Summer Vacation Series: What Kind of Luggage Would You Bring?

When It comes to Luggage, I'm a believer in "Size Matters". Since now with TSA your luggage has to be no my than 114 cm (45in), you need to make sure that if you tend to over pack...Like myself...make sure it doesn't exceed TSA approval because you will have to pay. For more information on Packing tips for TSA, check out TSA.gov.

Last year I discover the fabulousness that is hard shell luggages that are lightweight. They are really good, not that heavy and good to roll around. The luggage I use to have was a Delsey 24' Luggage...I love that luggage but the only thing that I didn't like about it was the weight of the luggage, I had my share of having to take out clothes out of my luggage so I didn't have to pay the fee and it's just an annoying feeling to have to take out my clothes in the middle of the airport to put them in my carry on or my mom's luggage. 

My new luggage that I have now is a Nine West Watercolor Flower 24' Suitcase that my mom brought me from Burlington Coat Factory last year for my fourth cruise vacation. It was really good to have, so I came with six different luggages, some are hard shell lightweight luggages and some are regular luggages but they are also lightweight too and also good to use when you go on vacation. 

One Tip: Make sure you know what you want to pack. Don't pack everything under the sun because you are not going to wear everything. Just make sure you know what you want to bring so that you don't bring a lot of stuff. 

What kind of luggages do you have? Are they lightweight? What advice do you have when it comes to packing?

Summer Vacation Series: What to Pack in A Carry On

Summer is HERE!!!

Finally time to have some fun and enjoy the beautiful weather and go on VACAY!! (lol.) Which is exactly what I will be doing this summer before I start my SENIOR YEAR of COLLEGE! (YAY!!) I'm going on a cruise vacation with my family for my cousin's wedding in August so now it's time to finally start packing a little piece by piece. I'm starting this Summer Vacation Series on What to pack in Your Carry On also including a #OOTD look that would be cute to wear when your traveling, so you can be comfortable and looking good at the same time. 

This is just somethings that I would bring with me on my carry on but instead of a DSLR Camera I would have a digital camera because I know I wouldn't have it in time for my vacation. This vacation I won't be bringing my laptop since I have my iPad Air, since it's more lightweight and more easy to carry themselves. You don't want your carry on to be too heavy. Also something else that I forgot to put is a extra outfit, just in case your luggage don't come in time or guess lost at least you have extra clothes to have on so you don't want to wear the same clothes twice. You want to be fabulous and refresh for you travel, doesn't matter what you take.

Be on the look out for the next installment of the "Summer Vacation Series" on Tuesday!

Cruise Preparedness: Looking for Bathing Suits

Four months, four months until my cruise vacation and you know how I feel...EXCITED!!! Since I'm not able to go away for spring break, I'm so happy about this cruise because it's my cousin's wedding cruise. So it's time to get down to business, SHOPPING!! So right now, I been looking at cute bathing suits for the cruise because when we on port, the first thing my family does is go to the beach. That's their very thing to do when we are on a cruise vacation. So of course, I have to have a fabulous bathing suit also. I been looking around for different website for cute bathing suits until I came across my favorite website, Forever 21. Forever 21 never steer me wrong, ever! So I came across for cute bathing suits that I'm looking for.

This is the first thing I look for when it come to preparing for a cruise because I like to have variety. There are a lot to do on a cruise it all depends on how you make your fun. I can't wait till the cruise is my closer! Looking for Bathing Suits is the first installment for my Cruise Vacation Series and be on the look out for other posts for this series.

Miami Lovin' - Summer Cruise Cutie!!!

As you know last October, I went on a family cruise to the Caribbeans. It was cool but I wish there was more fun things to do but being with my family is fun enough for me. After this Cruise, we found out my cousin and his fiancée is having a summer cruise wedding this year in August and of course, I will be on that cruise thanks to my parents and sister. 

We are leaving from Miami, Florida and we are going on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise with Carnival. So this time I will be doing a look for each day, from the day we embark on the cruise from the time we disembark from the cruise. This year I'm going with my family but I'm traveling with my dad and little brother to Miami. 

So the first look is the day we get into Miami. Being in New York, the summertime is crazy hot but down in Miami is extra hot but I will be ready for that but I got to leave my state in style as always.

This look is what I would go for when I'm leaving New York for Miami, something comfortable but also looking cute at the same time because you never know who you run into on your way to Miami. It's always fun to go on vacation during the summer because of the many other people who will be going on vacation too, especially on a cruise vacation. This will be my fifth cruise that I will be going on and im very blessed to be able to go on cruises with my family and have a good time. I can't wait to go on my first Wedding cruise with my family, it's going to be so much fun.

XOXO,
