A Guide to Packing (for that break away)

Having spent the last week debating what clothes to take with me ready for my move to Bournemouth, i started to think about how we pack for our holidays. I need to take just enough to keep me going in my new job for two weeks whilst i wait for the rest of my belongings and clothes to join me.

My new job is in retail so i need to make sure i pack clothes that are versatile and on-trend.

I still haven't decided on what I'm taking but i did check out some packing guides on the net, this one from http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/tips/womenpack.htm caught my attention - see what you think!

Packing Essentials

• If you won't wear it more than three times, don't bring it!
• Pack light, wash frequently, buy it if you need it
• Your pack should weigh about 20 percent of your body weight, preferably no more than 20 pounds
• Limit yourself to one carry-on size bag: 9" x 21" x 13"
• A week before your trip, pack your bag with everything you think you want to take, and carry it around for a day. Is it comfortable? Too heavy? Better to know now than later!

I thought the third line was so funny, it would give me the equivalent of a hanky!

So my ideal suitcase - well it would contain some of the following

Vanessa Bruno Jacket

with a cute silk top and

Phillip Lim Trousers

Alexander McQueen Dress
