Packing can be literally the worst thing you do in relations to a trip. If you're like me, you wait until the last second before a trip and hop in the car, hazard lights on, racing to the airport. In reality, you probably wait until the night before, thinking you work better under pressure but really just mentally fighting over what shoes to bring...or if you should bring all of them...

Instead of doing that, here's a loose list of what you should be packing for your business trip!

My carry-on: a black business shoulder bag.

1. Laptop (or iPad).

2. Chargers.

3. A good, inspirational book + things to keep you busy.

4. A toothbrush + perfume.

5. A nice wallet that doubles as a clutch.

6. Small bottle of water + snacks.

7. Moisturizer.

8. Work.

My checked bag: a black, small roller bag.

1. One skirt.

2. Two nice blouses.

3. Two dresses.

4. One to two blazers.

5. One pair of nude heels.

6. One pair of black heels.

7. One formal dress.

8. Makeup (for natural and evening looks).

9. Toiletries.

10. An extra set of casual clothes + shoes (seriously...comfortable shoes).

11. PJs.
