What to Wear in New York City 4 Days in December

November 18, 2016Sara 2 Comments

Don’t you hate it when you go out for one thing (hamburger meat for dinner) and end up getting 10 other things that weren’t even from the grocery store? We made a quick afternoon run, down one block to the Rabba which is like a bodega to pick up some hamburger meat so I could make chill for dinner. When we got they the girls decided the day was too nice and they wanted to walk to the mall and go to the grocery store there. It’s cheaper anyway so we went. Of course we side-tracked into Hot Topic because we have to walk right past it and the girls ended up with some things that I wish I could have saved for Christmas or their birthday but there was no way I could buy them in secret and said items were selling out fast. Man, kids are expensive :/

This post is the outfit options to for the What to Pack for New York City 4 Days in December list. A 4 day trip to NYC for Christmas with your girlfriends. The trip includes lots of walking around, sightseeing, dinners, and the theatre, and the outfit options will work for each of these scenarios. I only put together 10 outfits since this is a 4 day trip but there are many more combinations that are possible. For more information about the trip and packing list selections, go to the post I linked above.

Signing off because I ate too many cookies and I feel sick. Until next time 😉

What to Wear in Boston and San Francisco Outfit Options

November 11, 2016Sara 2 Comments

These are the outfit options that go with the What to Pack in Boston and San Francisco packing list. This was a request list for an Australian woman who is running the Boston Marathon in April. She is also extending her trip to include San Francisco and needed some ideas. Her running gear is taking up room in her carry-on so I only included two pairs of shoes. The temperature in these cities can range from 11*C to 16°C but may fluctuate higher or lower due to April’s unpredictability.

The requests were simple 3 weeks worth of outfits with an Audrey Hepburn/classic look and a Euro twist. She likes skinny jeans, trenches, and moto jackets with a colour palette of navy and black. Classic, comfortable, practical (two young kids) and easy to wear. I came up with 20 outfit options that can easily be replicated with pieces that you may already own.

I hope these can give you some inspirational for what to bring and wear on your trip.

What to Wear in Spain for Winter

November 4, 2016Sara Leave a Comment

Here are the 20 outfit options that I put together from the What to Pack for 10 Days in Spain in Winter packing list. This was a request based on a 10 day December/January trip to the Murcia region of Spain. It is a visit to meet the family of a significant other for the first time and she wanted to pack smart, while still keeping a casual elegance with a slight edge.

The average temperature for this region at this time of the year is 10°C-12°C which is a comfortable range without having to worry about winter storms or extreme cold. Although the chance of rainfall is higher at this time of year. For 10 days I put together 20 options that will cover a variety of situations from casual to a dressy New Years Eve party if needed.

I always recommend wearing your bulkiest and heaviest pieces layered on your flight to lighten your carry-on and since the reader is coming from a warmer, humid destination this is especially true. Wear your warmest pieces so that you aren’t too affected by the change in weather when you arrive at your destination (or if there are any layovers in colder cities). Have a great time!

Happy Friday guys! We are going to “Hogwarts” tomorrow 🙂

What to Wear in Paris, France for Spring Outfit Options

October 28, 2016Sara 4 Comments

Spending 5 days in Paris followed by a 7 day cruise along the Rhone River sounds like an incredible honeymoon, which is what these outfits were put together for. This is the outfit option post from What to Pack for Paris, France in the Spring (where you can see all the pieces laid out in a packing list fashion). While the trip is for 12 days I put together 20 outfit ideas that would take you through a variety of outings. Sightseeing, dinners of ranging levels of formal, walking, shopping, or just hanging out on the cruise ship enjoying the view.

April is an unpredictable month weather wise so I included a lot of sweaters and easy to layer items. Tights, or leggings are a good option to bring to layer underneath skirts, dresses, and even jeans if there is a really cold spell or on the boat where it can feel colder on the water. I really like this colour palette, and one of my favourite colours accents to add to blue, black, grey, and white is camel. It is only in 3 pieces (flats, cardigan, and scarf) but it really pops when you scroll through. I think an important step in putting together a travel wardrobe is to pick an accent colour that really contrasts nicely with what you have. It really ties things together.

Next week is a packing list for Murcia, Spain in Late December – early January.

Red is the accent colour I seem to have in my personal wardrobe, but I would really like to introduce more camel tones because I love it. Do you have a favourite accent colour?

What to Wear in London England Outfit Options

October 14, 2016Sara Leave a Comment

At the end of a week that seemed to fly by these are the outfit options that go with the items in the What to Pack for London England in Fall list. The trip is for around a two-week duration and I put together 20 outfit options with definite room to make more. I love this time of year because you can so many looks out of a few pieces by simply layering. It’s easy to take a look from day to night by a switch of the footwear, change of accessories, and a refresher of hair and makeup.

One of my favourite things to do when I get bored or uninspired with my wardrobe is to try to pair some pieces that I have never worn all together before to get a completely different look (this includes accessories because we all know accessories can totally change a look). This same general idea can be applied to what you bring on vacation. It’s easy to plan enough outfits for the duration of your trip but sometimes your trip gets extended or situations come up that call for a different level of dressiness and if you haven’t planned it that detailed then you might panic and go out and buy something. Rule of thumb is to always pack something that is easily dressed up, be it a dress or separates. Sometimes all it takes is to throw on a blazer and heels. I always like to include several pieces in black because black is a very easy colour to dress up with minimal effort in a pinch.

I hope this post was able to give you some inspiration. Have a great trip 🙂

Have a great weekend! (If you aren’t working. Working on the weekend generally sucks.)

What to Wear in Cambodia

October 7, 2016Sara Leave a Comment

In the last post What to Pack for Cambodia I said that you need to pack based on your itinerary because there are a vast variety of things to do in Cambodia that need very specialized packing lists. Many visitors spend time walking the jungles and depending on the time of year your packing needs would fluctuate. This packing list reflects a city and beach vacation. WHile Cambodia is very hot at any time of the year, certain months are less hot and less wet. The request for this list is for a December vacation which isn’t as hot, nor during the rainy season.

Since it is so hot the best fabrics to include are lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen. Because the sun can be very intense during afternoons I chose to include a long sleeve, light blouse to wear to keep the skin covered. A light night scarf also works well as a cover from the heat and/or for modesty while entering temples and certain buildings. It is easy to keep the shirt tied around your waist or in your purse with the scarf in case you need it. Since Cambodia can be modest I chose a one pieces swimsuit and a nice sarong cover (which doubles as a beach blanket). Most of the items are from Mango as a request because it an easy retailer to have shipped to her location. Each one of these pieces are easily procured in a variety of stores (or from your own closet).

I hope you have a great vacation, thanks for the request 🙂
