Hot Holiday Style Must Haves That Make Packing Easy

October 5, 2018

Personal Safety Tips for Travellers | Style & Life by Susana

Packing your suitcase for an exotic holiday can be a stress provoking experience as often the styles are not your usual go to pieces, especially when you’re getting ready to jet off to a hot climate away from winter in your normal home habitat.

Making sure you can prepare the right outfit for every activity is key, and this can differ depending on the location of your next getaway – perfect beachwear can bring your sun drenched Aussie holiday ideas to life, whereas a chic summer dress will help you to turn heads on a fashion focused Parisian adventure.

So, if you’re a little confused about which pieces you must purchase and pack in order to flaunt your holiday snaps with pride, then read on to uncover some of the best top tips that can help you get started today! 

“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.” Susan Heller

The Basics 

It may seem fairly obvious to get the basics right, yet still many different pieces may be missed during your excited packing which you will dearly miss when you reach your destination.

Focus first on your day to day outfits – time at the beach calls for swimwear, along with the right coverup to slip on and off with ease.

For days spent shopping or sightseeing, pack comfortable and light clothing such as skirts and dresses that can give you more ventilation to help keep cool, along with vest tops in cool shades to minimise the chance of getting t-shirt tan lines.

Fitting Footwear

One of the most important yet overlooked aspects of holiday fashion that often gets forgotten during the packing stage is footwear.

Shoes complete an outfit and failing to include the right pair can mean that your look falls flat, plus there are many adventure activities that you may fancy which require something more more sturdy than a sandal.

Address your schedule for each day and decipher what footwear will work sufficiently, providing both aesthetic value and comfort for long day trips.

Black strappy heels can be paired with several different styles, from casual jeans to classy dresses, so be sure to include these in your suitcase for ultimate adaptability.

Location Specific Items

Though you may believe hot climates have similar weather patterns, it can differ dramatically depending on location.

For example, some destinations get beaten by the sun during the day but drop into the minus temperatures at night, whereas others might experience rain storms or other dramatic weather events.

Places You Should Travel Depending on Where You Are in Life | Style & Life by Susana

Preparing yourself for this could not be simpler, as there are so many blog posts made by previous visitors that can shed some light onto what might work for you.

Light jackets may not be enough to keep you warm when you party the night away on the beach, so remember to plan ahead and factor in any extras.

“ Packing is basically: If you’re going on a weekend, then just take what you’re really going to wear. And how many times are you going to leave the room? If that makes any sense. Like if you’re going to sleep, read & sit by a fire chunky knit sweaters, leggings, comfortable boots. But if you’re going on like a party weekend, then bring your favorite pieces and make sure you’ll wear them.“  Rachel Zoe

Making a style statement on holiday has never been so simple when you follow these steps! Start with the basics and ensure you have the right shoes to match, then do some research to identify some location specific items to seal the deal.

#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.

It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love. 

And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me. A butterfly is re-emerging 🦋 #butterfly #mentalhealthsupport #anxietysucks

It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & many of you know I suffer terribly from severe anxiety & depression. And for the past year, my self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief has bungee jumped severely way way WAY downnnnnnnn low...!

I am at a constant inner war battle within myself, and my self worth. But today is the first step forward doing an outfit shot. 

Do I like this photo or outfit? Meh! 🤔 I am showing me in this present moment. A vulnerable, fragile and insecure me but one who is slowly, desperately: trying. And by doing that, I'm actually empowering my spirit & soul. By TRYING. I'm not, and will not allow my mental health issues to define, me. 

So, once upon a time I only wanted to show only the good photos that I liked to be shown on my blog/social media... I was afraid to show (reveal) my human flaws, my icky shots when I felt shitty, ugly, old(er), bloated, fragile (mental health) moments. Not anymore.

Today I make a conscious decision to show what the day is really like for me. In all its beauty: the good, the bad and the (OMG what was she thinking) ugly; but in all its glory. Its a positive day.

Outfit: turtle neck jumper from Kmart Australia , cargo tartan pants & knee high boots from PrettyLittleThing.com, handbag from Salvos Stores
