How To Pack A Carry-On For 11 Days Of Travel.

My mission...  

Pack for 11 days of travel (including New Year's Eve, a wedding dress rehearsal and wedding) using only this...

A carry-on piece of luggage.  Baggage allowance restrictions force me to keep it my luggage to 40 pounds in total weight and 45 inches in total measurement.

(Mother fuckers!)

Well, you know what?  I did it!

Here's everything in the case...

And here's the total weight of the piece...

(It's 28 pounds, photographed upside down.)

Bet you're wondering what I've packed, huh?  Here you go:

• 1 pair of jeans (I'm wearing a second pair on the plane.)
  
• 1 red cotton dress
  
• 1 purple cotton dress
  
• 1 pair of leggings
  
• 1 pair of Tory Burch silver flats
  
• Flipflops
  
• Manolo Snakeskin Sandals
  
• Calypso Silk dress (for wedding)
  
• Black Theory Tank (to go under the Calypso dress, as it is lowcut, and I don't feel like showing off the "goods in the hood")
  
• Black Anthropologie dress (for rehearsal dinner and possibly New Year's Eve)
  
• Yoga pants (for working out)
  
• Sports bra
  
• Tank (for working out)
  
• Favorite gym shirt
  
• 5 tank tops
  
• Blazer
  
• Black sweater
  
• As much underwear as possible (in reality, about 6 pairs)
  
• Two bras
  
• Yoga pants (for sleeping)
  
• Tank (for sleeping)
  
• Longsleeved tee (for sleeping)
  
• T3 travel blowdryer
  
• Adapter/Converter for dryer
  
• 2 brushes
  
• Comb
  
• Make-up bag
  
• Tampons (TMI? Well, you always have to be prepared people!)
  
• 1 Sweater vest
  
• 1 White cotton blouse
  
• 1 Black trendy top for going out
  
• 2 necklaces
  
• 1 pair of earrings
  
• 1 Bikram yoga top
  
• 1 pair of Bikram yoga shorts
  
• 1 bag of beauty products (3-1-1 rule!)
  
• 1 make-up bag
  

Before you begin to wonder how I will survive with only 6 pairs of underwear... I plan on doing laundry while I am there.  Actually, I will probably give it to the hotel to do for me.

And here's what's going in my personal carry-on:

• laptop
  
• camera
  
• three DVDs
  
• 1 book
  
• eye mask for sleeping
  
• hand lotion
  
• lip balm
  
• passport
  
• sunglasses
  
• eyeglasses
  
• iPod
  
• Power cord
  

And here's what I will wear on the plane:

• Burberry trench coat
  
• Blue Scarf (also a shawl)
  
• Tank top
  
• Bikram yoga hoodie sweatshirt (Gotta represent!)
  
• Jeans
  
• Sneakers
  

Vacation, here I come!
