What to Take on a Long Weekend Away?
On the beach, out for dinner and brunch perhaps even a spot of shopping.
My Packing List includes items you can buy from us through [The Shop] and staples from your own wardrobe.
HG Weekly has a ready made packing list you can buy from in our Summer Travel section, if you are really time poor.
To get the most out of what you pack for your 3 days you need to give some thought to what you'll be doing (if you know!) then the art is in the order you wear it.
Packing List for a Long Weekend Away...
Pack Our:
- 3 x Kaftans
- 1 x White Cotton Pants to layer under kaftans and create fabulous 'dinner and drinks' looks.
- 1 x Sarong
- 2 x Swimsuits (a figure flattering one piece is hard to beat)
- Sandals with bling or metallic shades
- Sunglasses
- Hat - Wider Brim (a girls got to protect her face and neck from the ravages of the sun)
- Accessories - to effortlessly transform a kaftan. Think bangles, necklaces and rings. Stash them in your clutch when you pack and you're set!
- A great Beach Bag. Fold a pack flat summer tote in for those afternoons out. Otherwise, use your clutch purse!
- Luggage Organisers - dirty laundry, lingerie and shoe bags. Again they pack down well and keep things separated so you can find them in a snap and keep the dirties away from the cleans!
Pack Your:
- 1x exercise shorts
- 1x fine cotton hooded track top
- 1x cotton t-shirt/tank
- 1x jeans
- knee length silk or cotton slip (to bed, in-house, under others)
- denim jacket
- t-shirt bra
- multiway bra
- undies - skin tone so very versatile! No need to think 'will this work under these?'
- rubber thongs (every day)
- wide brown leather belt - tied
- 1 x jogging shoes
- 1 x pair of socks
- 1 x camisole
- minimal makeup - bronzer, lip gloss, neutral lip colour, mascara and skin & hair products
- a beach towel
- sunscreen and tinted face sunscreen (which I wore at night...shock horror!)
See how we've done it in our Long Week-end Away Guide. Simply print it off and use it as your ready reference!
That's enough! Hope it helps.
