I wonder why that is....Colorful ensembles definitely brighten the mood. I was so tired from all the walking and so sore that I needed bright colors to keep me going. lol<br /><br /><br />I also typically put fashion first and comfort second, but I was trying to be so much smarter. lol Since the shoes fit at home, I didn't even think much of it. And I forget feet can swell from all the walking. I will definitely be more prepared next time. So happy I had the sneakers to cover all my Band-Aids and blister pads during the day; Although I was at the point where I just didn't care if they showed or not.Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-24044036352946226132015-02-18T18:19:53.970-08:002015-02-18T18:19:53.970-08:00I always make a list. I am such a list maker for ...I always make a list. I am such a list maker for everything. I have a giant checklist where I write in what outfits I choose for each day and every single item I bring, just in case. I had to buy a new suitcase for this Vegas trip because the wheel on my old one gave out. I think my new one is a 30" and I still had to put things in a carry on. Our trip visiting grandmas will be way more laid back so I won't have to overdo it. It will be a longer trip, but at least I will be able to launder things. I just need to give myself more time for planning. lol<br /><br /><br /><br />I only brought capri pant pajamas, so I did put on socks and pull them up as high as I could. My legs were itching so crazy bad. I haven't had too many issues like that before, so it drove me insane.Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-31753978867062715082015-02-18T18:11:17.318-08:002015-02-18T18:11:17.318-08:00Me too!

Thankfully, they make hot/cold packs that you can either freeze or microwave. <br /><br />I think planning to a certain extent is probably good, but yeah, if I'm on vacation, I want to have some time to just laze around. :)goingloopyhttp://goingloopy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-4563243425996075032015-02-16T13:00:08.658-08:002015-02-16T13:00:08.658-08:00Thanks for your fashion run-down!

Like you, I pack for all the necessary occasions and then throw in extra outfits, way too many extra panties, and pieces for climates ranging from blazing deserts to the frigid Arctic. lol <br /><br />I have the same issue with shoes and try to break in new pairs before we travel, but it's not always possible. Plus, I tend to go for fashion first and comfort second, and I usually end up paying for that. I bought a pair of black flats before I went to New York for the first time. After wearing them for one day, my feet were bloodied, blistered, and bruised. For the rest of the trip, I wore hideous black walking sandals that did little to cover the white athletic tape plastering my feet. It was not a good look, but I was in so much pain! Lesson learned. No new shoes on trips. Especially trips where you're walking 10 miles a day.<br /><br />I think you did a great job of balancing casual comfort with your peppy style. The purple printed maxi is my favorite look of the bunch, but I also really like the purple capris, printed top, and cardi outfit. I find that packing vibrant colors and punchy prints brightens my mood even if the clothes aren't my favorite. Packing for Mexico was loads of fun because I went crazy with color and print. It was a nice change from Scotland where I packed mostly black and earth tones. Oh well, I matched everyone else in the country at least! I was probably wearing MORE color than most everyone we passed on the street. <br /><br /><3 Liz<br />www.withwonderandwhimsy.comLiz @withwonderandwhimsyhttp://www.withwonderandwhimsy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-44782189674828119822015-02-16T12:28:08.579-08:002015-02-16T12:28:08.579-08:00OMG Sean would love that Bloody Mary.

I am not a fan of them myself, but I would definitely taste the Caribbean one.<br /><br /><br />Hash House had lots of tasty looking choices. I have friends that go to Vegas multiple times a year and they go every visit. It is a pretty big restaurant, although I imagine it is quite a wait for normal breakfast times. I look forward to going back.<br /><br /><br />I am so glad you enjoyed reading the post and found it helpful. It really is crazy how massive and spread apart everything is. I really hope we can stay in a more central location on our next trip and have a more relaxing time. Plus, I want to see more Cirque shows!<br /><br /><br />I hope you are recovering from your allergy attack. How awful that you had to go to the ER! I am glad my post brought you some distraction and enjoyment in the midst of all that. I cannot wait to read about your trip as well!! I have a couple weeks worth of your blog to catch up on.Haileyhttp://www.divinemrsdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-29743552526657150962015-02-13T16:54:46.746-08:002015-02-13T16:54:46.746-08:00I do love that floral maxi from Kohl's. I waf...I do love that floral maxi from Kohl's. I waffled on buying it too long and then they were sold out of my size :(<br /><br />Due to all of my dorky speech travel in college, I'm pretty good at packing. However, I also tend to overpack a little because, duh, options. I do try to limit the pants and shoes. Most of the time, when I travel, it's to visit family, and they don't dress up, so I generally just bring jeans and t-shirts plus an emergency dress because you just never know. I pretty much wear my ugly-ass crocs at the airport, and wear them a lot while I'm out and about. They're the best shoes ever for schlepping around all day (with socks, and bootcut jeans, so you can't see them *too* much, lol). They're also lightweight. If it's summer, I'll probably take 2 pairs of sandals, but if it's winter, I limit myself to one pair of casual black shoes. I have a 24" upright suitcase, and I can make everything for a 5-day trip fit. I also usually doodle a list at work, just because writing it down helps me not forget my toothbrush and/or hairbrush (this is why I own like 5 hairbrushes...because I kept forgetting to pack one). <br /><br />Things I never leave out: a hoodie (because every time I haven't packed one, that was a stupid decision); a bathing suit (ditto); extra underwear; sunglasses; my prescription glasses in case I have bad allergies and my contacts fail me.goingloopyhttp://goingloopy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034790958999231788.post-85134074021619331012015-02-13T14:49:52.641-08:002015-02-13T14:49:52.641-08:00i looooove the pink snakers.
