Travel Luggage Tricks!

Travel Luggage Tricks: The number one trick to always spotting your luggage first on the carousel in baggage claim lies in the color of your luggage! I’m really hoping you already knew that though! I never ever buy a plain black or brown piece of luggage. I always choose a color and in this case I chose multiple colors with the French Bull 21″ Carry On spinner, which is exclusively available at Target! It also comes in a larger size here–> French Bull Vee 28″ Spinner

Good Morning readers, over the past few years I’ve first handedly learned a couple more travel luggage tricks so I figured I would share them with you:

1) If you’re an over packer like me, do yourself a favor and just pack two checked bags instead of stuffing everything into one bag and risking the overweight limit fee on the way home. It’s way cheaper to just check two bags instead paying an extra $100 on top of the one bag fee.

2) Always pack your hairspray and perfumes inside of plastic water resistant bags so that it won’t leak onto your clothing.

3) If you think it may rain while your luggage is making its way to the plane outside in the baggage carts, wrap your belongings inside of the luggage with a large trash bag on both the bottom and the top. I still have water stains on a white blazer from my stuff getting drenched at the airport while they were unloading the plane.

4) Pack extra carry on bags! I always stuff two extra carry on bags into the front pocket of my suitcase in case I end up traveling home with more stuff that I originally packed, which happens more often that not. I recommend my MZ Wallace metro or sutton totes because they can fold up super tiny and are extremely lightweight.

5) 360 spinners are the way to go! There is absolutely no reason for your luggage to only have two wheels when they can have four! After the first time I used a spinner, I wondered how I ever got through life without one! If you don’t already have a spinner, trust me you need one–>French Bull Vee 28″ Spinner

P.S. These photos were taken of My Style Diaries and I and the International House Hotel in New Orleans during a fun little staycation, which we’ll be sharing soon on our blogs! So stay tuned!

Thank you to French Bull for bringing you this post. All opinions are my own.

Good Morning readers and Happy Friday!  I’m so excited to announce that I will be hosting a fun Halloween event with MZ Wallace Handbags at Emma’s Shoes in Metairie, LA next Thursday, October 30th from 2-4 pm! Can’t wait to see you all there!

The Large Metro Tote: The large metro tote feels weightless no matter how much you cram inside and it comes with 3 pouches and a few interior pockets inside for easy organization! It’s the perfect carry-on bag when traveling because it’s durable, weather proof and it doesn’t weigh your shoulder down. On top of that, there is always extra room to fit a few more things inside if your suitcase is over the weight limit and if you’re anything like me, you’re gonna need that extra space to avoid paying the extra fee! I have over-packing issues!

The Marlena Backpack: So I’ve been obsessing over backpacks for a while now, but after using the Marlena I’m now on a whole new level of backpack obsession! I just love its chic and sporty vibe plus all of the pockets and compartments make it convenient for traveling as well as everyday use!

The Chrissie Tote: I originally chose the Chrissie tote because I knew it would fit my laptop which I practically bring with me everywhere, but it turned out to be far more than just a laptop bag! With all the extra room I can fit my work out clothes because I work out all the time, right? Just kidding, but who knows! Now that I can fit my workout clothes I just might start working out more!! Anyway, like most MZ Wallace bags it comes well equipped with plenty of pockets and compartments, but what I really love about the Chrissie is the extra long satchel strap for carrying on your shoulder as well as it’s sleek and sophisticated style. If the Chrissie is too large for your everyday needs, but you love the style… you’re in luck because they make a smaller version called the Andie!

Jars by Dani: You will receive a delicious Jar by Dani with your MZ Wallace purchase! All the more reason to indulge yourself in a little shopping and some Halloween treats! Right?

Event Details: MZ Wallace Handbag Trunk Show on Thursday, October 30th at Emma’s Shoes | 110 Rosa Ave., Metairie, LA | Phone: (504) 407- 0668 | Receive #JarsbyDani with purchase!
