How to: Packing for New York

I am absolutely beyond excited for my first trip to New York!! Even better is, it's a birthday trip! I wanted to give you all my secrets and tricks to packing for a fun filled weekend in the city that never sleeps. 

There are some vacations that you don't have an agenda for and you just go with the flow... those vacations are for relaxing and beach laying. That will not be this trip. We pretty much have the entire New York experience jam packed into four days. My first step to packing for any trip is to make a list of all of the activities and the outfits I will wear during them (for safe measures I will put multiple outfits for one event). 

NY trip outfit list: 
Flight to: army green shift dress, black sandals, black floppy hat
Shopping on 5th: grey and white tank, white denim, scarf, open toe booties
Yankees Game: baseball t, boyfriend jeans, yankees hat, army green combat jacket
Night on the Town: white long sleeve dress, nude trench coat, strappy heels OR nude pencil skirt, red crop
Broadway: big black skirt, black tank, snakeskin heels, chunky necklace
Flight home: comfortable romper, long grey cardigan, studded sandals

I left space for my makeup, shower stuff, hair straightener, wand and anything I end up buying in New York (I know myself better than to think I won't buy anything). When packing, group the outfits together putting them in chronological order that way when you are actually on vacation you don't have to destroy your entire suitcase while searching for those jeans that go with that top. 

Making lists always helps!

I cannot wait to take tons of pictures and share with you all my first experience in New York!
