Travel Kit. Ready…go! Are you excited?! And are you ready to face summer holidays? I definitely am, I can’t wait! :) In the meanwhile, today I’d like to tell you about my ultimate Travel Kit: are you sure that you took everything you need? Didn’t you forget anything???
LIQUIDS AND HAND LUGGAGE: HOW I ORGANIZE MY MAKEUP BAG FOR A TRIP!
IN GENERAL…
CITY GUIDE
It doesn’t matter if you’re at the seaside, in the city or on the mountains, my advice is to buy a guide book about the place you’re visiting. It can be nice just relaxing on the beach but it’s always better get to know the place not just a tiny spot near the hotel. You’ll find many ideas to fully enjoy your trip. ;) Are you tired to hold it in your hand all the time, during the tour? Try this smart items!
CAMERA, SELFIE STICK… SMART PHONE LENS! A trip is not a trip if you don’t create lifetime memories. So bring a camera with you. An handy alternative? Lens for your smartphone like this iPhone Camera Lens or lens + cover: but remember to clear the memory of your mobile before leaving!
FOLDABLE FLATS: ALWAYS keep them in your bag in case of emergency!! This pair for instance is very cute ;)
PLUG ADAPTER, very important! :)
PORTABLE LUGGAGE SCALE, fundamental if you travel by plane and you don’t want exceed the luggage weight limits. Organize evenly your suitcases in the hotel before getting at the check-in desk.;)
What to wear for traveling. The temptation when we’re traveling is to “abandon ourselves“, and just wear the first thing we stumble across. Or, and perhaps even worse, to dress up far too much and be uncomfortable for the journey. We’re aiming for something in between. When you travel you want to be comfy, not just because it’s practical, obviously, but also for your health and well being. Sitting down for long periods of time with very tight clothing and/or heels is terrible for your circulation and will make cellulite worse. Also the air conditioning in planes and airports is bad for our health. Another thing we often overlook is make up, hair and hydration! So we have to take care of ourselves.
So when I traveled to Los Angeles, a total of 20 hours in plane and car, I decided to write this post.
Some practical tips:
– LEGGINGS: Your best friend when traveling for long journeys are cotton leggings. Nothing synthetic, nothing too tight. They are super comfy, and it’s like being in a onesie but with more style.
– SOCKS: Long socks are almost mandatory for everyone because they help with circulation problems. You can find them easily in the airport or in a pharmacy, so wear them under your leggings and no one will see, they’re soft and comfy and keep you warm (it’s always freezing on planes). If you’re traveling in summer and you don’t want to wear socks (I get that), opt for a pop sock: they help too!
– LOTS OF LAYERS: If you’re traveling in winter to a hot destination, or vice versa in summer to a cold destination, you’ll need lots of layers. At risk of making yourself ill, don’t neglect this. In winter I usually opt for a thick sweater, a coat and a scarf. In summer, a top, thin sweater, silk scarf and light jacket that you can fold up easily. It’s always cold on planes, so take something to cover up.

Fare la valigia per le vacanze. Dicembre, il mese dalla valigia. Oh, finalmente si stacca un pochino. Che sia il weekend sulla neve, l’ultimo dell’anno fuori, il Natale con i parenti: il minimo comune denominatore però è sempre poco spazio e tante cose da portare. Così oggi ho pensato di dedicare il post alla valigia da weekend / weekend lungo, quella piccola per portarsi dietro il necessario per massimo dai 2 ai 4 giorni.. qualche consiglio per ottimizzare lo spazio e portare tutto il necessario. L’idea è arrivata da Omega che questa volta mi ha lanciato la sfida del “48 ore in valigia”. Così, ho scelto un orologio che fosse estremamente versatile, da giorno e da sera, perfetto per ogni look, perfetto per 48 ore di viaggio (e anche più!). La mia scelta è ricaduta sull’ Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch: uno degli orologi più iconici di Omega. Lui si che è un viaggiatore: ha partecipato a tutte e sei le missioni lunari! Vetro zaffiro resistente ai graffi, cassa acciaio inossidabile, cinturino di pelle nera.. bellissimo e super versatile!
