What I Pack for an Overnight Road Trip

Since the weather here isn't exactly 'springy', and all my friends seem to have gone off on vacation, leaving me with nothing but my computer to keep me company. I have decided to take a trip down south (still in the same state) to spend a couple days with sister. Considering that I don't want to waste my whole break siting indoors, afraid to brave the harsh elements, I think this trip is well justified.

There is nothing I love more than taking a road trip by myself. Driving down the road, music blaring, drink coffee, singing (aka screaming badly) at the top of my lungs. Oh the simple pleasures of life. :) However, packing for a trip on the other hand, is not exactly something that I would consider fun. I am usually guilty of being one of those last minute packers, who shoves everything into my bags at the last minute.

This time however, I decided to be a little bit more organized and actually pick out my outfits the day before, and put some time and effort into packing. So since I was already putting the extra effort into my packing, I thought I would share with you some of what I would consider to be my 'overnight road trip essentials'. (outfits, makeup, reading material, etc) I hope you enjoy!

For my overnight road trip I packed; 3 outfits, (you just never know when you may need an extra) 2 pairs of boots, (combat, UGGS) all my makeup essentials, a few magazines, my iPod, a GPS, (I'm really bad with directions) and of course some snacks for the road.  

I also packed some Pajamas, and my overnight stuff, (glasses,toothbrush,face wash, etc) I just didn't include a picture because I feel like those are more generic items (things everybody packs).

My Fashion Must Haves for Spring

Swapping out your winter coat for a Denim Jacket, putting away your warm leggings, in exchange for a cute dress, or placing your winter boots back into your closet, and taking out your favorite pair of sandals. Nothing says spring quite like trading in all those heavy winter layers for lighter more comfortable ones. Spring is by far one of my favorite seasons for fashion. Partially due to the excitement of actually being able to show some skin, and partially because of all the bright and vibrant colors that you get to wear. The first signs of spring are always so exciting. They bring with them a promise of a renewed hope for long, warm, and sunny days, as well as the possibility for more fashionable and trendy clothing. Lets be honest, Winter can make it very difficult to be trendy. I mean sure you may have a cute outfit on, but in order to go anywhere in that outfit, you must first put on a bulky coat, along with a scarf, and gloves, and sometimes even a hat, completely covering up any sense of style you had going on. Spring however is different. In spring you don't have to hide behind layers, and layers of clothing. You get to wear your outfits the way you intended to, and you get to leave your house without feeling like a giant marshmallow. So cheers to this spring season season, may it be all that you hope it to be, and more!
