Most times I fly I take hand luggage only (tight I know) & have got it down to a fine art.
When I did used to weigh in, my bag would be around 12kg and then I would come home with lots of unworn clothes and unused toiletries, yes really!
The only time I don't travel with hand luggage only is when I ski and that is down to bulk more than anything!
I wanted to share how I pack for hand luggage only and stay within the very strict airport requirements for toiletries.
If I am flying in the morning I pack the night before, flying in the afternoon or evening I pack in the morning. What you don't remember can't be important right?
Firstly I gather toiletries, I must admit to buying sunscreen at the airport along with a nice body-wash and lotion - this time it was Soap & Glory.
I have a set of small bottles to decant shampoo & conditioner into and the rest are travel size Dermalogica products.
I already had the lovely REN freebies which have been around for a while now - in fact I picked up more with RED magazine at the airport :-)
Make-up wise I am happy just wearing mascara, my Desert Island product,
especially once I have a tan!
Next swimwear, nightwear & pretty underwear...
& a beach towel - I don't like to use hotel towels by the pool or on the beach.
Two skirts and two vest tops - the lovely paisley pants didn't make the final cut - & I am glad as they would have just stuck to my legs in the heat!!
Two maxi dresses - so cool & I can go braless (not well endowed!!)
Boden Breton & Fat Face shrug for cooler evenings (Breton went unworn)...
Accessories - I wore sandals to travel & took my Birkenstocks, the brightly coloured scarf has been to so many places with me & has been useful for a multitude of things.
I took a small leather bag, my Longchamp tote, sunglasses & my Deerheart necklace!
Before being placed in my bag I had three small piles :-)
& here we go - plenty of room left over, can be squished to fit in small places - nice & light too!
Here I am at the airport - not a great quality photo (Mr.L needs a lesson!)
Back to show daily outfits soonXX
