We have not been able to get away for any long trips this summer but we have a few weekends planned and love to take off in September when the weather cools a bit
I'm not an advanced awesome packer but I have learned a few tricks, one of which is to take a wardrobe that essentially is all in the same color family
In this case I'm taking every thing in
white
khaki
&
soft blush pink
I try to keep jewelry to a minimum,
usually one necklace, a great watch and two pairs of earrings
(do you own an Apple watch? I don't but they look pretty darn fun)
I always pack a hat...it's that crazy hair thing that happens to me ; )
Maxi's work because that can transition from day to dinner fairly easily
This is a pretty light creamy skirt from Zara
and I like easy comfortable pants
usually jeans or drapey linen
and tailored cropped trousers are a great call
For a quick weekend trip, I wear one pair of shoes and bring a spare but never more than that because I never wear them!
Seriously..... I have packed more shoes for vacations
and wind up wearing only two pair the entire trip
Always a pair of sneakers
chucks are a great choice
and a pair of low heals or maybe a great comfy boot
I found these on Zappos and I loooooove them
Our little getaways are alway by car
so luggage is simple
with duffles that work both as a purse and for clothes
I love this classic Branch Tote
from LL Bean
you can have these monogramed too
and throw a simple clutch inside the tote for shopping or dinner
this simple white one is from Brooks Brothers
So here is what I have planned for two days
on a foodie getaway in Northern California
turquoise necklace @Nordstrom
bucket hat @UrbanOutfitters (Stussy)
belt @JCrew
heels @Macy's
sunnies @Salt
chucks @Zappos
sweater@RalphLauren (Denim & Supply)
vest@BannanaRepublic
cashmere wrap scarf@White+Warren
basic tee@Gap
tote@LLBean
white jeans@LaurenRalphLauren
knit maxi@Polo
clutch@BrooksBrothers
nails@Dior (Tra-La-La)
lips@Dior (Creme de Rose lip balm)
eyes@UrbanDecay
(I didn't give you all of the links but these are all items that are really easy to find)
oh and don't forget the wine opener
HiCoup@Amazon
see you soon!
xxoo
Kelley,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a road trip, especially to Northern California. Great selection of essentials. I saved your last post about "the uniform". I'm in the pare down mode on all things unnecessary. :-)
xo,
Karen
I can't find the low boots on Zappo's..........help!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the Dolce Vita Findley. I'm a 7.5 and it fits perfect. I think it runs a bit narrow but that was not a problem for me. No bells or whistles which I love and minimalist to go with so many things. Only have worn them once though ; ) I love zappos too
DeleteGreat packing selections! Luv the classic, simple mix.
ReplyDeletePlease let us know what wonderful food experiences you have on this trip. We have a road trip planned to Northern CA in early October.
ReplyDeletePerfect wardrobe for Napa, you might want to add one pair of walking shorts to the mix, it can still be warm in Napa in September. You will have a wonderful trip, it is so beautiful there. If you stop by Satuui winery be sure to have their cream dill shrimp in the deli, and the roasted veggies, with a baguette it is the perfect picnic lunch with your favorite wine. have fun!! We live about an hour from Napa so we are lucky to go there on a day trip, love it there.
ReplyDeleteOh boy am I ready for a few road trips after the hip replacement!! We haven't been to Napa/Sonoma in forever...hoping to go in September as well...I adore those Chucks...I have them in gray and ordered them in black!!
ReplyDeleteI always find packing for a holiday - especially a longer break so difficult. I adore your choices... soft, cool and elegant! You have wonderful style!! Jenny xx

Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
