Travel Series: What to pack for travelling in style

Boom! Boom! Boom!
My heart is racing... 
Racing to the beat of a drum...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Nerves are creeping up inside me
Fear is close to taking over
I can't possibly live like this!

Let me paint you a picture of my current living state.

I have 3 wardrobes, hundreds of shoes, a party dress for any occasion and don't get me started on work clothes. All my wardrobes are bursting with clothes and shoes.

And now I'm expected to take only a few items... how is it possible to choose? What if the Queen wants to have dinner or what if I'm invited to red carpet event?

I can't possibly fit all the necessary 'in case of' items into my suitcase so I've really had to think hard about what to pack. And my conclusion is...

Keep it simple and bring back the basics!

You will need a few t-shirts to wear with skirts, shorts and jeans. And my choice is all things monochrome! Black, white, navy and grey, you can't go wrong!

Next you'll need your bottoms! Pack shorts, one casual pair and one a little bit dressier! From day to night, you can dress things up with a change of shoes and adding some sparkle. And don't forget to pack your Summer skirts. I've been told Europe can get pretty warm during Summer, so pack a comfortable one for the heat and one that can be dressed up.

Don't forget to pack your favourite jeans. They are perfect for trans-seasonal weather and look great day and night.

You will also need to pack a few Summer dresses for the beach and sightseeing. And pack your trusty L.B.D. This is a must have for a night out. You'll be wearing it a lot. Change your accessories to give a new look. And when the cold rolls in, add a jacket and some leggings to keep you toasty warm.

Also, you'll need a trusty jacket for every occasion. My jacket of choice is a blazer. They look great with t-shirts and jeans, dresses and they are suitable for work outfits.

And finally, playsuits! They are easy to wear and super cute for Summer. Pair them with your converse during the day and step into your heels after dark.

What can't you live without when your travelling?
