Packing for a Minibreak with Your New Man
by Anna Martin
Sunny weather, a new man in your life... what more could you ask for? Summer romances offer the perfect excuse for going away on weekend excursions. Whether you are taking a road trip or flying to New York City for the weekend, savvy packing is a must (I mean, who wants to be that girl with a million suitcases?). A weekend away with your boy will build lasting memories together and help you to see each other outside of the everyday.
I’ve put a list together to help you have that perfect getaway. The key to any packing list is versatility and low maintenance beautiful style.
First up, I say bring out the scarves. I know it’s summer but a light weight scarf can be your ally. During my last trip, my scarf was used to accessorize my outfit, wrap my hair back after swimming, and keep me warm when the sun went down. H & M is featuring a summer scarf collection I think you’ll love.
Footwear is always so tricky when you’re trying to pack light! Pat yourself on the back if you can get away and only bring three pairs of shoes. I suggest you bring your trusty flip flops, runners, and a pair of dress sandals. I’m in love with the leather sandals found at CYDWOQ . Check out their website for store locations worldwide.
For packing all of your things, splurge on a Matt & Nat overnighter Kravitz bag (CAD$285), or if that doesn’t fit the budget check out Urban Planet’s distressed leather bag (CAD$19.50).
If your weekend plans include hitting the open road, I suggest you show your man your caring side and pack a tin full of treats. Try making your own caramel corn with this wonderful recipe found on Epicurious.com. Prep time is only 20 minutes! Or if you’re not into baking try Gold Rush Kettle Korn found at Wholefoods.
When you arrive at your destination, give yourself a spa treatment with this wonderful body gelato I found while on Salt Spring Island last weekend. The body gelato is made fresh everyday by hand and exfoliates and hydrates your skin. Use it on your man’s feet for a wonderful foot massage. I used it and just felt the stress of the week melt away.
So for all of your weekends of summer bliss, I hope this list helps you enjoy every minute! Have fun!
