Secrets to packing for an overnight trip
Josephine Lalwan is the owner of fashion blog Chic at any age, a fashion resource for women over 50 who want to learn more about style, fashion and what will suit them as mature women. Below is an extract from the London native's blog, exploring the best things to wear and pack for an overnight trip.
Preparing for an adventure often starts with the same thought. What to wear to travel in and what to pack in my overnight bag?
On Friday we are off to Marseille for diner and an overnight stay on our way to the South of France. We are planning to explore the city. I have never been to Marseille so am looking forward to visiting the museum and other interesting sites.
I have put together a capsule travel wardrobe based on navy, grey with touches of serenity blue. Plus, my fabulous new “Grosvenor” equestrian inspired shoulder bag. The Grosvenor is a combination of leather and nylon, which makes it super lightweight and ideal for travelling. It has a main compartment with zip and slip pockets. There is also a pocket at the back that secures with a popper to keep your essentials safe and secure.
I would describe Radley bags as practical and classic with a twist. Many of their designs feature a very British Scottie dog as an iconic mascot. (They do ship internationally).
See below my pick for the perfect outfit for winter travelling.
Below are the kind of items you should have in your travel bag. (We would suggest a woolly pair of stockings also).
