Summer Packing Guide for New York City

Summer Packing Guide for New York City

New York! How I love thee! The city that does not sleep! The city where there is so much to eat and do! All you have to do is walk outside and take a little stroll because the city is filled with heart and soul. How do you pack for something like this? I asked my dear friend Elizabeth and she nailed it! Here is what I got and yes I went to my faithful friend Amazon for most of it, because hey, that is just what I do!

I packed 7 dresses and one jumpsuit because I am in there for 6 days and I wanted extra just in case. I packed two pairs of walking shoes and one pair of tennis shoes. An umbrella, a crossbody handbag, a foldable shopping bag, my charger for my phone, my make up, some jewelry, perfume, lotion, tooth paste and brush, my favorite curling iron, my favorite hairbrush, one work out outfit just in case, undies, bras, books for night time reading, my AAA map of the city, and my bullet proof coffee on the go! Here is a look at some of it! Maybe you will see something you just got to have for your upcoming summer travel!

I have talked to you guys about these before and I swear they are amazing. Not only are the easy to walk in, but I get tons of compliments every time I wear them.

Oh sweet baby Jesus! These amazing sandals are not only cute, but you guys the comfort level is off the chains! I am telling you I LOVE these and I am soooooo happy with this purchase!

Say hello to your new Summer fave! I loved this dress so much I bought it in 3 colors! No lie! And when I get a picture in it I will show you all the fun ways you can wear. IF you are shorter you can tie it at the bottom, so adorable! The straps make it adjustable and I wear a little bandeau under it! So cute and so stinking comfy! 

Got these to wear with my sundresses and they are great! I am very happy with this purchase!

Seriously! How cute is this!!!!!!

Another amazing find! I am so happy with this dress. I just put a bandeau on and go! You can dress it up or down and it is so pretty and comfy! 

The jumpsuit I packed is from Urban and I LOVE IT! I swear I could live in it! I actually got it off of an fellow bloggers site. The link to it is: https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/uo-shapeless-gauzy-striped-jumpsuit?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=049

The rest of the dresses I packed were already in my closet so not really sure where I got them, but sundresses is the way to go in the city of New York for real!

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I live in my PJ's and these are some of my favs! They go EVERYWHERE with me!

I wear these PJS ALL the time and NEVER leave home without them!

So my feet are very tiny and I can get away with buying kids shoes. I got these amazing shoes in a pale pink and I love them! If you have tiny feet or a little girl these shoes are so cute.

These are the one pair of work out pants I brought along with my Dallas Dance Fitness Tank because hey! I got to advertise for our group! Speaking of, if you ever want to try your hand at dance fitness and you live in the Dallas area, hit me up! Check us out at: https://dallasdf.wixsite.com/dallasdancefitness

I am not a real handbag lover and when Elizabeth told me I needed a crossbody bag I was like, "What the heck is that?" She explained it to me and my first thought was no way am I spending money on something I will never carry after this trip. Then I thought, "Why don't I check Amazon out?" I did and I got this little bag. No it is nothing fancy, but for a girl that literally needs it for six days I thought, "What the heck?" It came in and it is actually pretty cute. Cheap as dirt, great reviews, and it will serve it's purpose for a girl who could care less. Plus it can carry my billfold, phone, lipstick, and shades! And it was only $13.95! As far as I am concerned that is WINNING!

This little bad boy is very expensive, but oh so worth it if you have long hair and like to have beachy waves! Not kidding! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, mine and take it everywhere I go!

This stuff is amazing and it is what I use when I am traveling to make my bullet proof on the road. It is creamy and taste like chocolate and is really good! I know I am starting my day with healthy fats and that is the goal when I am away. And yes, I do ask any barista to make it with my coffee wherever I am! I have never had anyone complain, one time I got a rolled eyes, but just once!

Started this and LOVE it! Cannot wait to write a review! Everyone should read it! 

So there you have it! Most of the stuff I mentioned above was bought for this trip, some things I have had, but they are so amazing I just had to share again! 

What do you pack when you go to New York and what is the one thing that you ALWAYS make sure to have with you when you travel? Mine is lipgloss! And yes I get mine on Amazon unless I am wearing my lipsense. 

My girlfriend Karen got me this as a gift once and it is in my car, a kitchen drawer, my dance bag, and by my bedside. Love this and love my lipsense moisture lip balm. That stuff is AMAZING!

So what do you pack when you go to New York? Share with me! I have a feeling I will be heading back again soon with my sweet JP. He is so talented and the city lights up his soul!

Until next time!

XO, 

Amy
