I am less than two weeks away from my upcoming travels to the UK. Hubby and I will spend 7 days in London, making two trips to Paris. All this has me excited and I must confess. I am getting pretty antsy as the days go by. Which has me wondering. What do I pack?
I know what you’re thinking. An empty suitcase, of course, right? Ok, yes, I will travel with an “almost empty” suitcase for all the wonderful finds I plan on bringing back. But what will I wear in the streets of London? Streets of Paris? With the exception of the ridiculously high counts of pollen, the temperature here in Atlanta has already reached 80 degrees so you know I’ve been sporting yellow denim and other bright colors. But London’s weather is unpredictable, so I’ve heard. Not so warm right now.
So far, I’ve only committed to 2 pair of jeans and 3 tops. The shoes/boots have me extremely puzzled. Comfortable, but cute, walking shoes are a must. Party footwear have to accompany me on this trip and some fun pieces of jewelry, of course (thanks to http://www.bexcessive.com). But is that enough?
I have been spending time on some of the more popular Street Style blogs in London, just to get an idea of what my outerwear options are. But I’m curious, what are your favorite London Street Style blogs? Perhaps, they can help me pull my suitcase together.
Dressing for London in the spring? Now that’s a tough one, and I live here! It could be anywhere between gloves-and-scarf cold, and legs-out-and sandals warm, so definitely bring some layers and a mid-weight jacket, like a parka or bomber jacket would be perfect. Also, you can get away with a lot in London (fashion-wise, at least!), so if you have something a bit crazy you’ve been waiting to wear, then definitely bring it with you. Have a great trip!

Noted Anneka. I will definitely pack wild and crazy our go shopping for some while there!
Anneka is right, the weather can change in an instant. It has been lovely the past few days and is set to continue so I am bringing out the lighter pieces from my wardrobe. Your best option is bring layers so whatever the weather you are all set. Let us know how get on in London town. Hopefully you will enjoy our side of the pond!

Layers, huh? Will do. My luggage just went from ” wow, I’m getting much better at packing” to ” hmm, this is not gonna work”. Thanks for the tip.
