A few days after you read this I will be hopping on a plane to Copenhagen for my boyfriends 21st birthday and christmas present and I cannot wait! I think short breaks are the perfect amount of time to explore new cities and learn about another culture.
The Flight
When travelling my number one essential item would be a pair of headphones so you can listen to music and relax whilst on the plane. As a nervous flyer, I find it to be the perfect distraction and some of my favourite current tracks I will be listening to are Love Yourself - Justin Beiber, Lay It All On Me - Rudimental feat. Ed Sheeran and Eighteen - Dive In. I also like to bring a snack with me in case I get a bit peckish during the flight and a small bottle of perfume to freshen up once I have got off the plane and can also use during the holiday.
Day-Time Exploring
As the weather will be very cold, windy and potentially rainy an umbrella, gloves, scarves, and a hat are a must! I have never been a hat person so I am borrowing my mums lovely Khaki Faux Fur Pom Beanie Hat from Topshop which will do just the job at keeping my hair at bay! To protect my lips from becoming chapped I always carry some vaseline in my handbag and the Rosy Lips Tin also doubles as a lip tint.
A wide purse is a must to bring on holiday with me to store my money in and I also think it is a great way to temporarily store attraction tickets and so forth. This Michael Kors purse is also very secure because the zip fastens all the way around the opening.
I love taking photographs on holiday - I mean who doesn't? As well as using my phone and a camera, I think polaroids give a great rawness to images. It would also be a nice idea to hang them up on a bedroom wall when you return so your memories can be on display :-)
Night-Time Adventures
To transform my make-up from day to night I love a good pink and purple toned palette and a flick of eyeliner for a bolder look. The Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette has great pigmentation and staying power so I can ensure that it will last me all night.
When the night-time adventures come to an end, theres nothing better than snuggling down into the covers and divulging into a book. I received the Millie Mackintosh: Made book for christmas and look forward to continue reading it.
