Yay, it’s Spring and so many of us are going away for the weekend on a mini-Spring break. We’re constantly being asked for ideas on what to wear and pack. The idea is to try to minimize packing space by taking a number of key items and a couple of accessories that you can mix and match to create various outfits. So, here’s what we’re packing for a Spring weekend break.

TRAVEL IN STYLE

Plan to look your best from the moment you leave the house. Travel hint: Apparently, it’s especially important to look good if you want to get those flight or room upgrades! The look is about comfortable layering, making sure you have something warm with you, an extra pair of heels when you need them, and a bag large enough to carry everything.
