London Fashion Week Top Packing Tips
London Fashion Week Top Packing Tips
London Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week
Paris Fashion Week
London Fashion Week is once again in full swing, and the citys most fashion-savvy celebs, stylists, bloggers and dedicated followers of fashion are out in full force. Ive been lucky enough to attend some amazing shows in recent years, highlights of which included Moschino and Topshop Unique. Sitting in the same room as the likes of Kate Moss, Anna Wintour and Philip Green and seeing Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn walk the runway sparked some serious style inspiration!
The lovely people at HomeAway, recently asked me to put together a little list of tips for packing for London Fashion Week, and as Im a bit of a fan of the flat lay, I thought Id show you what Id take with me to London, New York and Paris fashion week. (A girl can dream right?) I actually enjoyed doing these so much that I nearly booked an impromptu trip!

LFW Packing Tips
1. Wear comfortable shoes! Theres nothing worse than running around London all day in 6-inch heels, but if you just cant give them up, take a pair of flats with you for emergencies and wear your heels a couple of times to break them in. (Dont forget to pack the blister plasters!)
2. Travel light. You dont want to be carrying half your office around with you, but blogging can often mean lugging your heavy DSLR around with you, plus your laptop and phone - the list is endless. Try taking a smaller compact camera with you like the Canon G7X, youd be surprised at the amazing quality photos it can produce. Or, if you just cant imagine not taking your big camera, swap your bulky lens for a pancake lens instead, itll take up half the room in your bag and you wont need major back surgery afterwards!
3. Layer up! Fashion week in Feb is always temperamental weather wise. Be prepared for all eventualities with lighter layers that you can remove if we have a sudden sunny spell (wishful thinking?) I always bring a big scarf with me which instantly adds interest to an outfit, and a hat is a great alternative to carrying an umbrella around with you - and so much more stylish!
Even if youre not heading to Fashion Week, I think all of these tips would apply when packing for a city break. If youre off somewhere soon, why not create your own little packing flat lay? Its a great way to see if everything youre taking works well together, and you can see if youve left anything out. If you create your own, please share it with us using the hashtag #LFW and tag @homeawayUK.
