Excellent traveling, Maggie!

I’m loving this pebble print jersey from Jones New York. Rolls up fine in the suitcase and is fabulous by itself for dressiness or covered up in various ways. Even goes casual warm with leggings under & sweater over.

Sadly, they’re almost out of them. Looks like the petites are already all gone.

[...] today I came across this great blog post about a woman who managed to take a 2 week trip to Greece with just a carry-on & a lap-top [...]

I ADMIRE you for being able to pack so light & so cute. I may be just the opposite… cute but obnoxiously heavy packer. I love the ideas in this post & will use them on my next trip! thanks!!!

You are the kind of beautiful that when your son is old and his friends come across a picture of you in your youth they’ll comment that WHOA, YOUR MOM WAS SO YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL AND VIBRANT!

Not that you *won’t* be these things when he’s old, but that headband headshot about halfway down is gorgeous and full of character.

And hey, I have a whole lotta hair myself and I think I’ll take you up on your headband suggestion. My solution up until now has been to control the frizz and ponytail escapees with sunglasses except that this is less functional when the sun is in my eyes and then I’m that lady who’s squinting but with sunglasses on her head. And that’s just stupid.

Maggie, I loooove your vintage black and red dress! I’m currently packing for a trip to Paris and wanted to know did you take your SLR or point n shoot camera? I want the awesomeness of my SLR but dont want to carry it around.

I just adore your first dress…I can see why it is your favorite. Now, could you tell me what red lip color you’re wearing in the pictures? I’m freckly like you — similar skin tone/hair, etc. — and have never found one that has suited me. Point me in the right direction?

I’ve so enjoyed seeing you getting to do this Mighty Life list stuff. Can’t wait for the next installment.

First of all, your legs look fantastic in the 11th photo down. Well done. I should try jumping in photos more.

Second of all I’ve been on this same mission. Just went to Prague for a long weekend and packed lighter than I ever have, but still came home with about 5 things that I didn’t wear. FIVE full things for a FOUR day weekend. It’s the “what if” factor. What if I need to change? What if its colder than I thought? etc.

I’m a work in progress on this one.

And finally, I dreamt last night that I had died and had to pack for my trip to Hell. That one was a doozie for sure!
