On packing...

Because I have a crazy mom and because I am beyond happy that in 5 days and 8 hours I shall be leaving to France, I am packing already. The problem is, I am carrying TOO MUCH STUFF. And it's driving me nuts. I looked in the internet some packing tips, and I don't see any that could help me.

They say for example "only take the clothes you'll need". Um, I am going to France FOR A YEAR, I guess I'll be wearing pretty much everything I own. And I'll be needing lots of shoes. And I bring beautiful and way-less-expensive-than-in-France towels and bed sheets. And a DVD player. And 2 pots.

So honestly, my advice would be... Pack everything rolling all your clothes and filling all the gaps with underwear, and then wear a sexy shirt and in the airport, go to the guy in the counter and smile broadly and smile even more. A lot. A push up bra wouldn't do bad to anyone either. Some lipstick and mascara, and hop! You're ready to travel!

But if you're traveling for a short period of time, The Universal Packing List may come in handy :)

  1. Don't forget to wear slip on shoes and not carry liquids in your hand luggage. I hate going through security with heels and a belt!

  3. I suck at packing too!! I could not imagine packing for an entire year!! I have like one suitcase and a carry on when I go on vacation for 9 days nevermind a year. I wish I could offer some tips, but anything I could offer would probably be a bad tip.

  4. Hahaha, you're hilarious :) My advice would be to wear your most size consuming outfit .. if you're carrying big running shoes, wear them .. a big sweater, wear it .. a wedding dress, wear it. LOL, I guess my advice saves you luggage space but it may also be a hassle if they make you take off your shoes at security. And you may be sweaty on the plane with that sweater. And the guy at the counter might not be impressed, hehehe.

    Good luck packing, Beautiful !
