Off to the wild west today--well, not quite yet, first we're going to Banff National Park and the Columbia ice fields. I just finished packing everything into a backpack (much to the disappointment of all you fashionistas out there). Less is more, and not even I am willing to go hiking in 4" heels, thank you. Here's what I'm bringing for the 9-day excursion, in case you're interested:
three tank tops (these double as pjs after being worn twice--locate a laundromat nearby or sink wash)
a flowy top (can be dressed up or down)
a blouse (to layer with in case it gets cold)
a pair of jeans
a pair of denim shorts
a pair of khaki capris
a flowy maxi dress (which can be knotted to varying lengths)
a swim suit (for the hot springs/hotel pool)
a faux leather jacket
three necklaces (chosen wisely, haha) and a couple of rings (probably unnecessary)
a 2-in-1 belt (so it can be worn around the waist or hips)
a hairbrush, bobby pins, hair elastics, and a giant hair clip
a little makeup (mascara, lipstick)
toiletries (moisturizer, perfume, etc.)
a set of pjs
as many bras, socks, and underwear as you need
a pair of sandals
a pair of sneakers (wear the pair of shoes which take up the most space on the plane)
sunnies
a side-sling purse and/or wallet (don't forget your ID)
cell phone, ipod, camera (and all chargers)
a book (I'm bringing eat, pray, love by Elizabeth Gilbert)
a couple pens and a sharpie
notepad (or journal, if you write a lot)
gum (peppermint, always)
a refillable water bottle
a pack of travel-size Kleenex and safety pins (very handy)
sunscreen and bug spray
... and I'll be back in a week with a cowboy hat! for now, I present to you the anthem of summer 2012.
