Packing? I’m an expert. Today I’m sharing my tips for packing efficiently, and a hearty roundup of perfect-for-travel picks from the upcoming Nordstrom Anniversary sale to add to your wishlist. The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is no joke - a deeply discounted plethora of wardrobe staples. The sale officially starts July 12th, but cardmembers get early access, starting July 8th. Everything I’m sharing today can be added to your wishlist, so you’re ready to checkout and save $ when it’s go time. Shall we?
When it comes to packing for a week in a city, I keep the formula tight: outfits that feel pulled together but not too precious, everything interchangeable, and most importantly, a sneaker that goes with everything. If your sneakers are cool enough, they can carry the whole outfit.
A tight travel edit requires a few star players and a strong supporting cast. A perfect white tank, stripes for visual interest, great jeans, and a dress that goes day to night. We pack with flexibility and the option to pivot at any time.
In LA we never think about raincoats, but it’s a summer reality everywhere else. Avoid the shame of a roadside poncho and pack a raincoat if there’s weather in the forecast.
Remember: Day-to-night dressing is your friend, and cool sneaker will get you through a full day.
You don’t need seven outfits, You need three that you love and can remix. Think editor off-duty! You’re chic, not chaotic.
I hope this helped you get a head start on packing, and on setting up your Nordstrom sale wishlist. I’ll be doing another Anniversary sale roundup once it kicks off in July to keep you posted on what’s flyin’ and what we’re buyin’. Until then, happy travels!
