New York, New York! Packing for Travel (Phase 1)

Published on 19 November 2024 at 10:22

"Start spreading the news, you're leaving today

(Saturday, to be precise)

I want to be a part of it, New York, New York

Your vagabond shoes, they are longing to stray

And step around the heart of it, New York, New York

Your small town blues, they're melting away"

-Frank Sinatra

Travel is right around the corner for this girl! Saturday, we travel to Brooklyn to spend the week with my stepdaughter, her partner and her biological mom. To say we are excited just doesn't come close to describing the elation and anticipation we are experiencing. We've got some celebrating and squeezing to do when we get there!

As I begin my packing journey, I've decided to share my approach with you all. This is the same method I utilize for my Travel Package as a personal stylist. Today, I'm unveiling Phase 1. I kick things off with a quick update on the current seasonal style, then I dive into the trends specific to my travel destination and take into account the expected weather conditions.

A few themes, names and phrases to get us started:

  • "Mob-wife aesthetic"
  • 1950's-1960's glamour
  • Jackie Kennedy, Katherine Hepburn
  • "Liquid leather"

 

I don’t know about you, but I find it essential to have a visual for styling tips! It really helps to see the looks come to life, so I grab photos along the way.

Let's take a look at what I compiled...

Big-picture takeaways from my research?

Next up? Phase 2 in my packing journey and Travel Package process!
