Packing Tips: Pack Light and Right this Summer Holiday with these top tips.
19 December 2007
Packing and relaxing usually don't go together but I'm here to tell you, they can! Try this packing mantra, circular breathing and all if it helps, and you'll be able to plough through and get through, without raising a sweat.
"ummm...think about what you will be doing, ease up on the shoes, the right underwear is vital, max out on accessories and if you haven't worn it at home, don't pack it girl...ummm"
Think about it ...just a little:
Measure thrice and cut once as they say.
- Think a bit about where you are going and what you might be doing. No point packing hiking shoes if you are lazing by the pool and beach the entire time!.
- Cull - lay it all out on the bed and plan your outfits for each day. Be ruthless. One 'just-in-case' dress as a spare and no more!
Sequence is Everything:
- Wear the night before what you are going to wear the next day. Involves a bit of planning but will save your suitcase from overloading. Remember...less is more!
Ease up on the Shoes:
contrary to popular belief you can get away with 2 pairs of shoes, 3 if you plan on a beach run every morning.
- Thongs - beach and day
- Metallic sandals or neutral wedges - day into night
- Joggers - if you must
The Right Underwear:
- Flesh coloured undies are perfect and go under any colour clothing – nothing worse than ending up with a black pair of undies and white trousers!
- a multi-way bra means you don't have to worry about the tops you take and unsightly straps.
Max out on the Accessories:
Accessories are the antioxidants of the packing world and will do wonders to enliven clothes and transform a look from beach to bar. They don't take up much room but boy do they pack a punch!
If you don't wear it at home, then don't take it on holiday!:
Outfits can be transformed but if something doesn't quite fit as it should it mostly certainly will not fit perfectly on holiday. Also forget any item of clothing which is a little bit too tight because once you have added suncreams and a bit of heat it will feel tighter than ever!
Ciao bellas.
Until next time....happy packing!
