Quick Trip Packing: What’s In My Suitcase

I recently went on a quick girls trip to Florida with my mom and sister. We spent 3 days and 2 nights there, which was the perfect amount of time to get away! Because it was such a quick trip, I wanted to make the travel day as simple as possible by only bringing a carry-on suitcase. Utilizing just a carry-on means I needed to be selective with what I was bringing. I tend to like to have options when I travel, but this time around I really stuck to a list and only brought the essentials! I ended up having 2 spare outfits, but wore everything else that I packed. The nice thing about packing for warm weather is that everything takes up less space, so you can squeeze a couple extra items in!

Like I said, we were gone for 3 days and 2 nights. Here’s everything I brought (and I didn’t feel like I was missing anything!) You can watch how I packed in the reel I shared on Instagram.

What I Bring On Every Trip:

BÉIS Carry On Suitcase: The color I own (Creamsicle) was limited edition but they have tons of fun colors to choose from!
Packing Cubes: These are great for staying organized! They come in a variety of colors so you could have a color for each family member to keep things separate if you’re sharing a suitcase.
Dagne Dover Toiletry Bags: The quality of these are unmatched! I usually travel with one large and one small size.
Clothing Steamer: A must-have when packing things in a suitcase! The one I packed isn’t available anymore – however when looking for similar to link for ya, this one caught my eye. It’s compact and weighs under a pound, which seems great for travel!
