Packing 30+ Outfits in ONE Carry-On Bag for Our Six Weeks in Europe!

Post contains affiliate links (read my full disclosure).

Good morning friends! Today is FRIDAYYYYYY and an extra special one too! My kiddos are officially done with school. Woot woot! Which means that the next 48 hours will be completely blissful with no lunch making or dragging little ones out of bed by their toes. Until hour 49 rolls around and my girls realize that they’ve been so excited they haven’t fought in two whole days.

Not only am I celebrating Friday and the end of the school year, but I am also mega celebrating the fact that we leave for Europe in mere days! AND my pre-trip to-do list is mega dwindling too! One last weekend this weekend at our cabin putting the final “rental touches” on everything and then we will be flying awayyyyyy! Eeeeek!!!

And guess what??? We will be Summer-ing in Europe for six weeks and I am not checking a single bag. Yep, one carry-on suitcase and the coolest underseat carry-on “personal item” is ALL I am packing! It literally feels so liberating. One of the main reasons I started our Summers away last year was to “leave it all behind” and adventure the world. This year I’ve decided that rolling around a ginormous suitcase to destination after destination is just not my idea of a dreamy Summer exploration. So I am ditching the mega-load and opting to bring enough items to create multiple outfits combinations that ALL fit in ONE carry-on bag. I have fit every single clothing item in this post PLUS three pairs of shoes in my main carry-on suitcase and then all of my toiletries, laptop, purse and other small items fit in my underseat carry-on. From these items, I have somehow managed to create 30+ outfits from these items. Lots of basics plus a few fun pieces and TADA! Tons of outfits to choose from during our travels. And yes, we will be hitting up some laundromats or using the washer/dryer in some of our accommodations. Oh and P.S. I found some cozy, slightly lower pumps for our trip that are arriving Monday. I have linked them at the bottom of this post. I just wore my favorite nude heels for these pictures. I will mostly be trecking Europe in my tennis and sandals 🙂

    This is amazing, but I am kind of worried for you that you’re bringing only one pair of shorts?! I am not sure which countries you are visiting though…

    Wow, this is amazing!! I’d love to see how you fold everything to fit it all in your suitcase. Are you using packing cubes?

    Love this! I’m amazed how much cute outfits you’ve packed in your carry on luggage! This is a skill I’ve yet to master. Another difficult thing to pack is makeup and toiletries. Can you share what you’ve packed in makeup and toiletries?

    It’s probably just me, but considering the temperatures Europe has had recently, jeans would not be on my list. Last year, anything in 80+ temps was torture in lightweight pants. But I love the minimalist wardrobe! We are going for 5 weeks next week and plan to have more heat sensitive clothes…rather than ones we would melt in. Good luck!

Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AN Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AND a beautifully made bed? ME TOO!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ A few days ago on stories I was chatting about how huge, fluffy pillow inserts can MAKE a pillow sham! I feel the same about a comforter or duvet insert too. Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too.
