The Closet Warrior: trip

Showing posts with label trip. Show all posts

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.

March and April were good months for me. Although I have had been filled to my head with school and work towards the end of this month I am happy about all the things I got to do and all the people I got to spend time with. From an awesome trip to Atlantic City to lunches, shopping trips, dinners, Whiskey, bonfires, and Easter these past two months have been fun and filled with memories. I'm excited for what this summer has in store for me and my new age of twenty-one!
