While my road trip won't be anything like Romy and Michele's glam jaunt to their high school reunion or Jack Nicolson's too-cool-for-school joy ride in Easy Rider the idea of exploring the heartland is ultimately romantic and a once-in-a-lifetime treat.
So I have Refinery29 to thank for mapping out the essentials for three different destinations: the Pacific Coast, the South West and the Southern zig-zag. My trip will take me from Seattle, Washington back to NYC -- so my wardrobe (or what I can fit in my travel bag!) will consist of classic Americana staples: striped shirts, Levi's jeans and aviator sunglasses.
So head over to Refinery29 for more travel tips. And if you're panning a road trip let us know what you're packing for the ride in the comments section below.
