What's In Your Carry-On with Jeanne Chan

I'm super excited to start a new series...what's in your carry-on bag.  We all have our must haves when we travel.  Remember mine?  You can check it out here.

To kick off this series, Jeanne Chan of Shop Sweet Things is giving us a peak into her must haves's when she travels.  She's going to be heading to Montreal soon.

I first met Jeanne at a blogger event in the city.  I had actually discovered her blog and it was a daily read before I met her in person.  She's a pretty amazing mama, a business woman and blogger.

You're headed on vacation - where would you want to go? 

Luckily, I’m headed off to Montreal, Canada in just a couple of weeks. I’ve heard that it’s a very beautiful city and it has such a strong influence from France. I’ve always wanted to visit France, but it would be too difficult to explore that with my 20 month-old baby. We’re happy to meet halfway in Canada and check out Montreal. I can’t wait to see Quebec City!

What carry-on bag would you bring? 

I love my travel luggage from Longchamp and my carry-on from Louis Vuitton. It’s all I really need. 

What would be the 5 things that you would have to have?

A trench coat, a pair of cute & comfortable flats, my levi’s jeans, a travel friendly handbag, and my iPhone!

City Crush:: My Carry-On Bag

I'm heading to Utah for an event in a couple of days and thought it would be fun take a peak into my carry-on bag. 

I have a lululemon bag very similar to this.  It fits everything perfectly.  There is a spot for my laptop and all the other travel necessities.  I'll definitely be carrying my laptop with me, but these are things that I always travel with.  I'm completely spoiled by my Dr. Dre earphones.  I use them all the time.  Of course the iPad is a must so I can catch up on my ibook I'm currently reading {making ideas happen by Scott Belsky}.  Totally sad but the reading glasses have to go everywhere with me now, but at least they're cute.  I tend to like to wear flip flops when travel (not this trip...it's gonna be a little chilly) but Lucy socks are a must.  My go-to snack bar are Think Thin Chunky Peanut Butter Bars...so good!  And most definitely my camera so I can take fabulous pictures.

(side note: sometimes I travel with an HP 470 Mobile Printer and it fits perfectly in this bag, along with everything else.  I pack all the chargers in my suitcase so I don't have a ton of cords.)
