00:08Hey guys it's Alyssa here and I'm really excited to show you how I pack to go home for the
00:13holidays
00:13but get this we actually shot this in virtual reality so if you really want to feel like you're
00:19here just hit the icon in the play bar pop this headset on and boom it's like you're in my
00:24room
00:253d realness i love to travel and i'm down to check out a new place just about every weekend but
00:31it's
00:32not all the time i get to go home and see my family and hang with my parents so i
00:37have a few essentials
00:38i like to bring to make sure i'm warm and cozy on the plane first and foremost this is an
00:42essential
00:42it's a giant blanket scarf bundle up like this and you're good to go i even top it off with
00:50a cute
00:50little sleep mask to just go full nap mode good night everyone i'll catch you in florida there
00:58are those days when you just wake up and you don't even know what you want to wear i like
01:02to start
01:03packing with a few basic essentials these are my personal favorites right now they're just a nice
01:08classic dark wash jean and then you just pair those with voila the classic white t-shirt the final basic
01:17item that i like to bring is a classic black leather jacket i tend to be really vintage inspired
01:25but it also feels really modern at the same time it's just like a classic outfit no matter the decade
01:30so even though i'm from florida where it's literally warm all year round i still like to bring some cozy
01:36essentials home to lounge around in and that usually starts with the comfiest pants that i own which are
01:43these cashmere sweatpants this is a life of luxury people honestly i don't even know why i'm packing the
01:49rest of this because i'm probably gonna wear these the entire time and some comfy sweaters some comfy
01:54knits it's like it's pumpkin spice season just get cuddly get cozy you'll probably find me in one of
01:59these cozy festive sweaters just baking cookies sitting by the christmas tree taking selfies and you know
02:05if there happens to be an impromptu family photo shoot you'll still look like cute and festive you also
02:10have to bring some pajamas home for the holidays step it up a notch with some silky pjs we've got
02:15this little lip print and you're probably gonna stay in these literally all day long until someone
02:20forces you to change for dinner i am notoriously an over packer but i try to avoid that by packing
02:26some
02:27really versatile fashion pieces this outfit does itself this one actually has a matching skirt or you
02:33can mix it up wear the shirt open over the t-shirt i love this little t-shirt polo dress
02:38because
02:38it's casual but i could wear this to like the grocery store with my mom and then you can never
02:43have too many layerable items like a fun turtleneck that can be thrown on you don't really get to wear
02:50corduroy any other time of year so i love to pack a classic pair of corduroys i really love these
02:55elastic
02:56waist pants because there's gonna be a lot of eating happening and you know who needs restrictive
03:01clothing over the holidays i happen to love these white combat boots because they're super comfy
03:08i also love a more festive heel i'm gonna bring them home where i can wear them on the couch
03:13when i count down to new year's i have two more trusty pairs a classic white sneaker also i've got
03:18some sparkly booties and these are good for going out with friends maybe a little nightlife there's no
