Short Trip Packing; The Only Way is Marbs

At the beginning of last month I went to Marbella with my Fiance and 5 others friends for a short break.  We booked this quite last minute and had hand luggage only.  However the 1 other girl that went had a checked in suitcase.  This all seems like ages ago now but I thought I would share how I prepared for a weekend in the sun with limited luggage space.

First, I purchased a small flexible cabin sized suitcase with 4 wheels which I think is important as its easier to pack and also quicker to move without getting in people's way in the airport.  I got it in the Summer sale at Matalan for £23 which isn't too bad but you can also get them from Primark for about the same price.  I can also use this case for just short trips in the UK instead of several heavy bags.
I took the following with me;

Shoes

  • Skechers Trainers
  • Flip Flops
  • Strappy Wedges
Clothes
  • 2 pairs of shorts
  • 1 nightdress
  • 5 pairs of knickers
  • 2 bras
  • 4 pairs of socks
  • 3 dresses
  • 1 skirt
  • 4 tops
  • 1 pair of jeans
  • 1 hoodie
  • 2 Bikinnis
  • 1 Swimsuit
Liquids (you`re allowed up to 10 items 100ml or under each, in 1 clear bag)
  • Shampoo
  • Bodywash
  • Deoderant
  • Hairspray
  • 2 Suntan Lotions
  • After sun aloe vera gel
Unfortunately I had to put my make up bag and perfume in my friend's checked in suitcase as I had too many liquids including creams in there.

Stuff

  • 1 Small Handbag
  • 1 Shopping Bag
  • Chargers
  • European Adapter Plug
  • Phone
  • Passport
  • Purse
  • 6 Hair Grips
  • 3 Hair Bands
  • Small Hairbrush
  • Toothbrush
  • Wash Puff
  • Make Up Wipes
  • Tissues
  • Painkillers
  • Breakfast Bars
  • Plasters
  • Purse
  • Sunglasses
  • 3 Necklaces
  • 1 Bracelet
  • 2 Earrings
  • 1 Watch
  • and probably some other bits I've forgotten

It all worked out great and I had a blast.


p.s Spanish supermarkets have great temporary tattoos and bracelets

If you're anything like me, then you love to dress up on holiday, in those cute little shorts and your summer dresses.  In honour of my Jamaican holiday I have put together for you my favourite holiday looks of the last 5 years, just as I didn't take as many vain pictures on this holiday.  And this is our goodbye to Summer and hello to Autumn.
