packing princesses

Wow, what an eventful summer holidays these have been so far ! They are both Bella and I's last holidays before we start grade 12 and so I think we are going a little crazy with travelling !! By the end of the 8 weeks, we will have been on 15 aeroplanes, to 9 airports and 11 different destinations combined. There will be ample posts to come but we thought to give you something to chew on we would do a post of our absolute essentials when it comes to packing.

1. Frankie magazine - perfect for airport time, plane rides, car trips and down time

2. Birkies - so comfy, perfect for sightseeing, festivals and if you get a neutral colour they really do go with everything !

3. Sunnies - what can I say? there will always be sun. AND there are so many groovy pairs on the market right now !

4. Notebook - for recording travels, thoughts, any drawings, lists and budgeting

5. Shoulder bag - such a good size to hold everything for transfers or day trips

6. Denim jacket - an essential because perfect for any in-between season

7. Camera - iPhones are good but if you are really looking to capture the aesthetic of a city why not bring a point n shoot or splurge on an SLR ! (I recently purchased a Fuji X-T10 and it has been a dream)

We hope packing gets you guys as excited as it does us when travelling ! Until next time...
