Holiday Packing

The boyfriend and I have taken a last minute vacation to beautiful Turkey. We have visited Turkey for many years and it's one of our favourite destinations. The people, the landscape, the sea, the food, the markets all make for a fantastic break.

Beautiful Turkey

So what have I packed for the holiday? I start as always, by writing my 'What To Pack List' detailing what to wear every AM and PM, then listing extras such as sportswear, what to pack in hand luggage and beauty products.



I've gone for quite a simple colour palette this time, lots of whites, some stripes, some black and navy, metallics and a couple of dashes of pink.

Daytime outfits
Evening outfits

I'm only taking a few pairs of sandals, with tan for day and black and metallic for evening as these 3 pairs will work with all my after hours outfits.

Evening shoes

I always take along a hair mask, a good cleanser, fun nail polishes and a rich body moisturiser when visiting somewhere hot.

A very small selection of my beauty stash

In my hand luggage I pack a light scarf as I'm always freezing on planes, my iPad, some beauty essentials such as lip balm and face oil, a good book and I divide our travel documents into various pouches which I then use as evening bags when on holiday.



I begin by packing the heavy items such as shoes (all in shoe bags) in the bottom of the suitcase. To be extra organised underwear goes in it's own little bag, as do my bikinis. Then I fold everything and fill up the suitcases. Beauty products are placed on top with my extra reading material and then I'm good to go!


Happy Holidays!
