On almost every packing list I have, cardigans are there. Whether it’s winter or summer, the lightweight button down sweater is a must-have. They pull an outfit together, keep you warm on cold planes, and look professional but not too formal. They are available everywhere, on every budget, so it’s easy to find one that…
In my opinion, hotel rooms often have a terrible plug set up. There either aren’t enough, they’re inaccessible, or they are in the wrong place. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to unplug an alarm clock or muscle a very heavy night stand out of the way to plug my phone in.…
How many of you have sat on a plane while the final group boards and easily finds places for all of their carryons? Now, how many of you have sat on a plane, waiting to depart, as flight attendants frantically gate check bag after bag? Frequent fliers know the second scenario is way more likely,…

A couple of weeks ago I talked about clothes, and next in my series of packing photos: toiletries! Toiletries create a very tricky packing situation for the…
Last week I mentioned that I discovered a new blog called Outfit Posts, where the blogger takes pictures of her outfits every morning. I love everything she puts together! She travels for work a lot, and has a really great post about how to pack for 30 days in one suitcase. While I have gotten…
It has become clear to me that a lot of travelers are not clear on how to get to a non-aisle seat politely. I’ve covered it before, but after a recent flight I figure a rehash is in order. On this particular flight a few weeks ago I had the aisle seat, and when I…
