What I'm Taking to America // Clothes

So for my last instalment for this mini series I thought I would show you a collection of the clothes that I'm planning to take to America with me. These photo's show that my summer wardrobe mainly consists of black and white clothes with a hint of denim and the occasional pink and literally no other colours!

Shoes // I've got my pair of flatforms from H&M but because they do give me horrendous blisters I also purchased a pair of converse type trainers from New Look to add to my black shoe collection.

Dresses and Playsuits // All of these here can be worn casually in the day or dressed up in the evening, something useful to have in a city!

Tops and Shorts // This collection of shorts and top are all very inter-changeable. I think having lots of different separate pieces will work out well if I've stuck what to wear.

Bikini's // These high-waisted Topshop bottoms came the other day and I'm so excited to mix and match them with my various bikini tops.

Kimono's // I've got this H&M kimono and black cardi which are both perfect and lightweight to keep me warm in the cooler evenings.

So there you have it - What I'm planning on taking to America! Let me know if you like this mini-series, it was quite fun blogging everyday for a bit it must be said. I fly tomorrow (excited yet surreal) but have got a couple of posts lined up and plan to blog a bit in Florida. Anyway I better go and pack as I've got a haircut this evening (Yes, It's going even shorter!)

Albums bought for the plane - George Ezra, Clean Bandit and 5 Seconds of Summer.

What I'm Taking to America // Beauty Essentials

For my second installment of What I'm Taking to America I'm going to attempt to talk about some of the beauty items I am panning on taking. Now as you know, I am no beauty expert so I can't really talk to much in detail about everything because I don't really know, I just either like a product or I don't - and these are the ones I like!

Sleek Rose Gold Blush 926 // It has such a gorgeous subtle shimmer and the rose colour is lovely.

Topshop Highlighter in Sunbeam // This is brand new but the shine and colour look dazzling and perfect for a summer glow.

Sun Cream // You can never have enough suncream!

After Sun Moisturiser // To lock in any tan I may have gotten and soothe my skin.

Sheer Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner // I'm hoping this and the sun will keep my blonde hair extra vibrant in colour.

L'oreal Nude Magique BB Cream // This is also new but I'm so excited to try this out, I wanted a lighter coverage on my face compared to normal as it is going to be hot there!

Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Waterproof mascara // A waterproof mascara is a must for the long lazy days by the pool.

Nivea Soft Moisturiser // My everyday moisturiser is needed even more after being in the sun all day.

So there you have it, my essential beauty items! What are your hliday beauty essentials?

What I'm taking to America // Hand Luggage

Over the next couple of days I'm going to be doing a mini-series where I'm showing what I'm taking to America! Now I go this week but I haven't started packing yet but thought to start off with I'd show you what I'll be taking in my hand luggage, as its an 8 hour flight, I'll need some entertainment! Although I did see that Divergent is on the tv so that's a plus.

Bag // A standard backpack that is going to be super handy on the long sightseeing days in Chicago.

Journal // I love documenting what I'm feeling or any idea's I have in here.

Magazines // A must have on any flight.

Kindle // I need to update my reading list but my kindle and reading will be a major part of my holiday.

Sunglasses // For stepping out into the sunny Chicago skies.

Hair Ties // Always a must when I need to throw my hair into a top knot on the plane.

Carmex // I hate the dryness that comes with flying so this will most definitely be needed.

Headphones // I don't think I could handle my holiday - mostly my flight and sunbathing - without headphones.

Iphone Charger Case // Allows my phone to have double battery life which is great as the Iphone battery life is so rubbish and it would be dead after an hour of the flight!

Iphone // Because I just cannot seem to go anywhere with it.

Hope you enjoyed this small sneak peak into my packing, keep an eye out for more over the next couple of days!
