NYC Vacation: The Packing Meltdown

Tomorrow I’m traveling off to NYC (with my great aunt, aunt-aunt and my cousin…and my sister for the weekend) for a week of super fun Wintery-Christmas-y-big-apple stuff. Of course, as any girl would, I’m sort of freaking out about what to wear in the City that Never Sleeps…oh the HUMANITY.

How is it possible to pack all my coolest, slouchiest, Isabel Marant-iest things without breaking my back like a freaking tourist pack mule.
