First and foremost, what bag to use as a carry-on?  We absolutely adore the Lo & Sons O.M. bag. We know we talk about it "all the time," but honestly you'll never find a NEAT girl without one!

Always remember to pack your makeup and toothbrush in your carry-on bag. God forbid you never see your checked bag again (fingers crossed) BUT just incase it is “lost” for a day or two, at least you can always brush your teeth and have a new face to reapply! 

Our Ash never travels away from home without this super cute Kate Spade cosmetic bag.

For the same reason, we always recommend packing your finest and most sentimental jewelry in something like this bag in your carry on.

Who says great things don't come in small packages? This minimergency kit has just about anything you could ever need in a pinch. Now, you can always be prepared for travel’s little hick-ups!

A few other things that seem like common sense to pack, but for some reason always get left behind on accident: your cell phone charger, camera charger, any medications, and maybe even your retainer?? (nerd alert!)

So now that we've shared our little traveling carry-on secrets, we hope your next trip will be a little more NEATly organized!

We pretty much want everything Anya Hindmarch makes, because like us… she loves a good label. This make-up bag has labels for each beauty product, making it a piece of cake to stay organized while traveling! And for the men, this dopp kit is both “handsome and classicaly rugged.”

Flight001 is the bomb.com (yes we just said that) when it comes to traveling! They offer a wide variety of items to help you travel like a pro. The FI Spacepak Tie Case neatly packs neckwear flat for the gents, while the FI Spacepak Lingerie Case for the ladies provides double compression to maximize space, and has 1 side for clean underpinnings and one side for dirty. Genius!

For women who can’t leave their baubles behind, this is pretty much the best in the industry for a travel jewelry organizer. For the sleek gentlemen who also appreciate fashion details, Brooks Brothers has the perfect travel case to store and protect cuff links, a watch, and your sunnies.

So now that we have organized packing figured out, where should we go???

Since we both feel that we are experts in organizing for travel as well, we wanted to share with you our number #1 travel tips... consider it an early Christmas gift!  Ashley cannot live without 3floz.com when she travels.  Daily beauty regiments should not be discontinued while traveling. This amazing site lets you choose tons of luxury beauty products in... you guessed it... 3 fluid ounces.  It is simply a dream come true!  

Molly cannot travel without her wireless card.  Nothing is a day ruiner quite like no internet on the plane, in your hotel or at your favorite coffee shop.  Wifi cards are a small item to pack that can make a big difference while traveling.  There are many options to choose from so it is best to go with a provider that is reliable... we will leave that decision up to you... :)  

We would love to hear your packing tips too - let us in on your best kept secrets! 

Safe travels!
