Hello friends welcome back to my channel
if you're new welcome my name is
Christine so if you guys saw a couple of
weeks ago brand and I were in Italy and
south of France for a month and I got so
many questions on how we packed for that
trip and we are actually headed on
another one month adventure to London
Paris New York and then Miami so it's
another four week month long trip and I
thought I would share some of my best
Packing Tips I've learned while packing
for my trip so let's go ahead and Dive
Right In so the luggage I'm actually
using is from Manos and I actually have
been really enjoying this a lot of you
guys were asking how it compares to my
way and I actually really really like
the monos
quite a bit more affordable than the way
is and it's super sleek and beautiful so
I really enjoy I'll go ahead and Link
all of my like makeup bags luggages all
of the little like things that I talk
about down below so I already packed my
skincare and makeup and I'm a big
skincare and makeup girly so I just
cannot pack light there but when Brennan
and I were in Europe for a month we each
only did one check luggage and I also
had it carry on with me and it lasted us
the entire four weeks that we were gone
in Europe so for me it's the most
important to pack as efficiently as
possible and to bring obviously as many
items as I want to bring and make use of
everything that I bring in the least
amount of luggage one big packing tip
that I learned is to stick to a color
story and bring layers so think scarves
button-ups Cardigans any type of thing
that you could layer on top of each
other or wear alone as its own separate
piece I also have started to experiment
more with accessories because a thick
chunky scarf can really change up a
whole look and makes it look like you're
wearing something completely different
and it serves another purpose of keeping
you really warm as well so for me I
usually plan on my outfits I'll actually
come up with an outfit for every single
day and take actual pictures on my phone
and that kind of forces me to bring only
multi-purpose items Cardigans sweaters
pieces that I can wear multiple ways
shoes that can be dressed up or down and
a big tip for me is that if I can't
style it three or more ways I'm actually
not going to bring it so while I'm
putting together my outfits I actually
end up pulling a lot of items that I
originally planned to pack because I
couldn't outfit them enough so we need
to save space for things that we're
actually gonna wear and by taking
pictures throughout my trip if I like
run out of inspo or forget what I wanted
to wear with like a circus I actually
have pictures to help me remember as I'm
kind of packing my stuff I'll start
pulling out my heaviest layers and this
leads me to tip number two and it seems
obvious but it is to wear your heaviest
layers so headphones shoes jackets coats
nine out of 10 times if I'm bringing my
Doc Martens I'm gonna wear them because
those are by far my heaviest shoes so
wearing all these layers to the airport
and struggling just a little bit allows
you to pack a lot more stuff in your
luggage or leave space if you are gonna
go shopping also obviously it depends
what season you're traveling in this
season Brian and I are going obviously
in the winter so we're bringing a lot of
thermal layers tights gloves scarves a
lot of different layering pieces in hot
weather I'll actually bring more silk
Linens and a lot of button-ups because
those are really lightweight and
breathable but also serve as good
layering pieces if it does get a little
bit cooler at night and then generally
speaking when I'm packing I don't bring
a lot of denim because denim is very
very heavy and if I am gonna bring like
baggy jeans or something like that I
actually put them either in my carry-on
or wear them to take away some of the
weight I also am bringing another
carry-on with me and I actually put my
leather pants and jeans in here and most
of my purses as well actually all of my
purses because I want those to stay with
me at all times and then if I ever do
any shopping if I pick up any designer
pieces those are all gonna go it may
carry on to that for the most part is
like mostly empty to allow for the
shopping that I'm gonna do so that
brings me to tip number three to avoid
over packing and my biggest tip is to
under pack because worst cases you wear
the same outfit or piece multiple times
but if you're like me and you like to
shop you want to make sure that you have
space to do so so four brand knives four
week trip in Europe we actually only
pack for two weeks so I only made sure I
had 14
day's worth of outfits with me and that
way that accounted for if we wanted to
re-wear any of the outfits if we wanted
to borrow each other's stuff or do
shopping and that just really forces us
to kind of slim down on what we pack
with us and then two weeks into our trip
I made sure to book an Airbnb or
somewhere that we can do laundry and
that is really helpful for socks
underwear bras stuff like that that you
wear a lot that you eventually need to
wash for our trip we actually are going
back to our Soho apartment that we
stayed a couple months ago when we were
in New York for the month and so we are
going to have a washer and dryer machine
there and that is like gonna be week
three of our trip so that's perfect
because we can do all of our laundry so
we're very strategic with that and that
cuts down literally in half all of the
like things that we need to bring
because we can do laundry if you're
going with your boyfriend
Brad and I obviously mostly travel
together and we actually wear a lot of
each other's stuff because oversized
clothing is coming back into style we
actually share the same pants he's like
only a slightly bigger waist than I am
so a lot of my pants him and I actually
share so we'll kind of like figure out
what pants he's bringing and then I'll
bring separate pants and we'll just plan
to share each other's clothes and that
just minimizes what we bring and it's
very efficient I always pack a duffel
bag or tote bag and that is just useful
if you have additional things that you
want to bring home with you if it
doesn't fit in the luggage that you
brought and tote bags are also just
useful if you're just out for the whole
day and need a lot of stuff with you I
always remember to bring a tote bag and
then duffel bag is kind of like a bonus
just a backup plan in case you buy more
stuff and then I always have a list on
my phone of all of the things that I
always pack with me and this is a tried
and true list I always refer back to
this when I am packing and going on a
trip because I always just want to make
sure that I have things like cotton
rounds Q-tips pencil sharpener sunscreen
things like that so I'll go ahead and
pop in the list that I always use but
it's nice to refer back to something
like this so that you always remember to
bring the essentials
I also have a makeup bag that has a
little pouch with all of My Essentials
in there so I always keep things that I
know I'm going to use tweezers
sharpeners makeup removers lash glue so
that just little pouch always has the
security things that I always use and
then that just kind of cuts down on me
having to repack this bag every single
time it's just like one less little
thing I have to think about you know tip
number four this kind of goes back to
tip number one and it is to pull outfit
inspo and when you're taking pictures of
your outfits a lot of times I'll
actually look on Pinterest and Instagram
and go through my screenshots and see
what type of like outfits I want to pack
with me I'll start with like key pieces
and outfit around that so I just got
like a little silver Balenciaga bag and
I wanted to make sure I brought that
with me and was able to outfit it so I
actually built a lot of outfits around
that bag Brandon actually starts with
his shoes so if he has like a pair of
sneakers that he wants to bring with him
he'll build three or four outfits around
that shoe and if you can't outfit it
that many times then you need to rethink
either the shoes or the clothes that
you're bringing for him he is more about
efficiency so he is actually only
packing three pairs of shoes for the
four weeks that will be gone and he
typically brings the shoes that he can
make the most outfits with something
that is the most versatile and he's not
going to bring like three pairs of white
sneakers they're all going to be
different so he can make completely
different looks with each one of those
for me I can't pack nearly as light and
I feel like in the fall it's a little
bit more difficult because the layers
are a little bit heavier so I think I'm
bringing five pairs of shoes two pairs
of boots and three like sneakers
comfortable shoes and it also helps me
to put together actual outfits because
like I said before if I don't find
myself reaching for any pieces that I
packed I'm actually just gonna set it
aside and not pack it with me because
you obviously want to make sure that
everything you bring you're gonna wear
because when I was in Italy actually
pack like a couple of things that I
didn't wear at all and it kind of sucked
carrying it around for the whole month
one big mistake that I always used to do
is whenever I got new clothes or
something fun and exciting I always
wanted to bring it with me like that
sweater that I never wear I always was
like I'm gonna bring it with me but if
you're not gonna wear it if you don't
typically outfit it don't bring it bring
things that are tried and true that you
know how to wear that you feel
comfortable in that you can outfit
multiple different ways because that is
going to be the most efficient practical
thing to pack similar to products you
shouldn't bring like brand new products
that you've never tried before because
if it doesn't work out you're just stuck
with it the entire time on your trip so
always stick to the trend and true I
also get Asian glow so I always pack a
couple of Pepcid
tablets with me and since we're gone for
a month I actually pack like quite a few
things of these in my little Cadence
capsules and these are just great for
popping my backpack purse what whatever
electronics are also sometimes my
favorite to pack so these are some of my
favorite Essentials I always bring this
little Loom cube light with me it's dead
so I need to charge that but I always
carry two of these it's great for
lighting and it's just super compact
because we are going to London and Paris
we need to have the international plug
converter things
a couple Chargers my hard drive extra
film
then of course extra batteries
portable charger
