Christi Lukasiak: Hello. Hi. Welcome back to my channel.
My name is Christi Lukasiak and thank you for joining me today. Today's video is a little bit
different. We are doing a packing vlog because, well, by the time you watch this video, I will be
on a flight to France for almost three weeks. Christi Lukasiak:
And oh my cat's trying to get in my suitcase. Are you trying to get in? You can't come.
Christi Lukasiak: Okay. My world is a complete and utter, total
insane mess right now. I have stuff everywhere, I have... my closet is a disaster, my guest room is
a disaster. Clara's room? God knows what. I have things literally everywhere. I have no idea how
I'm going to pull this off and actually show up in France with clothes I want to wear, and that fit,
and that don't hurt my feet. So, we're going to try to do this together. So just prepare yourself.
So, there's a lot. Let me show you some of it. Christi Lukasiak:
So, the plan is to pack in one suitcase. I am a realist and I realized there's no way this
is happening. I'm going to pack in two suitcases. Now I'm going to try to get Clara to pack in one,
so I can bring an extra suitcase in case I need to buy butter. I need to buy butter in France. But I
literally have baskets full of things everywhere. Okay, look at this cat [inaudible 00:01:19]. Noble
just literally I sliced open my foot when I walked by him. It feels like I got stung by a mean bee.
My other dog is barking. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay, let me show you more. So this is my guest room right now that I have kind of turned into...
It looks like... I don't even know what. There is stuff literally everywhere. And my closet is even
worse. So, I'm very stressed out that I'm going to make sense of all of this, but we're going to do
it. We're going to do this. Noble, I hate this game. This is a mean, mean game. Mean.
Christi Lukasiak: I try to use packing
cubes for everything. So I will show you some of my packing cubes. And then this is my carry on.
I mean, I have a carry on, carry on, but this is my single person carry on. And besides cat,
I try to put my expensive bags in there so that I know they're not going to go missing. Okay.
Christi Lukasiak: So, I guess the goal is to try on all
of my clothes and accessorize them so that I know what I'm taking. But I have an actual spreadsheet
and I need to make sure that everything I'm taking plugs into a certain day, this is psychotic. Okay,
I want you to know, that I know this is psychotic. I don't think this is normal behavior. However,
I will be so happy when I get up and get dressed every day that I know exactly what I'm wearing.
So, that's the plan. Christi Lukasiak:
I feel like this is a really cute outfit for Loire Valley, which is where all the chateau are. Yes,
my bra will not be showing. And I need a bag and some shoes. This needs pockets, I need pockets,
but this is very cute, yes? I think this is cute. This is very French. I wish that my
waist was like [inaudible 00:02:56] a little bit skinnier, but it's fine. I don't care.
Christi Lukasiak: All right. Let's put some shoes on and see
what this looks like. I think this is cute. Right? And then I have my Chloe shoes. So this is a yes,
I like this. I like the cross body. I'm a big cross body lover. So like this, I think this is
a good little France outfit. My only problem is sometimes these shoes hurt. So I will always have
a pair of sneakers in my bag in case my feet hurt. And then I'll opt for wearing sneakers instead.
But I do think this is cute. Christi Lukasiak:
All right, this is going into one of the packing cubes. I know it's a lot. However,
this outfit is the outfit of my childhood fantasies. When I used to be like,
"Someday, I'm going to travel to the south of France." Dior has a restaurant that we're
going to breakfast in Saint-Tropez, and I feel like this is the perfect outfit for it
so let me show you. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay. I'm spending more time playing in my clothes than packing my clothes. So now
I'm getting concerned. But look at it. Isn't it pretty? Love this. Look. [Inaudible 00:04:04]
Christi Lukasiak: It spins, I love this dress. And I feel like,
yes, it's blue, my outfit is red, but I feel like my saddlebag has to go to the Dior restaurant with
us. Yes, I feel like it has to go. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay. I need to pack and stop playing truly. Okay, I think I'm going to wear this on our
shopping day in Paris. But, it's a little bit obnoxious because I have... Oh my God, wait,
my belt is on backwards. I'm like Karen from Mean Girls, I put my belt on backwards. Whoops.
Christi Lukasiak: Because I have a Dior belt,
I have a YSL bag, and then I have Valentino shoes, so that's obnoxious. But I like the way it looks,
so I do think I'm going to wear this when Clara and I go shopping one day,
this is fun. This is so Parisian. Christi Lukasiak:
Oh my God, I can't believe I get to go. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay, next one. Christi Lukasiak:
So I have to talk about this for a minute. I have a pink blazer and little tennies, but this is
absolutely something I would wear to the Louvre and have a blazer because I'm going to freeze
per usual. Plus I feel very professional, this is my professional Louvre outfit.
Christi Lukasiak: Okay. I know when and where I'm wearing
this dress. But, one of the little tricks I'm going to try this time, is to take everything on
wire hangers from my dry cleaners. So that after I wear it, I can just fold it and put it in my
suitcase and then throw away the hangers, because I feel like my hangers are always so bulky.
Christi Lukasiak: This is one of my favorite purses for the summer.
I freaking love this purse. And when I bought it, I was like, eh, I don't know if I like it.
I use this purse literally with everything. And I think I'm going to do this dress in both Èze, and
maybe in the lavender fields in Provence. Because wouldn't it be pretty for a picture with purple? I
think so. I think I like that. That's pretty. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay now, not only do I need to pack for myself which is clearly stressful. But I'm getting there,
I feel like I'm getting there. I'm getting there. But Clara gives me anxiety because,
well, first of all, I'm not allowed near her room. She panics. And second of all, she gets
rid of things. I'll have things that I buy... Oh, your room looks nice. I'll have things that I buy,
and then she's like, "Oh, I got rid of that." Christi Lukasiak:
Okay. So we are packing. You don't have a suitcase out yet?
Clara: No I don't.
Christi Lukasiak: Okay, so let's see. So here,
wait, let's add Clara. Clara:
Hi guys. Christi Lukasiak:
Hi. Okay. Ooh. I love these. Are you taking these? Why are these out?
Clara: Because I still need the top for them and like,
I need to put the top in it. Christi Lukasiak:
Oh, the top is in my car. Clara:
Oh, you got it? You got- Christi Lukasiak:
I got everything. Clara:
Okay. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay, Clara's closet is psychotic. Look at... That is psychotic. Who does that?
Clara: It's nice.
Christi Lukasiak: It's nice. My okay...
everything, look- Clara:
Okay sorry that mine isn't horrific. Christi Lukasiak:
Look at that, Clara. Clara:
I'm sorry I don't have a horrific closet. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay. So show us some of your France clothes. Clara:
So I mean, I'm basically taking my whole closet.
Christi Lukasiak: Because you have three things because
you get rid of everything. Clara:
No, that's not true. I just keep the nice stuff.
Christi Lukasiak: Okay. All right. Let's see,
show us some of the stuff. Clara:
Okay. I'm bringing- Christi Lukasiak:
Well pull it out. Clara:
All of this stuff. Christi Lukasiak:
Show me. That's cute, I love that outfit. Clara:
Yeah, It's like a little top and shorts. Christi Lukasiak:
High-waisted with a belt. Clara:
You're also having me to take this, right? Christi Lukasiak:
Do you want to take that? Clara:
I mean- Christi Lukasiak:
That's cute for Provence. What's that? Clara:
What? Christi Lukasiak:
That. Clara:
That's also just a short and bottom top. Christi Lukasiak:
Oh, that's cute. I didn't know you had a short and bottom top.
Clara: Yes you did. You bought
this for me two weeks ago. Christi Lukasiak:
But I didn't know it was a set. Clara:
And then this, and then I also need the top for this one.
Christi Lukasiak: Did we get that fixed too?
Clara: Yeah.
Christi Lukasiak: All of that is in my car.
Clara: I'm bringing most of my dresses. That, that dress,
that dress, that dress. Christi Lukasiak:
Show me your cute bags. Clara:
Oh, hold on. That's in a second. That dress, that one.
Christi Lukasiak: Oh, I like... Is that
little white dress your... Pull that white dress out, let me see it. Not that one. The little-
Clara: There isn't any other white dress.
Christi Lukasiak: Yeah, this.
Clara: No, that's yellow.
Christi Lukasiak: Oh, that's cute.
Clara: Yeah.
Christi Lukasiak: Oh, you're white dress is in my car.
Clara: Yeah. I'll bring that,
but it really needs ironed. Christi Lukasiak:
I love your marshmallow bag. I have the grownup version of that.
Clara: I'm bringing all my bags.
This is a knock off to your saddle bag. Christi Lukasiak:
Cute. I love that little purple bag. I love this bag. I'm mad I don't have that bag.
Clara: It's okay. I love it.
Christi Lukasiak: All right, so-
Clara: These are the main things.
These are the main cute things. Christi Lukasiak:
Shoes, shoes. All right. Well, we're going to have to get a suitcase out and start packing.
Clara: All right.
Christi Lukasiak: Okay. So Clara makes me feel badly about myself
because her closet is perfect. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay look, I'm very chaotic. I have chaotic energy and I'm just messy.
Christi Lukasiak: Because, I do stuff
like this where I throw everything and then I'm going to clean it and figure out what I want.
Yes, yes. I'm aware. It's chaotic. I'm getting there, okay? I'm getting there.
Christi Lukasiak: I have a lot of florals, but I feel like France
is perfect for florals, right? I mean. Christi Lukasiak:
Nikki, do you want to come with us? Barnes is getting exceptionally nervous because he knows
something is coming and he's not part of it. Right Barnes, are you so sad? You have to stay with that
mean cat, that cat's mean. Christi Lukasiak:
Okay. Honestly, I think this needs to be the end of the video because I am clearly not ready,
I need to go pack. Hopefully by the time you're watching this,
I am on a plane with all of my suitcases as they should be. And you will be enjoying
high-quality content across Instagram. So follow me on Instagram, and TikTok and all
the other places and say a prayer for me that I actually fit everything in my one suitcase.
All right. Thank you so much for watching. I'll see you next time. Au revior.
