TV star Shelly Horton, 48, shares how she packed ALL her luggage in one handbag

Television personality and host Shelly Horton has impressed hundreds online after packing travel essentials in a small handbag for an overnight trip to Sydney. 

The 48-year-old, from the Gold Coast in Queensland, didn’t bring any luggage besides the tiny shoulder bag as she was only interstate for 15 hours.  

She packed a silk kaftan, underwear, deodorant, a phone charger, makeup, perfume, moisturiser sample, face mask, makeup remover wipes, a hair tie, toothbrush and medication. 

‘Now this is how you pack,’ she said a video shared on Instagram.

‘I was in Sydney for just 15hours so no time for luggage. Look at what I fit into my handbag!’ Shelly captioned the Instagram post.

She filled the tiny bag will all the essential items and only packed exactly what she needed.

‘I’m at the airport, and look at that. Feeling like a little bit of a rockstar,’ she said.

Packing lightly also meant Shelly didn’t waste any tiny checking in luggage and wasn’t weighed down by heavy carry-on bags.

She also only took one pair of shoes – the heels she was wearing. 

Her packing skills impressed others on social media, and many aspired to obtaining her skills. 

‘Goals. I’m the one with the suitcase just for my shoes,’ one person wrote. 

‘That is some aspirational packing,’ another wrote, a third added: And looked fabulous of course.’

When packing lightly, it’s important to avoid packing last minute and to prioritise multi-functional items – such as clothes and shoes you can wear more than once.
