travelling light

Packing coming up to midnight is always a bad idea, but I'm such a last minute person, I never really learn. Tomorrow I'm off to explore the gaelic town Pitlochry with the girls. Which I hope will lead to a more interesting post. For now, my 5 traveling essentials-
1. Florals, I'm crazy for them and summer brings out my expansive floral ward-drobe 
2. Vaseline, confessed lip balm junkie
3. Filofax, 9/10 times I don't need it, but that 1 time, o it grinds me 
4. Smart phone, so I can keep in touch with the world *cough* play Angry Birds
5. Macbook Pro, need I say more
The essential not featuring in my list is my camera, because it isn't really a travel essential, more just an essential of everyday life. It goes everywhere with me, much like my bank card. 
Some last minute travel advice? Spray the inside of your bag with your favourite perfume, right now I'm wearing Angel, and when you open your suitcase your clothes will smell beautiful.

  1. Never thought about spraying my suitcase with perfume, but that definitely sounds like a good idea! And yeah computers, smart phone are also on my essential list of travel items - can't live without them.

  7. I´m always a little late with packing too - it´s like I just can´t focus on it until it´s really close! :-)

  8. Hey, sorry for the late reply!

    I was able to shoot fireworks using high shutter speed. I depend on the light that the fireworks give off to capture it. I don't use low shutter speeds because although in theory it makes sent to slow down the shutter speed because it is dark, it would just blur everything together. You can do this using a DSLR, I use the Nikon D300s :)
