Hi guys, I hope you've all been well. I firstly want to apologise for the lack of posts over the last few weeks, starting a new job is way more stressful than I could of ever of thought. Plus going from 2 days a week to full time is a lot to handle, however I love it and I've met some great people yay! I am planning on doing an update post so hopefully that will be with you soon. Today I am bringing you a tips post for getting ready for your Summer holiday. If you want to read some of my past tips posts you can read my tips post for spring cleaning, getting summer ready and festivals. I hope you enjoy this post and let me know your top tips in the comments below.
Start shopping early
My first tip is to start the
shopping for your summer holidays, early. Going online and visiting sites like this one will help you to buy the swimwear, summer dresses, shorts and other
items you will need. Shopping early gives you the best choice, and allows you
to shop around to find the bargains.
Shop for outfits
Remember to shop for outfits,
rather than just individual items. This is the best way to make sure that you
look good regardless of what activities you want to enjoy while you are away. I always get great inspiration from other fashion bloggers such as The Kitty Luxe and Little Miss Fii as their style is on point.
Pick items that you can mix
and match
It is always a good idea to
buy items of clothing that are easy to mix and match. By packing tops, jeans,
skirts and shorts that are interchangeable and can all be worn with each other
you are giving yourself plenty of choice when it comes to putting together your
holiday outfits. Taking this approach should also greatly reduce the number of
items you need to pack, which opens up the possibility for you to travel only
with hand luggage. Doing this will save you both time and money.
Choosing the right footwear
Packing the right footwear is
important. The last thing you need is to end up wearing shoes that are
uncomfortable because they are all you took with you. It is much better to buy your
summer holiday footwear early and wear it around the house for a few weeks.
That way your shoes or sandals will be broken in and supple enough not to cause
blisters, which is the last thing you need when you are trying to enjoy your
holiday. All of the footwear you take
with you should be comfortable enough to walk in. That way should you get stranded
somewhere you will have no trouble walking back to your resort.
Always use a packing list
The best way to make sure that
you are not left rushing around the shops at the last minute is to use a
packing list. You can tick things off as you buy them, and cross them off as
you pack each item. There are plenty of packing lists available online, which
you can download and edit. Travel Checklist is a particularly
good source, because it produces pack list that are tailored to the needs of
all sorts of travellers.
