WHAT TO PACK FOR A FALL WEEKEND GETAWAY

packing for a fall weekend getaway

Hey beautiful people! Hope you are all having a great week. I am gearing up for a vacation to the west coast next week and I couldn’t be more excited to unwind and get the sand between my toes!! And also reunite with my college bestie, Sarah ❤️ Speaking of vacations, Aaron and I just went of a quick little getaway to Butler County, Ohio which is just north of Cincinnati. It was only 2 hours away from where we live so it was the perfect, quick little getaway and to explore somewhere new! Sometimes life gets crazy with balancing work, visiting family and friends, it’s nice to get some time with just your significant other. We had a BLAST despite the rain and chilly weather and highly recommend to if you live in the midwest! We did SO many unique things I never would’ve gotten to do here in Indiana. To see some of those, head over to my Instagram Highlight under “Travel”! More to come on all the details of our adventures…🤗

As fall is approaching it’s the perfect time to schedule a weekend getaway! It’s SO important to take time to schedule a trip or two before it gets crazy with the holidays. refresh your mind and spent some quality time with the ones you love! And just remember, it doesn’t have to be anywhere fancy or exotic. There are a TON of great gems here in the midwest! Wether you’re going to Indy, Chicago, St. Louis or even Butler County (which I loved), I’ve created a packing list for your fall getaway so you won’t forget anything. Packing can be stressful so don’t worry girl, I got you! I’ve linked everything below if you want to see some of my favorites!!

PETITE FALL STYLE

1. LOOSE KNIT SWEATER

Perfect for those days where it’s chilly in the morning and cools up in the afternoon!

2. COMFY SNEAKERS

These are a MUST. We walked around to so many little shops and restaurants my feet had no time for heels you feel me?!

3. DISTRESSED DENIM

I’m not going to lie to you… I packed one pair of jeans for the weekend and that was perfect! So stretchy, comfy and perfect for any location you’re headed.

4. COZY CARDIGAN

Cardigans are a GIVEN when it comes to travel. It’s so nice to throw on and off all while feeling comfortable. Cozy is KEY!

5. MAKE UP SETTING SPRAY

When you’re out and about all day you don’t want your makeup to wear off. I am obsessed with the Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray. Holds my makeup ALL day (rain or shine) and smells so good!

6. UTILITY JACKET

This is a fall must have. It’s an elevated way to wear a jacket and a nice way to spice up your basic t-shirts!

7. BASIC T-SHIRT

When traveling, it’s all about functionality. Grab your favorite basic tee to layer under your favorite jackets!

8. LAYERED NECKLACE

I love the idea of the three layered necklaces. It looks super trendy and it’s packing friendly because it’s 3-in-1! YAS

9. BLUSH + BRONZER + HIGHLIGHTER TRIO

THIS WAS MY SECRET WEAPON! Sorry for the all caps, I am just so obsessed with this product. You not only can use it for your bronzer, blush and highlight but I also used them as an eyeshadow! Genius.

10. LARGE PURSE/BAG

Having a large purse or bag is most necessary. You need a spot for all your snacks, DUH!
