0 That\u2019s it.\u00a0 We are renting a house and will have the luxury of a washer and dryer, so I will throw in a few pairs of solid color shorts, a handful of summer dresses and some basic t-shirts.\u00a0 I do not leave home without a jewelry roll of brightly colored necklaces to liven up any outfit.<\/p>\n

\"Kelly\"<\/a>As for my make-up bag, I have included a picture of a smattering of choices for this excursion:<\/p>\n

\u2022 I always bring a bottle of nail polish (that I seal in a Ziploc bag to avoid accidents)\u2026in this case, Scotch Naturals in Paisley Martini!\u00a0 I simply cannot have a chipped nail when Hollywood is watching.
\nAlongside the polish are a few packs of Deborah Lippman remover pads in case I make a mistake.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I love to wear perfume but don\u2019t want to risk having my favorite bottle confiscated by security for being above the allotted ounce restrictions, so I usually take my Jo Malone samples that I gather every time I go to Nordstrom in the King of Prussia Mall!<\/p>\n

\u2022 I am dying over the cuteness of these mini-Longchamp-esque cosmetic cases available at the SouthernGoldCo on Etsy!\u00a0 Hello???\u00a0 They have a monogram!\u00a0 SOLD.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Last but not least, JCrew is collaborating with Bite Beauty beginning July 28th<\/sup> on a trio of lip-crayons in A-MAZING summer shades.\u00a0 I will probably be forced to buy all three\u2026but this soft hue of petal pink called \u201cSofie\u201d will be in the bag, for sure!<\/p>\n

Happy Vacation!<\/p>\n
