As you may have seen on my Instagram I just got back from California. I was there for 8 days of R&R with a few girlfriends. We were visiting with a friend of ours for her birthday. Since it was my first time in southern California I had to do some sightseeing as any self-respecting tourist would. For the 8 days I only packed a carry on and a personal item. I hate checking in luggage so I pack light. I managed to pack 12 outfits including: 9 tops, 3 jeans, 3 dresses, 4 pairs of shoes, 2 handbags, 2 sets of pajamas, 2 bathing suits, 3 scarves, accessories, all of my toiletries and make up. In addition to all of this I also had my laptop, professional camera, two cell phones and lunch (because you know these airlines don’t want to feed us anymore).

Here is what I wore. Please note that I didn’t plan to do this post and that the pictures were taken with my iPhone 5S. Please forgive the lower picture quality. 🙂
