What I'm Packing
So in less then a week, we are headed to Disney World in Orlando Florida. This is nothing new for us, we are DVC Members. For those of you who don’t know, that is the Disney Vacation Club. Disney is a fam favorite around here even as the kids grow older. Come see a few of my essentials I take with me!
I already have a post about traveling with kids..(if you haven’t checked that out yet, go do it!). This is about what mama likes to bring. Obviously this is not EVERYTHING and every trip is different, but these are a few of the items I’m bring this time.
1. Calf-hair wedge sandals from J.Crew Factory. So cute AND comfortable. I love espadrilles because of their comfort. I will not wear these to the park, of course, but I will to go anywhere else. Breakfast, dinner, etc. They go with everything and animal print is so hot this season. Although, I have to admit, I’ve always loved it. They run true to size. $89.50 (30% off)
2. Mid-rise denim short from J.Crew. These are a staple in my closet. These are the light wash but I actually have them in every wash. They are true to size and are not super tight so again, comfort. I will wear denim shorts almost every day on vacation. At least at some point (I tend to change throughout the day depending what we’re up to). There are similar (if not the same) shorts at J.Crew Factory. $56.99 (28% off)
3. Dvacaman Hoop Tassel Earrings from Amazon. These beauties cost me $11.79 and are available on Prime. I am loving Amazon for fashion right now. You definitely have to be aware of what you’re buying and sometimes you get what you pay for but these are great. I also am bringing the coral pair. They are oversized so be aware of that if larger earrings bother you.
4. Davis 3-piece spinner hardside luggage set from Nordstrom Rack. I had to order this for the trip because my last suitcase broke at the airport coming back from Key West. I will let you know how these hold up! We travel a lot so our luggage takes a beating. There are luggage bags out there you can use but I’m not sure how much they help other then with scuffs and scratches.
5. Dvacaman Hoop Tassel Earrings from Amazon. This is the 2nd pair I bought from Amazon and I LOVE them. They are a little smaller then the white pair and they are SO fun. There are so many color/style options from this link. I have since bought an aqua pair and I’m sure they’ll be more! The color is red-2 but they’re not red. They are a coraly pink.
6. x Desi Perkins High Key Mini 57mm Aviator Sunglasses I received mine in my Fab Fit Fun box but I found them at Nordstrom so liked that. If you are not familiar with Fab Fit Fun, it is a quarterly subscription box that costs $49.99 for over $300 worth of product. I have a blog and Instagram post on the spring box and I’m impatiently waiting for my summer box! I also have a code that can get you $10 off! Go check out the posts!
7. Travel Make-up case from Amazon. This case has been a game-changer. It is the perfect size and all the compartments move around to accommodate your make-up or products. There is a separate spot for your brushes as well, which I love. $18.99 and available on Prime
8. Woven Panama Hat from Nordstrom. I love this hat because it is perfect for the summer. It’s light, white, and airy. I really try to hide my face from the sun and this does a great job. It also look great with either an outfit or a swimsuit. Win, win. $39.00 and free shipping
9. Custom Designer Mouse Ears from EarmaginationEars on Etsy. These are my favorite thing I’m bringing. If you’re going to Disney, you HAVE to have ears?! And if you’re going to have ears, why not have fun with it? Etsy has so many fun designers that will make you whatever kind of ears you want. Get creative! I paid $35.00 for these plus $6 for shipping. About the same as what you would spend in the park.
10. Angashion Women's Jumpsuits from Amazon. These jumpsuits have also been spotted all over the ‘gram. I can see why. This is the most comfrtable thing I’ve put on. It feels like pajamas. I’m on the taller side so jumpsuits and rompers can be a hard to find item that fits well. I did size up to a medium and it’s perfect. I have the black but it comes in a multitude of colors. I paid $21.99 but just saw its on sale for $16.99!
11. Bdcoco Women's High Waist Two Pieces Bikini Set from Amazon. This bikini is amazing. After having 3 children, I’m nut jumping into a skimpy 2 piece, but this suit covers all the right places and holds you in just where you need it. It is a designer “dupe”(copy) and for the price I think it could be better then the original. It does come as a set so no mix and match sizing. I also sized up to a medium and the top is a little small. I bought in 2 colors. Black and Blue. I’ll be bring both with me. $24.99 and free shipping.
12. Disney Sketch Tote by Dooney & Bourke I love Disney and I love Dooney & Bourke. They have collaborated over the years to bring us the most gorgeous and fun bags, purses, wallets, and accessories . My exact one is not on the shop disney site but the pattern (sketch) is the same. I also have a crossbody and wristlet that holds my phone in the same pattern. They are pricey but it is designer and an investment. Go check out the site, the different patterns are for every interest and are super fun! Full size purse $298.00
13. Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 Coola is my go-to brand for sun care. For myself and my family. It is a sheer, water- and sweat-resistant organic formula, packed with antioxidants and skin-nourishing ingredients. The one for your face is great for all skin types and doesn’t clog pores and cause breakouts. $36.00 and if you buy 3 from the site you get 10% off.
14. Miller Flip Flop from Nordstrom. These are a spring/summer staple. They come in an array of colors and materials. I have them, my teenagers have them. They last and if you can stand the patent leather between your toes (not my fav) they seriously hold their brand new look. Winning! Check for sales at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. They have the best and run a couple times a year. $198 I have color Vintage Vachetta Leather
15. Marc Jacobs Nylon Biker Backpack I got mine at Nordstrom but they no longer carry it so I found it here. Same price. I use mine every time I travel as a carry-on. It’s included in a blog post on trending backpacks. Go check it out! $195
Of course there is more I’m bringing, but these are staple items. Shop them all in the links and of course tag me on Instagram in whatever you get! I love to see!!
I’ll be posting on Insta and Facebook and doing stories if you want to follow along on our trip?? I would love the follow and engagement! I love to hear from you guys:)
