Gap Floral Ruffle Dress- $59.95
Whether you take trips frequently or not, chances are you pack more than you need, and don’t have enough space in your bag for all your items. This is a common problem for me, especially when trying to avoid paying for multiple check-in bags. I usually end up stuffing all my items into a carry-on bag and sitting on top of the bag to zip it closed. Packing clothes, undergarments, shoes, jewelry, hair styling tools, and make-up into a carry-on bag requires a fair amount of strategizing. Thankfully, Flight 011 takes care of a lot of the thinking for me and has made packing somewhat enjoyable for me.
Flight 001 has designed a Spacepak System that makes the best use of suitcase space while achieving maximum compression. Their garment bag compresses your clothes and designates one side for clean clothes and the other side for dirty laundry.
You might be thinking, why not just use a Space Bag to compress clothes and create more space? I used to be a big fan of the Space Bag, but traveling often and not having access to a vacuum essentially makes the Space Bag a less practical option. The Flight 001 Spacepak doesn’t require a vacuum. As you zip up the Spacepak, air escapes thru the vents, thus compressing the clothes within.
The System has bags not just for your clothes, but also for your shoes, toiletries, undergarments, ties, and suits. They even have bags for wet clothes and gym gear! I am not the only one raving about Flight 001’s Spacepak Stystem. Celebrities like Molly Sims, and U.S.A. Today’s Julie Morgenstern also have wonderful things to say. Flight 001 Spacepak System was even voted Travel & Leisure Magazine’s Product of the Year!
Check out the video below to see how it works, and take a look at the Spacepaks on Flight 001’s website.
One of the absolute best parts about dressing for spring is putting away that heavy winter coat and replacing it with something much lighter. Spring outerwear is all about the trench coat. The classic belted trench is versatile, and works with any outfit at any time of day. They keep you warm and cozy and give the right shape to your body. They can do no wrong!
Now as it gets warmer, running out of the door with just your purse and no coat can lead to trouble. Spring may be beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable. Have you ever found yourself outside the house for longer than you expected or realized it wasn’t as warm out as you initially thought? There is a solution! Burberry has designed a trench that is so compact it can fit in a bag. This makes the decision to wear a coat so much easier.

While Burberry’s trench is innovative, it may break the bank for some of us. Don’t fret, you can recreate this concept on your own. Take your lightweight trench coat, purchase a small nylon bag that will fit your trench coat and throw it into your purse. Voila! You’ve got your own packable trench. Here are some options for more affordable trenches and zip pouches:

The Petrie Sofa from Crate & Barrel has been a fan favorite for a while. So much so that Apartment Therapy has featured 8 living rooms with the sofa.
We wanted to add one more stylish room to the mix. The white Petrie sofa and dark indigo coffee table are perfectly contrasted by the pop of pink flowers.
Happy International Women’s Day from the Pickie team!
