Strong Women

Celebrating International Women's Day today. Did you know in some countries it is a national holiday? Since 1911 this day has marked the economic, political, and social achievements of women. 

I am so grateful for all the strong women in my life!

Packing

                             

Diane von Furstenberg: The Bearable Lightness of Packing.

When I first watched this clip I thought I was going to be imparted some serious packing wisdom from the source.  However, what the video lacks in packing direction, DVF makes up for with her chic sensibility as well as joie de vivre.  She says,"if you pack lightly, you live lightly."  Hmmm...

I have packing on the brain of late.  As a compulsive over-packer, I have been hunting for tips for more efficient ways to get to the same result:  a cohesive, chic, appropriate look for my destination while staying within my means (and my suitcase!).  These directions from a pair & a spare sum it up packing well.

Maybe next time my suitcase will be a little more organized!
