I’m the first to admit that I’m extremely fortunate when it comes to holidays; getting the opportunity to travel so frequently for the blog is an incredible perk and one that earns me endless hate – I know you love me really!
However there is some skill that comes to travelling a lot, often at a moments notice: I am the queen of packing and keeping it hand luggage only (there is nothing worse than standing at a baggage carousel at 1am on your return to a rainy UK only to discover that there must be a personal grudge against you by the baggage handlers, as that’s the only reason you bag is ALWAYS the last!). Frequent travelling, often out of season also means you get pretty good at knowing exactly what you do and don’t need and having it to hand – that includes travel size toiletries and cosmetics.
George very kindly sent me the greatest little wheeled carry on suitcase – take it from me, finding a good one of these really is the holy grail of frequent flying – filled with gorgeous swimwear and beachwear, perfect for summer getaways and when I’m seeking winter sun.
I got this gorgeous neon paisley bikini which works really well with a tan and is a good enough fit to jump in the pool for a splash about with Boo, I also picked out a couple of swimwear covers up – perfect for lazy days by the pool and they proved pretty popular with Boo and soon became her favourite poolside siesta blanket!
I often get asked how I’m able to pack so quickly and efficiently and if I’m honest there’s no real secret – just practice, a good list and a go to holiday wardrobe full of stylish and versatile pieces; thanks to George for adding for adding some key pieces.
Disclosure: We were sent beachwear and luggage by George for review. No payment was received and all opinions are 100% honest.
