Going home for a month

In order to prepare for the wedding, I'm going back to Virginia for about a month. I need to move the rest of my stuff out here and spend time with my family before I am out here for good. Since I'm going to be living out of a suitcase for a month, I thought I would share my packing methods.

Clothing

I will be incorporating these bags to protect my shoes and clothing:

UPPTÄCKA - Packing bag, set of 4 - Ikea

Toiletries & Hair Products, Cosmetics, Jewelry

Here are the bags I will be using to corral my items:

1. Toiletries & Hair Products - Mary Kay Travel Roll-Up Bag

I like this bag because the four sections are removable. I can take one bag containing shampoo, conditioner, etc. directly into the shower with me.

2. Cosmetics - Missoni for Target Famiglia Cosmetic Bag (sold out at Target, but you can find this on eBay)

This bag is nice and roomy. It's definitely large enough for a month's worth of makeup!

3. Jewelry - Drawstring Bag and Plastic Jars from the Container Store.

These pill containers are perfect for individual necklaces or a few pairs of studs.
