If there’s one thing I’ve decided I need to do more of, it’s finding the time to relax and refresh outside of my own little bubble. Whether this involves planning a much needed holiday abroad, or packing a suitcase for a night away in the city, I’m really into treating myself to stylish staycations.

The hardest thing when it comes to a staycation is the packing situation, and while I’m someone who enjoys an organised life, even I find this process a little perplexing. I mean, how does one fit the necessities; pjs, toiletries, clothes, LBD, heels, makeup, straightener, jewellery and clutch into a small overnight bag? This kind of problem solving is simply impossible… That is until I found myself with the perfect luggage solution from the online factory outlet Bags To Go.

Offering an affordable array of top of the range luggage, including American Tourister, Antler, Hartmann, Paklite and more, I found myself scrolling through a fabulous selection of suitcases to help upgrade my travel game to a seasoned and stylish traveller. Before I knew it, I was adding a classic Samsonite port to my shopping cart.

What I love about the Octolite is it’s super light design – because there’s nothing worse than lugging around a heavy port. Inside the suitcase, you’ll find a very generous interior, including multi pockets to divide up your delicates. While it’s functionality ticks all the right boxes, I think it’s important to note that this suitcase ticks all the aesthetic boxes also. The matte black case and chrome hardware is the perfect combination of classic and cool, creating a modern statement for the gal that likes to travel stylishly. If you haven’t already, make sure you check out Bags To Go for all your travel necessities.

First stop, the Brisbane Marriott Hotel for a luxurious stay in an executive suite – watch this space for part 2.

Review Delphi Coat, Review Tuscan Spot Dress, Wittner Alice Heel, Seleos Australia Billy Earrings.

It’s no secret that European fashionista’s have a certain sophistication, an air of elegance, a unspoken confidence seen in their exquisite sense of style. Replicating the refined and dreamy elements of Paris with a hint of Tuscany, I’m sharing my 4 Hot Tips for Looking European Chic!

1. Delicate print dresses are a must! Nothing says Roman Holiday like a delicate, ladylike print, and this Review Tuscan Spot Dress is delightfully fitting.

2. Learn how to layer. If there’s one thing Europeans have down pat, it’s layering like a queen. Invest in a fabulous trench to drape over your shoulders, or layer up a little Autumn number. This Review Delphi Coat, is my latest fav, as it’s super stylish and toasty, roasty warm.

3. Accessories should be understated yet chic. You won’t see an abundance of heavy jewels adorning European beauties, but rather minimalist pieces become statement chic. These dainty earrings from Seleos are on constant rotation, as I’m loving their floral motif and rose gold glamour.

4. Nail the neutrals. When it comes to European dressing, think less bright and more neutrals – ivory, cream, nude, navy, white, grey and black. With a love for atonal dressing, I’m colour blocking blush with blush and highlighting a coordinated ensemble, fit for a Parisian adventure.

My lovely Australian fashionista’s, how are you replicating dreamy European trends? Or European fashionista’s, is my ensemble on point? I’de love to hear your tips and tricks in the comments below!
