I’m packing with you for a work trip to Arkansas, and I’m walking through my full travel prep routine from start to finish. I start with the part that makes everything feel instantly less chaotic: outfit planning. I build a quick Canva mood board so I can see my color story and silhouettes all in one place, then I pull pieces that mix and match easily (aka the cozy, simple, chic formula I always come back to). After that, I do a real try-on so I’m not packing “maybe” outfits—if it doesn’t feel good on, it doesn’t come. Once outfits are set, I plug everything into my Reminders app packing list so I’m not relying on my brain the night before. Then we pack the suitcase together using my go-to Beis bags, plus a few Aritzia staples that work for meetings, travel days, and dinner without overpacking. I also take you along for a little pre-trip self-care (yes, nails), because I swear it makes me feel more put-together the second I land. If you’re an overthinker packer or you always end up bringing too much, this is the exact system I use to keep it calm and streamlined.
