To wear travelling:
Next Bikini Top £20 Bottoms £18 |
M&S Swimsuit £35 This swimsuit has gorgeous detail on the back, my favourite one piece I have seen |
Hat and Bag: as above |
I always think linen T-shirts are really useful in lots of different colours to sling on with your shorts for a trip to the beach, Mango have a great selection and also boho tops look great for the beach.
I also treat myself to a White Company beach towel.(30% off at the moment £15.40) luxurious and thick and looks great.
Trip To The Market:
Boho Top: H&M £29.99 White Distressed Jeans: Topshop Baxter £40 Dress: Asos £75 Bag and Sandals as above |
Dress: Whistles Bag: Accessorize £35 Jumpsuit: Wallis £52 Sandals: As above |
My Style:
My favourite and practical outfit from last year, I wore it loads!:
Top: Mango Shorts: Gap Espadrilles |
So hopefully this year there is really no need for me to over pack as I only ever wear key items, I hope this has helped any packing dilemmas and you can now arrive at the airport and not have to face the dreaded excess baggage charges...Happy Holidays x
Great post, I am the worst contender for over packing and only wearing a tiny amount and this year it's going to be different, I'm going to amaze my family with my small suitcase!

Thanks Abbi, best of luck with the packing this summer xx
DeleteI pack absolutely loads, but have started to streamline and mix and match it the last few years. Love the ASOS boho dress and your fab top in the picture.
ReplyDeleteMe too Emma, I really have to practice what I preach..this summer just a capsule wardrobe, the Asos dress is lovely! x
DeletePerfect packer! Can you come and do mine?! xx
ReplyDeleteHa Michelle, I am soo going to try pack small this year!
DeletePerfect. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks H xx
DeleteWe aren't going away this year with baby due end of this month. We did go away a few times last year tho & I always overpack as I tend to take enough for an outfit a day plus a clean one for the evening. Well mainly two tops per bottom for example. I've never experienced excess baggage charges though so I guess I'm getting it kind of right!!
ReplyDeleteYep, you must be getting it right, we always do but I think that is because I pack far too much for the kids too! xx
DeleteI'm sold on your beachwear - my perfect summer look:) Off to shop for this jumpsuit, love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I love a jumpsuit on holiday xx
DeleteLast year I totally overpacked. So near the end of the Hols I sat and wrote a list of the items we had actually used and worn. Including how much sun creams in each factor. I always bring way too much 50 and those bottles are really heavy.
ReplyDeleteNot this year. I am so confident that I will only be bringing half the stuff that I have only booked one suitcase in the hold. Plus two overhead suitcases. Not bad for a family of four.
Oooo that is just the best idea ever, love it, I will do that this year with the kids stuff, genuis! xx
DeleteLoved this post Frances. Lots of inspiration - thank you xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Donna xxx
DeleteFab post Frances, loving your outfit sets. I am going tomorrow and this year I am going to invest in one of those sarong, beach throw things You talked about they are far chic than a towel to lie on and more useful. Lovely picture of you and your 2 little ones... Beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Anne-Marie, I do love those sarong/towels and will be getting myself one too! xx
DeleteOh I love a holiday capsule post and you have chosen some lovely pieces here Frances x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sharron xx
DeleteLove this post Frances, it's so nice having it all laid out to read in one place - I think I may take inspiration from this! I am so in need of a good denim short so off to check out Gap's. Oh and those t-shirts look great too x
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie, the gap shorts are lovely xx
DeleteI'm thinking about my holiday packing and I've still got five weeks to go. Iam determined not to overpack. If anything I finish up taking too many shoes and you are right the heels hardly ever get worn I love that Mango linen tee
ReplyDeleteI am so determined this year too..good luck xx
DeleteThank you for the lovely post and lots of inspiration. I think I have the travelling outfit sorted - I even scored that Mango jacket today at 40% off!!! I just have to find clothes for evenings out... And not to pack too many pairs of shoes. Turkey, here I come!
ReplyDeleteYay so glad you got that fab jacket 40% off!! Have a wonderful holiday in Turkey xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat post, great items & great advice! I love the travelling outfit & that Oasis bag is so fab! Ax
