What is your #airportstyle? How do you decide what to wear? Do you go for pure comfort, or plan for an IG-worthy #OOTD?

My airport style is all about comfort and functionality.  I always wear something oversized for comfort while sitting, flats for slipping on and off and a large carry all that can hold my necessities.

When overpacking is NOT an option, how do you decide what to leave behind?

I typically pack by the outfit, not just miscellaneous pieces.  If I just threw all of my favorite items into a suitcase, I would look like a crazy person for what I would be able to put together.  The only thing I ever leave behind is something that might be taking up too much space and I could possibly do without, such as a hairdryer (you can always use one at the hotel/resort) or a bulky piece of clothing that you can take out because you packed layers.

Outfits: How do you plan your outfits for your trip? Do you buy a whole new wardrobe for the week? Do you pack a variety of looks so you have options depending on mood, itinerary, etc.? 

I typically know the outfits I’m planning on wearing and for which night/occasion before we leave.  I definitely purchase a few new things, but always take staples that are closet necessities as well.

Any tips/tools for organizing and fitting as much as possible in your suitcase?

I am not the best at this, but a few tricks I do use are packing items inside your beach bag, rolling bigger items like towels or sweaters and using shoe bags for holding intimates.

What are your top 3 cant-live-without items when traveling (aside from the obvi: toothbrush, phone charger, underwear, etc.)? 

A hat (summer or winter), face moisturizer and a fabulous pair of heels.

What’s in your carry-on or handbag? 

A light weight blanet, a travel organizer, a hairbrush, face moisturizer, chapstick, my ipod, Listerine strips, a fashion magazine and a change of clothes.
