#WomenTalkTravel about Packing Cubes

Do you have trouble getting everything you need into your suitcase? Do you travel between locations, and struggle to find what you need to wear? then packing cubes will help you  ...

Fall travel is especially hard to pack for, temperatures switch daily and fitting the right pieces into your luggage is harder than ever. We'll chat about that, packing cubes and other travel solutions. Fall air also makes me think of apple cider, cozy layers and delicious soups - we'll have some interesting tastes for you to sample as well.

Designed to compress, organize, and pack clothing as well as other items, packing cubes fit perfectly into most carry-on suitcases, tote bags, backpacks and even duffel bags. 

 What goes in ... depends ...

• If your making several stops on trip, try 1 cube for each stop or activity. 
• If your sharing your suitcase with someone else, use colour coded packing cubes to easily find your outfits. (note; when traveling with others, best practice is to mix clothing between 2 suitcases so that if 1 gets delayed, you still have something to wear).
• If your trip requires clothes for different temperatures, use 1 cube for lightweight clothing, layering pieces, and heaviest pieces at bottom.
• Just consider what will help make your life easier on the road, and at your destination.

What to buy ...

• you can still add clothing under & around the cubes, just lay bulkiest clothing at the bottom of your suitcase, and roll pieces to fit between cubes.
• cost is relative, stay low if is this a one time adventure, invest in better quality if you are a repeat traveler, always test the zippers for durability.
• some styles are breathable fabric or water repellent.
• start with 2 or 3, you can always add more.

By using packing cubes, you can pack what you want & save space. Enjoy everything about your trip - for business or vacation - as much as possible by cleaning up your packing. Planning what goes in the cubes, whether it is for a long weekend or for week-long vacation overseas, will help all your  packing go easier and faster.

Love these Shades of Fall

Isn't it always the way, just when you are ready to change seasons, mother nature plays with the schedule. This year September feels like summer, but we know fall will arrive in all it's glorious colour one day.

This fall the Pantone Institue has embraced the warmth of your favorite sweater in shades that will flatter every skintone. Pull the deeper tones into bottoms that demonstrate your love of the season, or mix them on top with black bottoms. This is the season to embrace colour, and wear less black.
