Packed Up

September 9th, 2009

As you read this, I’m in the air heading to New York for Fashion Week.  Packing for a trip is hard enough, but deciding what to bring to one of most fashionable weeks of the year proved to be infinitely challenging.  I followed a rather time-consuming method that involved a really detailed list (we’re talking teeny squares where I checked off items I had packed) and laying out everything I was going to pack before throwing it into my suitcase.  Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming with me to New York.

    Isn’t the packing process fun though? I was in NYC for the US Open last week, and I will be back up there tomorrow. The packing process for me proved to be rather difficult this time. I tossed a bit of everything into my suitcases. Off to the shows, I go! Have a fabulous time.
