This is incredible, thank you for all the detail! Can we talk more about how you pack your Felix hat? I have it, but always end up wearing it on the plane because I'm so nervous to crush it! Do you fold or roll and stick it in your suitcase? Helppppp!

Hi! I just fold it and put it right in the suitcase. It gets a lil smooshed and weird but reshape it when you arrive by wearing it and use some water to loosen up the creases! Mine's not pristine like when I first got it, but I think it still looks good and bring on every trip! xx

Carry-on girl here too!! #stuffruinstrips. Love your looks and will be holding some of them up to my own closet for my fall travel! I always add 2or 3 gorgeous silk scarves…they take up no space and they are a total game changer and the same goes with lipstick and earrings…also. If you’ve got hair that likes to be put up nothing feels chicer to me than the Deborah Pagani hair pins. Trust me on this! Happy (LIGHT) travels!

LOVE! Heading to Greece this summer for a week and I think it’s time to break free from my checked baggage ways!

Omg especially for Greece with all those ferries and rocky streets! Not fun lugging around a giant bag. If you need help hit me up :) I live for it!

I should also say that I still don’t understand how you could just pack a carry-on for a month in Europe very impressed!! And I’m glad I found you on here. I would love to feature you and your mom on my newsletter. I’m starting to feature some Q&A with wine makers. ❤️

Aw that’s so sweet Sarah! We’d love that!!

Yes, it can be done!!! My hottest tip is: for a Europe trip in the summer, you only need one pair of jeans to wear on the plane! ❤️❤️

I'm here with your list packing for my 2 week vacation and I was wondering if you just took 1 pair of jeans, or how many long bottoms did you pack. I'm trying to do my best and not over pack for the first time in my life! #Igottthis

If you’re going somewhere warm, I think you can get away with 1 pair of jeans! You could also bring a silky loungey pant that shouldn’t take up too much room. If going somewhere colder, I’d bring another pant like a trouser or another jean. Hope this helps!!
