Love this list and your super cute luggage! Have the best time!
Please tell me you packed your kitty! LOL! My cat would always hide away in my suitcase!
Great list! I love your luggage!
Great list especially the pink highlighted ones which we always forget
I love your suitcase! And your cat is so precious. This was a helpful list.
Cute post! I’m off to Mexico next week to visit my bestie so this was super helpful! Going to add bikinis and sunscreen to my list too though 🙂
I love your suitcase! It’s so pretty. Have a great weekend! 🙂
Hope you have a good trip!!!
I love this! I hope you have a FANTASTIC time with your BFF, make lots of memories, and enjoy the weekend together. <3
Weekend trips are so much fun – I hope you have a blast visiting your bestie!
I haven’t planned a weekend trip in far too long. I typically overpack, so it’s nice to see a realistic list of things to bring!
Oh if I could just pack that neatly. I could learn a lot from this post. I always over pack and still manage to forget something important.
Love this list! I too think clothes and shoes are the fun part 🙂 but we can’t forget the necessities!
There is something about packing posts that I just love! Great post and great packing tips
Hi Taylor,
I love packing tips and these are some great ones! Weekend trips are the best, especially with besties!!

Thanks for this amazing list. I always make a list of my own but this will really help me remember small small things I forget.
sounds like it will be a great weekend. enjoy the time with your bestie!!
That’s a handy list. I always forget something though, even by making a list! 😀
I love a good weekend getaway! This post is so helpful! Have fun babe!
I’m sharing this with my bestie so that we can go on a trip!
This is the perfect list, sweetheart! But, will you pack for me?

What a great list! Its not even easy to plan and pack 😀
You know packing for a few days seems like such a simple thing. But, it is not! People like myself tend to over pack which is not fun. Thank you for the ideas.
I loved this list, thanks so much for sharing the most often forgotten items! I’m going on a weekend trip this next weekend for my besties Bachelorette Party, so this post came at the perfect time for me! Thanks for sharing love!
I am the person who packs too much or not enough. I also have stopped bringing my laptop most of the time just because I end up being so busy and worried about it not being safe. LOL You suitcase is adorable. I think the best thing I think I ever did was get a bag with wheels lol
Your list is very helpful Taylor especially the travel aids! Hope you enjoyed your weekend with your best friend! Thanks for the share.xx
