Packing for Poland...

I'll be honest, I love packing!

I'm such a nerd, haha, but I love writing lists and I love getting organised - I've had my 'outfits' (if you will, lol) planned out since I went clothes shopping/shoe shopping with my birthday money and now we are finally here!!

Isn't it funny that I'm more bothered about dressing well for a country where only 1 person knows me (through blogging) yet I really don't care how I look at work...

Accessories and shoes!
Including 2 hats, 2 scarfs, 4 bags, 3 purses, 3 pairs of shoes, 1 pair of boots and my passport holder...

Clothes!
Including 5 cardigans, 6 vests, 5 evening type tops and 2 jumpers... I also packed a pair of jeans - not seen here...

Cameras and lens!
Including two yashicas (the autofocus and samurai), my beloved helga the holga and her sister Deedee the diana mini and my fuji instax mini. I also packed a wide angle and fish eye lens for my holga and included K's action sampler as well but that was downstairs at the time... oops!

I'm slightly concerned this is too much for a week (i didnt photograph the pile of film I have stashed to go...) however I am also so so excited!!

p.s. Sorry again for the rubbish photos - I had a stern word with my phone...

p.s.s. you'll notice, no skirts, no dresses, no jewelry, no heels and no pink!

And as somebody who once brought five scarves for a three day trip, I think you're fine- there's nothing wrong with having too many clothes!; 13 October 2010 at 16:34

Melissa said...: Too funny, I love packing too! There's something about that challenge of going through all your stuff and trying to get it to all fit in as few bags as possible, haha. Have an amazing time in Poland!!; 13 October 2010 at 18:16

sheba said...: wanna come and pack for me every time i have a trip planned? i used to love it, but in walked a baby, and soon it became all about packing for him, leaving me a few minutes to pack for myself before we rushed out the door.

i totally understand wanting to be cute and stylish while on vacation! and if it all fits, take it! you'll be kicking yourself if you leave something behind only to want it mid-week!

do you pack the cameras in your luggage or in your carry-on?

can't wait to see your photos! have a fab trip!; 13 October 2010 at 20:00

Anonymous said...: Leave the black flats at home, I believe weather in Poland is a bit too cold for these. I'm going to Lithuania in three days and I'm taking my warmest wool coat. :D And since Poland happened to be Lithuanians neighbour country.. :)) Have a nice trip and make tons of beautiful photos! Good luck :); 14 October 2010 at 19:51

Eadaoin said...: Have an amazing time!!! This is an absolutely perfect selection of cameras, certainly not too many, all of them will give you a different kind of shot (the action sampler should be great fun, looking forward to seeing those results!).; 14 October 2010 at 20:50
elle :: dare my wild heart said...: Fact: You can never take too many cameras or too much film on holiday.

Have a great time!

Anonymous said...: i'm the same -- i tend to pack more than i need when i travel for those just-in-case moments. in any case, you'll be ready for style and comfort. i'm excited for you!; 15 October 2010 at 03:41
Peppermint Wink said...: Very organised, indeed... And I just love that owl bag of yours. When it comes to me packing, it basically involves me throwing a whole bunch of clothes on the floor - most of them I probably won't even wear - and hoping they all fit in my suitcase.; 22 October 2010 at 10:28
