As some of you may know I am currently on my way to Portugal! Well, the beautiful island of Sao Miguel, Acores. My mother and I decided a month ago to take a last minute, much needed trip to Portugal. I haven't been in nine years and she hasn't been in five. Her mother (my grandmother) is there and tons of my aunts, uncles and cousins whom I have not seen in almost a decade. So naturally, I am very excited. Plus, the shopping in Portugal >>>>>>>>.
If you know me, read my blog, or have any idea of the kind of person I am, you can probably imagine how difficult packing is for me (only because I want to take EVERYTHING). I somehow managed to pack (and stay under the 50 pound limit, yes!) and successfully pack a carry on as well. So, I thought I'd share with you what I'm bringing for a carry on and what I'm bringing in it. Enjoy!
For my carry on I chose my Marc by Marc Jacobs New Army Tote. Although it's not the most comfortable bag to carry on it's heavy duty, can hold a lot, and it's super cute. I wish it had a long cross body strap though, that would really help a lot. Though, I think the updated version of it comes with one (just my luck)!
In my bag I included :
- Two pairs of sunglasses (Ray Ban Wayfarers and Prada Baroques). I couldn't decide which to wear plus didn't want to risk throwing them in my check in luggage.
- My MAC Tartan Tale plaid bag to put in all my toiletries.
- A small body of body spray from Victoria's Secret (under 2 oz.), which I later threw in a clear zip lock bag.
- Outlet converter (for the European outlets).
- Compact mirror.
- Nikon d80 camera (not shown in photos because I used it to take photo...).
- Laptop charger.
- Phone charger/iPod charger.
- Cellphone (with my staple bunny ears case, obviously).
- Laptop.
- Passport case ($3.95 from H&M, I love the minty green color).
- Imodium AD (Anti diarea medicine), sorry if that's too much information but I have the WORST stomach ever and I always get sick at ALL the wrong times.
- iPod and headphones.
- Gum (for ear popping).
- Hand sanitizer (under 1 oz.).
- fresh SUGAR lip treatment.
- Small lint roller (I bring one EVERYWHERE).
- Lipstick case (that my sister got me from London, how cute is that?).
- Panty liners.
- Tampons.
- A million hair ties.
- Bandaids.
- A small package of tissues.
- Vera Bradley Night Owl cosmetic bag and brush bag (filled with my cosmetics and brushes in case I need to touch up before landing).
The only thing missing from my carry on is a good read, whether it be a magazine or book. But I'm making sure to pick one or two at the airport. Well, wish me luck! I hate airplanes and this six hour delay isn't helping. Airports are cool though, I got to watch some of the NBA draft while I was here, excited about Austin Rivers getting drafted and OKC's picks this year.

Many people have been asking to see what I got for my Birthday. I finally got around to making a video, I'm sorry for how horrible the camera lighting is, I need to invest in a good camera. Hope you enjoy it though. I also took pictures of most of the things. I am so thankful for everything I was given and able to buy thanks to my family and friends, you guys are the best!

They just opened a Bloomingdales outlet in the outlet mall I work at. AHHHHH! The store is huge and has some really awesome stuff. I wasn't planning on doing any shopping but it was the opening so I treated myself to two things I have really been wanting (Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and Steve Madden Madee loafers) and a pair of Cheap Monday jeans in a light wash that my wardrobe could use.
 |
| Marc by Marc Jacobs Hiller bag in 'Dirty Martini'. I paid half of the original ticketed price for this bag! |
 |
| Cheap Monday jeans. I got these for $25! |
 |
| Steve Madden Madee loafers in leopard print. I paid $60, they are still selling fo $120 in Steve Madden stores! |
I work at J.Crew and for reaching my sales goal for the year I got allotment! Holla! I also was given employee gift cards for referring people to work with me (thanks friends). So with that being said I got all of this stuff (for pretty much free) and I am so glad. The new holiday stuff just came in and I was pumped I go to shop from it immediately without spending much of my own money! I got two pairs of wool plaid trousers. One pair is a capri pant and the other is a wide leg. I also got a wool sweater and a holiday tartan shirt (collection piece) with a beaded detailing along the neck line. So pretty!
