European Vacation

A and I are headed “across the pond” in May for a trip through London, Paris, and Rome. As always I’m overwhelmingly practical when packing for trips. So in anticipation for our long plane ride, I’ve been looking for all the necessities I might need to make the ride as comfortable as possible. If you’ve ever taken an overnight flight, you know that they usually give you a “sleep pack” with a sleep mask, ear plugs, socks, and always provide blankets and pillows. But airplane issued items aren't that cute or comfortable or clean so I decided to find some alternative to pack in my carry-on.

The first, and the item that inspired this post, are these adorable Holly Golightly Earplugs. I HAVE to have these!




Of course a sleep mask is most necessary. I own a few, but my favorites are these from Bath & Body Works:


or these from Traveling Chic



or of course the Holly Golightly complete ensemble:


A cute, and comfortable travel pillow and blanket. I always prefer to have my own blanket and pillow since airplane ones can be full of germs from previous passengers. Gross. This one is called a PamBee and was designed by a flight attendant. It's a little pricey, but I really like the Pucci inspired design. Hoping to find similar for less...



I like this polka dot pillow from Traveling Chic as well...



I also love everything at Flight 001

Evian Travel Companions


Reflexology Travel Socks


Cherry Blossom Motion Sickness Bracelets


No Cooties!


I also bring a large bottle of water, chap stick, lotion, a contact case, and my glasses since I get soooo dehydrated on the plane, facial wipes, tooth paste and tooth brush..If you can think of anything else I’m forgetting, let me know!
