I’m usually pretty good about packing light for trips (proof: backpacking or a month through Peru with 4 shirts & 2 pairs of pants), but when it came to spending a month in Oaxaca, I went a little overboard.  And I’ll literally be paying for that at the airport in luggage fees on Friday.  I’m not about to make the same mistakes with the 3 inter-Europe flights on discount airlines (London-Paris; Paris-Barcelona; Barcelona-London), so I spent last night looking at blogs for inspiration.  So far, I love:

• The Longchamp & wheeling bag from Trendy Travelista’s Best Travel Bags
• Everything from Travelista’s How to Pack Light
• Lush conditioner from Travelista’s Shampoo Alternative for Travel
• How to stay fashionable while backpacking article
• Super-cute travel hairstyle from For Me, For You

I’ll let you know how it goes!
