Packing for a Winter Trip + Tips

Hello Lovely readers! It's been crazy this past week because I had my final for my last class yesterday! I'm finally done with the first semester of college! To be honest, it's not what I expected. I thought it would be more fun, but really it's a lot of boring work lol. Well thank God I have two weeks off and for the first half of the vacation I'll be in NY. (Though it's a terrible time to go.)

Nonetheless, I will be showing you girls what I pack for my winter trip. 

Last year I did a video on how to pack lightly and it was around November so it was more of fall outfits. This time I'm showing you what winter appropriate outfits I'm bringing. 

I decided to stay in the gray-black-blue color scheme so everything matches. 

Hope you guys find it helpful!

Winter Fashion Tips:

1. Replace bracelets and rings with gloves! There are some super cute gloves out there at the moment, and this way your hands stay nice and warm!

2. Hats are perfect to change up an outfit.

3. Scarves is another perfect way to spice up an outfit.

4. Lipsticks are key to brighten your face and add color!

5. Layering is essential if you want to stay warm and can easily be fashionable! 

New York Weekend Trip

   Hey everyone! By the title of this post you may already know that I'm headed up to New York for a long weekend trip!! I'll be staying up there with my family for about 6 days! I haven't visited since last year and man it feels like ages!! I love New York always have from the first time I visited!! It's an amazing city! Any part of it is breathtaking! Though it's crazy, crowded and confusing I adore the big apple! But everytime I go I have the problem of over packing! AH! So this time I'm going to pack light and it will be my goal for the trip! So here we go!

How to Pack Light for a Weekend Trip to New York: 
   The weather will be between the 60's to the 40's. I'm really hoping it stays between that temperature. Rememeber the colder the more layers you'll need. So check the weather the week before you leave to get an accurate estimate of the temperature.
   Unfortunetly I wont be staying in New York City this time I am going to be in New Jersey for the weekend with family. Which means I wont be walking around as much so I wont get a lot of my things dirty with rain, dirt, or sludge. I do plan on heading into the city as often as possible though! I plan to be minimelistic about what I bring with me and only bring the neccessities and a few favorite accessories to tie everything together.
Here is a list of what I am taking:

-2 pairs of pants
-5 longsleeve shirts
-1 hoodie
-2 hats
-3 scarfs
-socks
-1leather jacket
-1 coat
-1 pairs of pajamas
-under garmets

Your list may vary but this is just to give you a general idea of what you can take as basics.
Here are a few pictures and a video on how I packed super light for my trip!
